AEM Forms as Cloud Service - Storing user submitted data in CRX Repo

[naan_raja]

In AEM Forms as a Cloud Service, is it possible to store user submitted data in the CRX Repo itself without any external data storage?

Any help in topic is much appreciated. Thanks.

@naan_raja Saving data of the user in CRX is not the very best practice, you should use FDM to persist data to some external storage

Thanks @Mayank_Gandhi. Is this documented in any Adobe documentation? I tried searching in experience league documentation but I had no luck.

Thanks in advance.

You can store the data in external storage using FDM.

Multiple options exist with Forms as a cloud service: RESTful, SOAP-based web services, OData services (Version 4.0), and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

Two new options are available: Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SalesForce
