Using Typeform with CRM Workflows

Introduction

The Typeform integration connects your CRM workflows with Typeform's interactive form platform. This powerful connection allows you to automate processes between form submissions and your CRM, ensuring immediate data synchronization and workflow activation.

Key Benefits

  • Automatically capture and utilize Typeform responses within CRM workflows
  • Create personalized follow-up sequences, contact records, or notifications based on new submissions
  • Eliminate manual data entry by automating response processing tasks

Triggers and Actions

Triggers (Typeform → CRM)

These events in Typeform can initiate workflows in your CRM:

  • New Entry ⚡ Instant: Activates immediately when a new response is submitted through Typeform. This is a real-time trigger that captures submissions as they occur.

Actions (CRM → Typeform)

These actions can be executed in Typeform through your CRM workflows:

  • Create Empty Form: Generate a new blank form in Typeform
  • Duplicate Existing Form: Create a copy of an existing form while maintaining its structure and questions
  • Search Responses In A Form: Locate and retrieve existing responses from a specified Typeform form

Note: Some actions may be premium features subject to standard action pricing.
