Typeform Trigger

What it does: Fires your workflow the moment someone submits a Typeform — delivering all their answers as variables you can use in downstream steps.

When to Use This

• ✅ Process job applications as soon as candidates submit your Typeform
• ✅ Send a personalized follow-up email based on form answers
• ✅ Route form submissions to different Slack channels based on response
• ✅ Create CRM contacts when leads fill out your contact form
• ✅ Score quiz responses with an AI block and return results to the respondent
• ✅ Log survey responses to Google Sheets or Airtable automatically

Supported Events

Prerequisites

• A Typeform account (Core, Growth, or Business plan — webhooks require at least Core)
• Admin access to the Typeform you want to connect
• Your Typeform Personal Access Token

Setup Guide

Step 1 — Get Your Typeform Access Token

1. Log in to Typeform
2. Click your profile picture → Settings → Personal tokens
3. Click Generate a new token
4. Give it a name (e.g., InditeAI)
5. Copy the token

Step 2 — Connect Credentials

1. Add the Typeform Trigger to your workflow
2. Click Select Credentials → Create New
3. Paste your Personal Access Token
4. Save credentials

Step 3 — Enter Your Form ID

1. Open your Typeform in the editor
2. The Form ID is in the URL: https://admin.typeform.com/form/**abc123xyz**/create
3. Copy the Form ID and paste it into the Form ID field in the trigger settings

Step 4 — Get Your Webhook URL and Register It

1. In the trigger settings, copy the Webhook URL
2. Open your Typeform → Connect → Webhooks
3. Click Add a webhook
4. Paste your Webhook URL
5. Optionally add a Tag to identify this webhook (matches the Tag field in trigger settings)
6. Click Save and toggle Enable webhook

Step 5 — Test the Connection

Submit a test response to your Typeform (use the Preview button in Typeform editor). Check your workflow's execution history to confirm the trigger fired.

Best Practices

• ✅ Use Typeform's Hidden Fields to pass context (user ID, UTM source) into responses
• ✅ Use a Condition block to filter responses by specific answers before processing
• ✅ Store {{trigger.responseId}} if you need to deduplicate retried webhooks
• ✅ Use Typeform's Preview to test webhooks without real users
• ✅ Tag your webhooks in Typeform to distinguish multiple workflows on the same form

Troubleshooting

Workflow not triggering after form submission

Check:

1. Is the webhook enabled in Typeform (toggle shows active)?
2. Does the Webhook URL in Typeform match exactly what's shown in trigger settings?
3. Is your workflow saved and active?
4. Check View deliveries in Typeform for delivery errors

Webhook delivery fails

Fix: Verify that your InditeAI instance is publicly accessible. Local/development deployments (localhost) cannot receive Typeform webhooks. Use a tunneling tool like ngrok for local testing.

Missing answer variables

Fix: The variable path depends on question position. Use {{trigger.rawPayload}} to inspect the full payload structure, then access the specific answer you need.
