Typeform to monday.com without Zapier: options compared

By Jefferson Huera Guzman Updated 4 min read

You can send Typeform responses to monday.com without Zapier by using monday.com's built-in Typeform integration or a marketplace app such as Typeform Integration Plus, which both run inside monday.com's automations, or another workflow tool such as Make. The built-in integration doesn't map multiple choice answers, so teams that need them, conditional routing or updates to existing items usually pick Typeform Integration Plus or Make.

The first column comes from monday.com’s Typeform integration article. Zapier and Make change their connectors and plans often, so check their current pages.

With a workflow tool, every event passes through steps you build and maintain:

  1. Typeform response
  2. Zapier or Make
  3. Your Zap's steps
  4. Your board

With a monday.com app, the automation lives on the board:

  1. Typeform response
  2. Typeform Integration Plus
  3. Your board

monday.com’s built-in Typeform integration

The built-in integration lives in monday.com’s Automation Center, like other monday.com integrations. You connect Typeform, pick a form and map its fields to columns. It needs no extra subscription.

Its limits matter for most forms. monday.com’s article lists multiple choice, logic jumps, statements, question groups, hidden fields, video, payment and ranking questions as not supported. With partial submissions on, only the first submission reaches monday.com.

It’s a good fit for simple forms with text, email, number and date questions.

Zapier or Make

A workflow tool reads each Typeform response and runs the steps you build: create an item, look one up, filter, branch or send the data to other apps too. It’s a good fit when the response feeds several tools at once.

The trade-off is a second subscription and a second place to maintain. Every step that runs counts toward that tool’s plan, and someone has to update the workflow there when a column or a question changes.

Typeform Integration Plus

Typeform Integration Plus is a monday.com marketplace app. It runs inside monday.com’s Automation Center, with 9 templates written as monday.com sentences:

From Account, when a new entry in Form is received and only if the answer to Question is Answer create an Item/Subitem in this Group/Item with this Typeform Data

  • Most question types. Multiple choice, dropdown, picture choice, contact info, address and question groups are all mapped. Each answer is converted to the format its column needs.
  • Conditions built in. Create an item only for a quiz score, a successful payment, a specific answer, or a number or text comparison.
  • Updates instead of duplicates. Find the item whose column matches an answer, such as an email, and update it. Create a new item when nothing matches, or add a subitem to the match.
  • Embedding. Show a Typeform in an item view or on a dashboard.
  • Custom automations. Its trigger works in custom automations and in monday Workflows.

What it doesn’t do: it can’t read file upload questions or hidden fields, and it doesn’t import past responses.

Which one to pick

  • Simple form with text, email and number questions: monday.com’s built-in integration.
  • Choice questions, routing by answer, or one item per person: Typeform Integration Plus.
  • The response also goes to other apps, or you rely on hidden fields: Zapier or Make.

What to compare on cost

  1. Subscriptions. The built-in integration adds none. Typeform Integration Plus has its own plan, billed through monday.com. Zapier and Make have theirs.
  2. How usage is counted. Typeform Integration Plus counts one run per response that creates or updates items through a template. Responses a condition skips don’t count. Workflow tools count the steps they run.
  3. Upkeep. A workflow outside monday.com has to be fixed there when the form or board changes.

Plans are on the Typeform Integration Plus pricing page. For setup and everything else the app does, read the Typeform monday.com integration guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is monday.com's built-in Typeform integration free?

It comes with monday.com, so there's no separate app to buy. monday.com's support article lists which Typeform questions it supports, and multiple choice isn't one of them.

Does Typeform Integration Plus support multiple choice questions?

Yes. Multiple choice, dropdown and picture choice answers are sent as their labels, so they fit Status, Dropdown, Tags and Text columns. With several selections, all selected labels are sent. Read more →

Which option handles hidden fields?

Neither monday.com's built-in integration nor Typeform Integration Plus maps Typeform hidden fields today. If your workflow depends on them, check whether your Zapier or Make trigger includes them.

Can I switch from Zapier without losing responses?

Build the new automation first, submit a test response, then turn the Zap off. Only responses submitted after an automation exists reach monday.com, so keep the Zap on until the replacement works.
