Use Typeform Triggers and Actions in Workflows
With Typeform connected, every new response can start a workflow instantly, and the workflow can work with your forms.
Trigger
New Entry (Instant): fires the moment a respondent submits a form. It is delivered by webhook, so there is no polling delay.
Actions
- Create Empty Form: creates a blank form.
- Duplicate Existing Form: copies a form with its questions.
- Search Responses in a Form: retrieves earlier responses for use later in the workflow.
These are premium actions and count toward premium usage.
Connect and build
- In Automation > Workflows, click Add New Trigger and search for Typeform.
- Select New Entry, then Connect Now and complete the authorization. You can also connect in Settings > Integrations.
- Choose the form to watch.
- Click Test Trigger so a real response is fetched, then map fields such as name, email, and each answer to workflow values.
- Add your actions, such as creating a Contact, applying a tag, and sending an email.
- Save and publish.
Examples
- Create or update a Contact from each response and add a "Typeform lead" tag.
- Send a personalized thank-you SMS that quotes one of the answers.
- Notify the right teammate when a specific choice is selected.
Good to know: Submit a real test response in Typeform first, since the trigger test needs a genuine sample to map.
