Shortest Data Retention possible about formie HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry, my mistake. Using the ./craft formie/gc/prune-data-retention-submissions is the more direct way to action pruning. In fact, it's this command that is added to Craft's garbage collection service, which is only run at certain times. Running this command will ensure that submissions are pruned immediately.

I would say that if you can help it, to use a Daemon or similar rather than a cron job for speedy execution. With this approach you have a listener on your server continually listening to the queue and running jobs as soon as they are added.

But if your after submission code isn’t using the integration or email notifications stuff then there’s no reason you can put that retention down as low as you can.

You’ll also want to force garbage collection to run with ./craft gc

Do you advice using craft gc instead of the build in formie prune command?
