How to Get Started with Zapier and Typeform

Connecting Typeform to Zapier lets you automatically send form responses to your favorite apps, reduce manual work, and build efficient workflows without code. This guide walks you through preparing your Typeform account, connecting it to Zapier, and setting up Zaps using Typeform triggers and actions.

What you need before you start with Zapier

Before you connect Typeform to Zapier, confirm that you have the correct setup so your automation will work reliably.

• An active Typeform account.
• Access to at least one published Typeform form.
• A Zapier account with access to create Zaps.
• Sign-in credentials for any other apps you want to connect.

If you are new to automation, you may also want to review integration strategy resources from platforms like Consultevo to plan your workflows before you build them.

How to connect Typeform to Zapier

To use Typeform in your workflows, you first need to connect it to Zapier so that your forms can send data to other apps.

Step 1: Start a new Zap in Zapier

1. Sign in to your Zapier account.
2. Click Create or Create Zap in your dashboard.
3. In the trigger search bar, type Typeform and select it when it appears.

Choosing Typeform as a trigger app tells Zapier to watch your forms for new responses or other events.

Step 2: Choose a Typeform trigger in Zapier

After you select Typeform, you will choose a trigger event. Common trigger options include:

• New Entry – fires when a new response is submitted to a form.
• New Entry (Webhook) – similar to New Entry, but uses webhooks for faster delivery of responses.

Select the trigger that best matches how you want Zapier to react to new Typeform data, then click Continue.

Step 3: Connect your Typeform account to Zapier

1. When prompted to choose an account, click Sign in to Typeform.
2. A new window will open asking you to authorize Zapier.
3. Log in to your Typeform account if you are not already signed in.
4. Review the permission request and click Accept or Authorize to allow Zapier to access your forms and responses.

Once authorized, your Typeform account is linked and available in Zapier for any future Zaps.

Step 4: Select your form and test the trigger

1. Back in the Zap editor, pick your connected Typeform account.
2. Open the Form dropdown and select the form you want Zapier to monitor.
3. Click Test or Test trigger.

Zapier will look for a recent response from the selected Typeform form so it can pull sample data. If no entries are found, submit a test response to your form and run the test again.

When the test succeeds, you will see example data from your form fields that you can use in the next steps of your Zap.

Using Typeform triggers in Zapier

Typeform triggers in Zapier let you start workflows whenever your forms receive new information.

• New Entry – best if slight delays are acceptable and you prefer a simple setup.
• New Entry (Webhook) – best when you need faster, near real-time delivery of data.

These triggers can send data into other apps such as CRMs, email marketing tools, project management platforms, or spreadsheets.

Common ways to use Typeform with Zapier

• Send new form submissions to a spreadsheet row.
• Create or update contacts in a CRM when someone fills out a form.
• Subscribe respondents to an email marketing list.
• Create support tickets or tasks from feedback forms.

Because Zapier passes along each answer from your Typeform, you can map specific responses to fields in your destination app.

How to add Typeform actions in Zapier

After you set your Typeform trigger, you can add an action step in Zapier to decide what happens with the data.

Adding an action app in Zapier

1. In the Zap editor, click the + icon under your Typeform trigger.
2. Search for the app you want to connect, such as Google Sheets, Slack, or your CRM.
3. Select an Action event, for example, Create Spreadsheet Row or Send Channel Message.
4. Connect the chosen app account, if you have not already.

Zapier will then let you map your Typeform fields to the action fields.

Mapping Typeform data to action fields

In the action step:

1. Click into a field, such as Email or Name.
2. Choose the corresponding data from the Typeform sample, like the answer to an email or name question.
3. Repeat for each field you want to populate.

This mapping tells Zapier exactly how Typeform responses should appear in your destination app.

Testing and turning on your Zapier workflow

Before relying on a new automation, always test your workflow in Zapier.

1. In the action step, click Test or Test & Review.
2. Zapier will send test data from Typeform to your chosen app.
3. Check the target app to confirm everything looks correct.
4. Return to the Zap editor and click Publish or turn the Zap On.

Once turned on, Zapier will automatically run this workflow each time your Typeform trigger fires.

Managing your Typeform connection in Zapier

You can manage your Typeform integration directly inside Zapier whenever you need to update access.

• Open your Zapier dashboard.
• Go to My Apps or a similar section for connected accounts.
• Find Typeform in the list.
• Update, reconnect, or remove the connection as needed.

If you change your Typeform password, permissions, or account ownership, you may need to reconnect it in Zapier so your Zaps continue to run.

Troubleshooting Typeform and Zapier issues

If your Typeform data is not appearing in other apps, review these areas:

• Confirm that your Zap is turned on.
• Check that you selected the correct Typeform form in the trigger.
• Make sure there are recent form submissions to test with.
• Verify that all required fields are mapped in your action step.
• Re-test the trigger and action from inside Zapier.

Next steps with Typeform and Zapier

Once you have a basic workflow running, you can expand your use of Typeform and Zapier by:

• Adding filters so only certain responses continue to the next step.
• Using paths to send different respondents to different apps based on their answers.
• Combining multiple apps in a single Zap to create multi-step automations.

By gradually refining each Zap, you can turn Typeform responses into powerful, automated processes that save time and keep your information synchronized across tools.
