What you can automate

What can the Typeform Make integration do for you?

The Typeform Make integration links your Typeform account to Make, a visual tool where you chain apps together without code. Each automation you build there is called a scenario. Once connected, a new response, an uploaded file or a form can start that scenario or be changed by it, and you never copy an answer by hand again.

Leads followed up the moment they arrive. The instant Watch Responses trigger receives each submission as soon as it happens. A sales team can push a demo request into its CRM or a shared sheet, for example through the Airtable Make integration, before anyone opens the Typeform dashboard.

Uploaded documents filed without downloads. A recruiter who collects resumes through a form adds Get a Response File after the trigger, and each candidate file travels to storage along with the applicant's answers.

Forms that manage themselves. Create a Form, Update a Form and Delete a Form let a training provider open a registration form for every new session and remove it once the session is over. List Images and Create an Image keep the visuals in the account under control.

What the app does not cover: the module list stops at responses, forms, webhooks and images. Anything else in the Typeform API goes through Make an API Call, with the same connection. Typeform also has an n8n node; if you are weighing both tools, the Typeform n8n integration page shows the other side. To learn the Make editor step by step, the Make training starts from zero.

Connect

How do you connect your Typeform account to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Typeform module

    In your scenario, search for Typeform and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your Typeform account linked to Make once, and every Typeform module reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name it and choose the region

    Give the connection a name in Connection name if you plan to link several accounts, so you can tell them apart. In the Region field, select the region where your Typeform account lives.

  3. 03

    Save and approve access

    Click Save. If Typeform opens a window asking you to sign in, log in with the account that owns the forms and confirm the access Make requests. The connection then appears in the module, ready to use.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Typeform

GoalWhen someone submits a form with a file upload in Typeform, Make receives the response and fetches the uploaded file.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page in Make, create a new scenario and click the big + in the middle of the canvas. That circle is where your first module goes.

  2. 02

    Add the instant trigger

    Search for Typeform and choose Watch Responses with the lightning badge. Click Create a webhook, then Create a connection and link your account as shown above.

  3. 03

    Pick the form to watch

    Once the connection exists, Make lists the forms it can read. Choose the one that asks for a file, such as an application form where candidates upload a resume.

  4. 04

    Add Get a Response File

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Get a Response File. Map the data it needs from the response that the trigger passes along, instead of typing anything by hand.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test answer with a file in your form. Each module shows a bubble: open it to read the bundle it received, meaning the response and then the file.

  6. 06

    Switch it on

    When the test looks right, switch the scenario on. From now on each new response runs it, and you can add a module after Get a Response File to store the document where your team works.

Triggers

What can start a Typeform scenario?

3 modules start a scenario when something happens in Typeform. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Typeform as soon as it happens.

Typeform1Watch Responses

Watch Responses

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new response is submitted.”

This Watch Responses starts your scenario with the new submissions of the form you pick, and hands each response to the next module as its own bundle, meaning one item that flows through the scenario.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks Typeform on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan never allows a shorter gap than 15 minutes.
When to use it
a satisfaction survey whose answers feed a shared report, where nobody needs them the second they arrive.
Watch out
if a lead must be called back fast, the wait until the next check hurts; take the instant Watch Responses instead.
Typeform2Watch Reponses (Instant)

Watch Reponses (Instant)

triggerIn the docs only

Watch Reponses (Instant) is a third response trigger that appears only in the Typeform documentation for Make, with that spelling, and without any official description of what sets it apart.

How it fires
the module listing marks it as scheduled, so Make checks Typeform on the scenario's schedule. Its name says Instant, though: once it sits in your scenario, read its badge, a clock for scheduled or a lightning bolt for instant.
When to use it
only when neither Watch Responses module fits your form, and after a test run has shown what it returns.
Watch out
with no description to rely on, click Run once and read the bundles before you build anything on top of it.
Typeform3Watch Responses

Watch Responses

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new response is submitted.”

With the instant Watch Responses, a scenario runs on every submission right away, which makes it the natural start for anything a person is waiting on after filling in your form.

How it fires
instant. Typeform calls Make through a webhook as soon as a response is submitted, so there is no schedule to wait for.
When to use it
a quote request or demo booking form, where the sales team wants each lead in its tools without delay.
Watch out
two modules share the name Watch Responses in the list. Pick the one with the lightning badge, and click Create a webhook before Create a connection.
Modules

What else can Make do in Typeform?

Typeform gives you 13 modules in 5 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Responses

2 modules
Typeform1

Get a Response File

Action

In Make“Retrieves a file uploaded as an answer for a submission.”

Get a Response File brings the actual file a respondent uploaded as an answer into your scenario, so the next module can store it, attach it or forward it.

When to use it
an application form that collects resumes or portfolios, right after a Watch Responses trigger, to file each document next to the candidate's details.
Watch out
the Free plan of Make handles files up to 5 MB, so heavy uploads may need a paid plan.
Typeform2

List Responses

Search

In Make“Retrieves a list of responses.”

Need answers that came in before your scenario existed? List Responses fetches responses already stored in a form and returns them as separate bundles.

When to use it
catching up on a form that has been live for a while, or rebuilding a report from past submissions.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many bundles, and every module after it runs once per bundle, each run counting as an operation on your plan.

Forms

5 modules
Typeform3

Create a Form

Action

In Make“Creates a form.”

Create a Form builds a new form in your Typeform account from the scenario, which spares you from duplicating the same form by hand for each event or client.

