Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Form	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Typeform uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Typeform account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Typeform and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Typeform API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

offlineaccounts:readforms:writeforms:readimages:writeimages:readthemes:writethemes:readresponses:readresponses:writewebhooks:readwebhooks:writeworkspaces:readworkspaces:write

About Typeform#

Typeform lets you build no-code forms, quizzes, and surveys - and get more responses.

Checkvist Overview#

The Checkvist API allows for the creation and management of tasks and lists in a way that streamlines productivity and enhances organizational workflows. With the API, you can automate task updates, synchronize lists with other platforms, and trigger actions based on task completion. Utilizing Pipedream, these capabilities can be expanded by orchestrating complex workflows that connect Checkvist with a multitude of other apps and services, enabling seamless data flow and event-driven automation.
