Typeform webhook setup with Webhookify

Typeform is a leading form builder platform known for its conversational, one-question-at-a-time interface that dramatically improves completion rates. Businesses use Typeform for lead generation forms, customer surveys, job applications, event registrations, and feedback collection. Every form submission represents a potential lead, customer insight, or action item that teams need to respond to quickly. While Typeform offers email notifications and integrations, they can be delayed and lack the flexibility of instant multi-channel delivery. Webhookify transforms Typeform submission events into instant, AI-summarized notifications delivered to Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or your mobile device, so your team can act on every response the moment it comes in.

This guide walks you through connecting Typeform webhooks to Webhookify step by step. Whether you are collecting leads, running surveys, or processing applications, you will be set up in under 15 minutes with zero code required.

Why Monitor Typeform Webhooks with Webhookify?

  • Instant Lead Capture: Know immediately when a potential customer fills out your contact or demo request form. Webhookify delivers AI-summarized notifications with the respondent's key answers, so your sales team can follow up within minutes instead of hours.

  • Survey Response Monitoring: Track survey submissions in real time. Instead of waiting to log into Typeform to check results, receive an instant notification for each response with a summary of the key answers, helping you spot trends and feedback as they come in.

  • Application Processing: For job applications, event registrations, or service requests, instant notifications ensure your team can begin processing immediately. Reduce response times and improve the applicant or customer experience.

  • Multi-Form Oversight: If you run multiple Typeforms for different campaigns or purposes, Webhookify consolidates all submissions into your preferred notification channels. Route different forms to different channels for organized monitoring.

  • AI-Powered Summaries: Instead of raw JSON with field references and answer arrays, Webhookify uses AI to generate human-readable summaries. A form submission becomes "New lead: Sarah Chen from Acme Corp (50-200 employees), interested in Enterprise plan, preferred contact: email" rather than a complex payload of answer objects.

Prerequisites

  1. A Typeform account with at least one published form
  2. A Webhookify account (sign up free at webhookify.app)
  3. At least one notification channel configured in Webhookify (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or mobile push)
  4. Typeform Basic plan or higher (webhooks require a paid Typeform plan)

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1

Create a Webhookify Endpoint

Log into your Webhookify dashboard at webhookify.app. Click "Create Endpoint" to generate a unique webhook URL:

https://hook.webhookify.app/wh/tf_pqr456stu789

Copy this URL. Name the endpoint descriptively, such as "Typeform - Contact Form" or "Typeform - NPS Survey." If you want separate notification rules for different forms, create a separate endpoint for each Typeform.

2

Configure Your Notification Channel

Set up your preferred notification channels in the Webhookify settings before connecting Typeform.

For Telegram: Connect the Webhookify bot and select a chat or group. Sales teams often create a "New Leads" group specifically for form submission alerts.

For Discord: Authorize the bot and choose a channel like #form-submissions or #leads in your Discord server.

For Slack: Complete the OAuth flow and select a channel. Teams commonly use channels like #typeform-submissions, #new-leads, or #survey-responses.

For Email: Add individual or team email addresses. This creates a secondary notification alongside Typeform's built-in email notifications with the added benefit of AI summaries.

For Mobile Push: Install the Webhookify app on your phone, sign in, and enable push notifications. This is ideal for solo founders or sales professionals who want to respond to leads immediately from anywhere.

Add Your Webhookify URL in Typeform

Open your Typeform in the form editor:

  1. Click on the Connect tab in the top navigation
  2. Select Webhooks from the integrations panel
  3. Click "Add a webhook"
  4. Paste your Webhookify endpoint URL in the URL field
  5. Toggle the webhook to On

Typeform will now send a POST request to your Webhookify endpoint every time someone completes and submits the form.

Optional: Secret Key You can add a secret key for webhook signature verification. Typeform signs each webhook payload with an HMAC SHA-256 signature in the Typeform-Signature header. Webhookify logs all headers, so you can reference this for verification.

