2. Setting Up Typeform as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set Typeform as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose Typeform from the list of applications and select the trigger event as ‘New Entry’. This event triggers whenever a new submission is made on your Typeform.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize your Typeform account by clicking ‘Accept’.
• Select the specific Typeform you want to use for this integration.

After selecting the form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the data from a recent submission, which you can use in the next steps.

3. Configuring Slack as the Action Application

Next, you’ll configure Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Slack and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’. This action will send a message to a specified channel in Slack whenever a new Typeform submission occurs.

Click on ‘Connect’ to add a new connection to your Slack account. You will need to enter your Slack token, which you can find in your Slack API settings. After entering the token, click ‘Save’.

4. Mapping Data and Testing the Integration

In this crucial step, you will map the data from Typeform responses into your Slack message format. Craft your message using the details captured from the Typeform submission. For instance, you might write: ‘Dear Team, this is the information of a new candidate: [Name], [Phone Number], [Email].’ This format ensures that the necessary details are included in the Slack notification.

• Select the fields from the Typeform response to map into your message.
• Make sure to include all relevant fields such as Name, Phone Number, and Email.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

After testing, check your Slack channel to confirm the message appears as intended. This verifies that Pabbly Connect has successfully integrated Typeform with Slack.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Repeating the Process

Once you’ve confirmed that the integration works, you can finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This means you can now close the integration setup. You can also repeat the process for other forms or channels as needed.

To ensure everything is functioning, submit another entry on your Typeform. Check your Slack channel to see if the new submission triggers the message as expected. This will help you confirm that the automation is working perfectly.
