Typeform: App of the day

Most people associate forms with unpleasant experiences like going to the dentist. However, compared to filling out a root canal waiver, creating a form in Typeform is actually enjoyable. Its easy-to-use drag-and-drop editor makes it feel more like outlining your thoughts than creating a form.

With Typeform, you can create stunning, engaging forms that feel more like fun than work. You can add still images, GIFs, or full-on videos to include extra content. A pro account allows you to build logic flows that direct people to different questions or content based on previous answers. You can even use calculations along with your form fields to, say, add up the total price of an order.

It's when someone fills out your form, however, that Typeform really shines. Its UX displays questions one at a time, with fairly large text and buttons, making forms much easier to complete.

From there, it's easy to find and analyze your form's results. You can view a spreadsheet-style list of all your form responses or view the data question by question. Typeform also makes it simple to do basic analysis, like determining how often it was filled out on mobile or which answers were more popular.

Typeform's a great way to both build and fill out forms. Now, if only your dentist would start using it.

You can automate your forms and surveys with Zapier's Typeform integrations. Here are a few popular workflows to get you started.

Collect new Typeform responses as rows on Google Sheets

    Forms are great at capturing user information, but exporting their results takes time. Zapier can help you analyze those entries in a spreadsheet automatically with this integration. Once you set it up, it will catch every new entry you receive on a Typeform, saving the results to a new row on Google Sheets so you don't have to do it yourself.

    Get email notifications or send follow-ups to new Typeform respondents

    • Typeform logo
    • Gmail logo
    Typeform + Gmail
    More details
      After someone fills out a form on your site, you often want to receive an email notification or send a follow-up email to the individual who completed the form. This Zapier automation handles both gracefully, sending an email (customizable)—either to you or the form respondent—when a new form entry is submitted.

      Create Mailchimp subscribers from new Typeform responses

      • Typeform logo
      • Mailchimp logo
      Typeform + Mailchimp
      More details
        When people fill out forms on your site, you'll want to maintain communications with them in the future. A good email list with a service like Mailchimp makes this simple. And this integration is a breeze for just this sort of situation. Set it up to automatically generate a Mailchimp subscriber from the details of each new Typeform response.

        Create Trello cards from new Typeform responses

        • Typeform logo
        • Trello logo
        Typeform + Trello
        More details
          If you're collecting data via form software like Typeform, often you want to create follow-up items. This Typeform-Trello integration automatically creates new Trello cards when someone completes your Typeform form.

          Get Slack notifications for new Typeform entries

          • Typeform logo
          • Slack logo
          Typeform + Slack
          More details
            The best way to keep your team in the loop is to bring updates where they spend most time. Once active, this integration will automatically post messages to Slack whenever you get a new response on Typeform. Just choose what information you want to post from the response during setup, and we'll take care of the rest!
