Hi,
Is there a way to automatically export my data from bubble in a .csv/xlsx/google sheet format every week? Basically i want my complete app data to be available as spreadsheets outside of bubble also.

Thanks in advance !

I know @lindsay_knowcode built a tool for this. Here you go

Plan B - Backup your Database

I’ve created a service to Backup your Bubble data. Why? With paying customers on your platform, the worst possible event is the loss or corruption of the data that you store on their behalf. But can’t you roll back the database on Bubble? You can roll back your entire database to a given timestamp.

Thanks @Zeroic

@akshit You could just set up a backend workflow to email you your content as CSV. But between you and me and don’t tell anyone, if its a small Bubble app, I don’t actually expire the free trial and you can get backups free ( … until I think it’s unreasonable )

I’m curious why nobody is recommending zapier or n8n or make to do this automation. I appreciate the back up tool that @lindsay_knowcode has developed and i’ll give it a try but a lot of times while developing for clients, client is comfortable exposing their data API with only certain popular plugins (Zapier, Make.com etc. in this case)

You can use Bubble username/password authentication with PlanB if an admin token is an issue (though the usual use case for username/password is filtering with privacy rules) or roll your own backups with Zapier as you say.
