A step-by-step guide to triggering Zaplane workflows from Typeform submissions.
This guide walks you through connecting Typeform to Zaplane and adding a trigger to a workflow, so your workflow runs automatically whenever someone submits one of your Typeform forms. Unlike WordPress-native apps, Typeform needs a Personal Access Token and a webhook to be set up first. Let’s go through the process step by step.
Step 1: Get Your Typeform Personal Access Token
- In your Typeform account, click your profile icon in the top right, then select Account settings.
- Go to Personal tokens in the left menu, then click Generate a new token.
- Give the token a name, choose a scope (All scopes is simplest), then click Generate token.
- Copy the token. Typeform only shows it once, so keep it somewhere safe.
Step 2: Create a Connection in Zaplane
- Go to Zaplane > Connections, then click Create credential.
- Select Typeform from the app list.
- Paste your Personal Access Token, then click Save Connection.
Step 3: Create a Workflow
- Go to Zaplane > Workflows, then click Create Workflow.
Step 4: Add a Typeform Trigger
- Inside the workflow editor, click Select an app under the Trigger box, then choose Apps.
- Search for and select Typeform, then click Continue.
Step 5: Choose the Trigger Type and Connection
- On the Select tab, open the Trigger Type dropdown and choose the event you want (for example, “Form Submitted”). Under Select Connection, choose the Typeform connection you created in Step 2, then click Continue.
Step 6: Configure the Trigger
- On the Configure tab, select the Form you want to watch, then copy the generated Webhook Endpoint URL.
- Go to your Typeform Dashboard, open the form, then go to Connect > Webhooks, add a webhook, paste the URL, and save. Then click Continue back in Zaplane.
Step 7: Test and Activate the Workflow
- On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to confirm it’s picking up the Typeform submission correctly, then click Save.
- Finally, toggle the workflow to Active and click Update to publish it.
You’re all set
Typeform is now connected to Zaplane. Your workflow will run automatically every time someone submits the selected form.
