Step-by-Step Setup Guide
This guide will walk you through the initial installation and setup of your first automation recipe.
Install the App
• Go to the monday.com Apps Marketplace.
• Search for Typeform Integration Plus.
• Click "Install" and select the workspaces you wish to install it on.
• You will be prompted to grant the necessary permissions for the app to function. This is a one-time authorization for monday.com.
Prepare Your monday.com Board
• Create the necessary columns on your monday.com board that will receive the Typeform data.
For Subitems: If you plan to create subitems, you must first manually create at least one subitem in your board and set up the necessary columns for it. The integration cannot create the first subitem or subitem columns automatically.
Access the Automation Recipes
• On the board where you installed the app, click the "Integrate" button at the top of the screen.
• In the Integrations Center, search for Typeform Integration Plus.
• You will see a list of available automation recipes. Choose the one that best fits your workflow.
Connect to Typeform
• When you select a recipe for the first time, you will need to connect your Typeform account.
• Click on the Account field in the recipe sentence.
• A prompt will appear to authenticate with Typeform. Log in and authorize the connection.
• You can connect multiple Typeform accounts and choose the correct one from the Account dropdown for each recipe you build.
Configure Your Recipe
Trigger (The "When" part):
• Once an account is selected, click the Form ID field to see a dropdown list of all forms in that Typeform account.
• If you chose a conditional recipe, additional fields like Question, Condition, and Answer will appear.
Action (The "Then" part):
• Choose whether to create an Item/Subitem.
• Select the target Group/Item where the new entry will be created.
• Click on Typeform Data to open the mapping interface.
Item Naming: Any Typeform field can be mapped to the monday.com item name. If the mapped field is empty in a submission, the item will be named "Typeform response - [current date]" automatically.
Activate the Automation
• Review your configured recipe sentence to ensure it's correct.
• Click the blue "Create Automation" button to save and activate the automation.
• Your integration is now live!
Automation Recipe Setup Guides
Here is a detailed breakdown of each recipe and its specific use case.
Recipe Types
Basic Form Integration
Use this recipe when you want every single submission from a specific form to create a new item or subitem in monday.com, without any exceptions.
Recipe Structure:
From {Account}, when a new entry in {Form} is received, create an {Item/Subitem} in this {Group/Item} with this {Typeform Data}Configuration Steps:
Data Mapping
Our integration provides comprehensive data mapping capabilities with intelligent data transformation.
Successful Mappings
Fallback Behavior
Priority: We always prioritize item creation over perfect data mapping.
How Data Mapping Works
Analyze Data
We analyze the Typeform response data type and format
Transform
Intelligent transformation to match monday.com column requirements
Create Item
Create the item/subitem, leaving incompatible fields empty if needed
Best Practices
- • Set up your monday.com columns before configuring the integration
- • For subitems, create at least one mock subitem to ensure column visibility
- • Match data types when possible (text to text, number to number, etc.)
- • Any field type can be mapped to item names - text, numbers, calculated scores, or ratings all work
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions to help you get up and running quickly.
Common Issues & Solutions
No available options during setup
Issue: Dropdown fields appear empty or show no selectable options when configuring the recipe. This happens when you try to configure dependent fields before setting up their prerequisites.
Solution: Configure fields in the correct dependency order:
- • First: Connect Typeform account → Select form → Choose questions
- • Then: Configure answer conditions → Select monday.com group/item
- • Finally: Choose item/subitem options → Set up data mapping
Failed to load fields during subitem creation setup
Issue: Your current board has no existing subitems. The integration needs to read your subitems board columns, but it's not possible when there is not a subitem.
Solution: Create at least one subitem manually and add the desired columns before setting up the recipe.
Items created have some monday.com columns empty
Issue: The user left some fields empty or there is data type mismatch between Typeform response and monday.com column.
Solution: This is expected behavior. Items are still created with valid data:
- • Make important fields required in your Typeform, so they cannot be left empty
- • Use mapping with compatible fields
Items created with generic names like "Typeform response - 2025-01-15"
Issue: The field you mapped to the item name is empty in user responses.
Solution: This is normal fallback behavior when mapped name fields are empty:
- • Check if the mapped field is required in your Typeform, so users cannot leave it empty
- • Consider mapping a different field that users are more likely to fill
- • Or accept the automatic naming - items are still created successfully
