Update form dropdown choices from incoming webhook payload

Automatically catch incoming webhook payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and parse choice lists with Code by Zapier. Create and update dropdown options when lists change in Typeformβ€”so you can keep form choices current, avoid duplicate options, and skip manual edits without manual dropdown updates.

How this automation keeps your form dropdown choices current

When incoming lists arrive in an unstructured format, dropdowns drift out of date and edits pile up. This automation catches webhook payloads, parses list items, and updates Typeform choicesβ€”so your team can publish accurate options fast.