To add a secret:

  1. Click the Secret toggle next to your webhook URL
  2. Enter a random string as your secret
  3. Save the configuration
4

Configure Form Response Filtering

Typeform webhooks fire on every form submission by default. The webhook payload includes:

Response Data:

  • All answers to every question in the form
  • Hidden fields (values passed via URL parameters)
  • Calculated fields and scores
  • Landing and submission timestamps
  • Response token (unique identifier)

Metadata:

  • Respondent's platform (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Browser information
  • Network ID
  • Source URL (the page where the form was embedded)

While Typeform does not offer native event filtering for webhooks (every completed submission triggers a webhook), you can use Logic Jumps in your form to route different respondents to different endings, and set up separate webhooks for different use cases.

For Typeform forms with a Score or Calculator feature, the calculated result is included in the webhook payload. This is particularly useful for lead scoring forms where you want different notification routing based on the score.

5

Test Your Configuration

After enabling the webhook, submit a test response to verify everything works:

  1. Click "Preview" in the Typeform editor to open your form
  2. Fill out the form with test data and submit it
  3. Check your Webhookify dashboard for the incoming form_response event
  4. Verify the notification arrived on your configured channel

You can also use Typeform's webhook testing feature:

  1. Go to the Connect > Webhooks section
  2. Click "View deliveries" next to your webhook URL
  3. Check the delivery status and response code

A 200 response code confirms Webhookify received the webhook successfully. If you see the event in the Webhookify dashboard but did not receive a notification, check your notification channel configuration.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Sales Lead Response: A B2B SaaS company uses a Typeform "Request a Demo" form on their website. When a prospect submits the form, the sales team receives an instant Slack notification with the prospect's name, company, team size, and use case. The assigned sales rep calls within 5 minutes. This rapid response increased their demo-to-close conversion rate by 35%.

  • Customer Feedback Loop: A product team embeds an NPS survey Typeform in their app. When a user submits a response, the product manager receives a Telegram notification with the NPS score and verbatim feedback. Detractors (scores 0-6) trigger an immediate alert to the customer success team for proactive outreach, while promoters (scores 9-10) get flagged for testimonial requests.

  • Event Registration Tracking: An event organizer uses Typeform for conference registration. Each registration triggers a Discord notification in the team's #event-planning channel with the attendee's name, company, dietary requirements, and session preferences. The team tracks registrations in real time and can plan logistics on the fly without checking Typeform.

  • Job Application Processing: A growing startup uses Typeform for job applications. When a candidate submits their application, the hiring manager receives a mobile push notification with the candidate's name, role applied for, experience summary, and portfolio link. Applications that include specific keywords (captured through hidden fields) trigger high-priority alerts, ensuring top candidates are reviewed immediately.

Troubleshooting

  1. Webhook toggle keeps turning off: Typeform automatically disables webhooks that return error responses repeatedly. Check your Webhookify endpoint URL for typos. If the URL is correct but the webhook was disabled, simply toggle it back on in the Connect > Webhooks panel.

  2. Test submissions work but real submissions do not: Ensure the form is published and accessible to respondents. Draft or unpublished forms may behave differently. Also check that the respondent completed the entire form, as Typeform only fires webhooks for fully completed submissions (not partial responses).

  3. Missing answers in the webhook payload: Typeform only includes answers to questions the respondent actually saw and answered. If your form uses Logic Jumps, respondents who take different paths will have different answer sets. Skipped questions are not included in the payload.

  4. Webhook delivery is delayed: Typeform typically delivers webhooks within 1-5 seconds of form submission. If you experience consistent delays, check the Typeform status page for any platform issues. Also verify that your form does not have a "Thank You" screen redirect that might interfere with the webhook timing.

  5. Hidden fields not appearing in the payload: Hidden fields must be configured in your Typeform settings and passed via URL parameters when the form is loaded. If the hidden field has no value (empty URL parameter), it may not appear in the webhook payload. Test by appending ?hidden_field=test_value to your form URL.

Use Typeform's hidden fields feature to enrich your Webhookify notifications with context that is not in the form itself. Pass the referral source, campaign ID, or user ID as hidden fields in the form URL (e.g., ?utm_source=google&plan=enterprise). These values appear in the webhook payload and Webhookify's AI summary, giving your team immediate context about where the lead came from and what they are interested in.
