Typeform makes it easy to build forms and surveys that help you collect everything from customer data to product insights for your business. But what do you do with that data after you collect it? You'll likely need to break that data down, analyze it, and send it to other apps so everyone in your team can get the information they need. 

Automation can make that process a breeze. With a few Zaps—our word for Zapier's automated workflows—you can automatically send form data to your CRM, get the right people involved, and streamline support. Here are the best ways to automate Typeform.

Send notifications for new Typeform responses

Manually checking for form responses isn't a great way for anyone to spend their time. But timely follow-up is important if you want to keep leads warm or customers happy. With one of these workflows you can notify the right members of your team about new form responses with a quick text, chat message, or email.

Send lead information to your ad tools

When you get a new lead you want to add them to your marketing campaigns immediately—while your business is top of mind. Plus, if a lead fails to convert, adding them to a retargeting campaign in a timely manner is a valuable way to recapture their interest. 

If you're leveraging high-converting ads tools like LinkedIn or Google Ads, you'll want to pair them with Typeform. That way, whenever a new lead fills out a form, you can get your campaigns in front of them while their interest in you is still fresh. These Zaps will transfer your lead data to your campaigns quickly and accurately:

Create calendar events and webinar registrants

If you're opening up time on your calendar for customer appointments, events, interviews, or demos, you'll likely send out a form for folks to book time. 

By adding a "date" field to your form, you can automatically create a detailed event in Google Calendar or Outlook when a new submission comes through. And, if you use Zoom to host webinars, you can also automatically create registrants from form submissions.
