Can I capture info besides answers, like IP address or the device type?
### Submissions

In addition to the answers to the questions on your form, Paperform captures a bit of other information about the device used to fill it out.

You'll find some of these in the [submission results](https://paperform.co/help/articles/where-are-my-submissions/) for your form, such as the public IP address of the submitter's network. Exporting your results as a CSV will also show the device type used (desktop, mobile, or tablet).

## Direct Integrations

You might also want to pass this information to other apps using [direct integrations](https://paperform.co/help/articles/direct-integrations/).

To send info other than answers through to an integrated app, you can use these keys:

 - `{{ total }}` — The total price, determined from [Products](https://paperform.co/help/articles/add-and-configure-products/), [Price fields](https://paperform.co/help/articles/price-field/), and [Custom Pricing Rules](https://paperform.co/help/articles/custom-pricing-rules/).
 - `{{ score }}` — If you have configured [Scoring](https://paperform.co/help/articles/how-to-setup-scoring/), this shows the total score.
 - `{{ coupon }}` — If a [coupon](https://paperform.co/help/articles/how-do-i-give-discounts-or-coupons-on-my-forms/) was applied, this shows the coupon code.
 - `{{ submitted_at }}` — A timestamp of the submission. This will use the Timezone and Date Format set in your [Account Settings](https://paperform.co/account/).
 - `{{ submission_id }}` — The unique ID for this submission.
 - `{{ device }}` — The type of device used (desktop, mobile, or tablet).

More information about the device, browser, and network can be found using these properties:

 - `{{ device.device }}` — The name of the device (e.g. Macintosh, iPhone).
 - `{{ device.platform }}` — The submitter's operating system.
 - `{{ device.browser }}` — The name of the browser used to submit the form (e.g. Chrome, Firefox).
 - `{{ device.user_agent }}` — The browser's [user agent string](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent).
 - `{{ device.ip_address }}` — The public (external) IP of the submitter.

The same information is available when integrating via third-party services [Zapier](https://paperform.co/help/articles/connect-paperform-to-zapier/) and [Make (Integromat)](https://paperform.co/help/articles/make-integrations/).

## Gotchas

 - Some of the keys listed above are supported in other places where [answer piping](https://paperform.co/help/articles/answer-piping-guide/) is supported after submission, such as [custom PDFs](https://paperform.co/help/articles/custom-pdfs/). They are not all supported in every case, however, so make sure to test them out thoroughly if you'd like to give it a try outside of an integration.
 - The `{{ device }}` key will not appear in the Answer Piping options unless at least **one** submission has been received on your form.