When to use it
a training provider schedules a new session in its planning tool and wants a registration form ready for it at once.
Watch out
open the new form in Typeform and check it before you share the link with anyone.
Typeform4

Get a Form

Action

In Make“Gets a form.”

Get a Form reads one existing form from your account and passes its content to the next modules, so they can reuse it or compare it with what you plan to change.

When to use it
just before Update a Form, because that module needs every field the form already has in its request.
Watch out
it reads one form at a time. If you do not know which one, run List Forms before it and pick from the list.
Typeform5

Update a Form

Action

In Make“Updates an existing form. Your request body must include all the existing form fields. Overwrites the previously stored form with the given form_ID. Any new fields in your request will be added to the form. Likewise, any fields you don't include in your request will be deleted from the form. Make sure your PUT request contains every field you want to include in your updated form.”

Update a Form replaces an existing form with the version your scenario sends, which lets you adjust questions or settings without opening the Typeform builder.

When to use it
adding a new option to a product question when a new item joins your catalogue.
Watch out
the request must contain every field you want to keep, since any field left out is deleted from the form. Start with Get a Form and map its content back in.
Typeform6

Delete a Form

Action

In Make“Deletes a form.”

Delete a Form removes a form from your Typeform account, which keeps the workspace clean once an event, a campaign or a hiring round is over.

When to use it
closing a registration form when the matching session is marked as finished elsewhere.
Watch out
there is no undo from Make. Save the answers you still need with List Responses in an earlier step.
Typeform7

List Forms

Search

In Make“Retrieves a list of forms.”

List Forms gives you an inventory of the forms in your account, each one as its own bundle, ready to be logged or processed one at a time.

When to use it
auditing an account that has piled up forms over the years and writing their names into a spreadsheet for review.
Watch out
every module placed after it runs once for each form found, so a large account quickly adds operations.

Webhooks

2 modules
Typeform8

Create/Update a Webhook

Action

In Make“Creates or updates a webhook.”

Create/Update a Webhook tells Typeform to send the responses of a form to an address you choose, or changes a webhook that already exists on that form.

When to use it
setting up the same response routing on forms you just generated with Create a Form, without clicking through each one.
Watch out
for a scenario that simply reacts to new answers, the instant Watch Responses trigger is the shorter path.
Typeform9

Delete a Webhook

Action

In Make“Removes a webhook from a form.”

Delete a Webhook detaches a webhook from a form, so Typeform stops sending that form's responses to the address it pointed to.

When to use it
retiring an old integration that still receives answers, or cleaning up after a form has served its purpose.
Watch out
check which webhook you remove first, because a scenario that relied on it may stop receiving responses.

Images

3 modules
Typeform10

Create an Image

Action

In Make“Adds an image in your Typeform account.”

Create an Image adds a picture to your Typeform account from the scenario, so your forms can use it without anyone uploading it manually.

When to use it
a new product photo arrives in your catalogue and should appear in the matching feedback form.
Watch out
the Free plan of Make stops at files of 5 MB, so compress large visuals before this step.
Typeform11

Delete an Image

Action

In Make“Deletes an image from your Typeform account.”

With Delete an Image, a picture stored in your Typeform account disappears, which keeps the library down to the visuals your forms still use.

When to use it
a product is discontinued and its photos have no reason to stay in the account.
Watch out
run List Images first to target the right picture, since a deletion made from Make cannot be taken back.
Typeform12

List Images

Search

In Make“Retrieves a list of JSON descriptions for all images in your Typeform account.”

List Images returns a short technical description of every image in your Typeform account, one bundle per image, which is how you find the one another module should act on.

When to use it
before Delete an Image, or to keep an inventory of your visuals in a sheet.
Watch out
you get descriptions of the images, so plan the next module around that data.

Other

1 module
Typeform13

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call to manage data in Typeform.”

Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Typeform API with the connection you already set up, which covers what the other fifteen modules leave out.

When to use it
you need a Typeform action that has no dedicated module in the list above.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Typeform API documentation open next to the module while you fill it in.

FAQ

Questions about the Typeform Make integration

01Is the Typeform Make integration free?
Yes, Typeform is a standard app in Make, so it works on the Free plan. That plan has its own limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes per execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes per execution. Usage is counted in operations each month. You still need your own Typeform account, whose plan is a separate matter.
02What do you need to connect Typeform to Make?
A Typeform account and a Make account. In any Typeform module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, select your account region in the Region field and click Save. If Typeform asks you to sign in, confirm the access. With the instant Watch Responses, click Create a webhook first. Advanced settings stay optional: they let you enter your own Typeform client credentials, with the Redirect URI given in the Make documentation.
03Does the Typeform trigger in Make work in real time?
It depends on the module you pick. The Watch Responses with the lightning badge is instant: Typeform calls Make through a webhook as soon as a response is submitted. The other Watch Responses is scheduled: Make checks Typeform on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and no more often than every 15 minutes on the Free plan. A third trigger, Watch Reponses (Instant), is listed as scheduled without a description, so check its badge in the editor.
04What if a Typeform module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Typeform API with the connection you already created, so actions outside the 16 listed modules stay possible. You write the request yourself, which asks for a look at the Typeform API reference. The Make documentation gives no numeric limit for this app. If a problem comes from elsewhere in your scenario, read the bundles after a Run once to see which module received what.
05Should you automate Typeform with Make or n8n?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. Typeform exists on both sides: in Make, the app offers 16 modules, including an instant response trigger, file retrieval and form management, with a guided connection. n8n has its own Typeform node, covered on a separate page of this site. The fair criterion is which editor your team will maintain, and whether the modules you need exist there. Compare the module lists on both pages before choosing.
