How to use the Typeform integration
🔌 Connect the Typeform integration and link to surveys from User Interviews
1. If you haven't already, connect your Typeform account to User Interviews by navigating to your Account settings and clicking on the "integrations" tab. From there, scroll down to find the Typeform integration, click "connect" and follow the prompts.
2. Once you’ve connected accounts, create a new unmoderated project in User Interviews. Navigate to Research Design > Research Activity.
3. Find the "task platform" section and click "edit." A drawer will open up with a list of tools you can connect. If you haven't already connected your account, you'll be able to do that here by clicking "connect Typeform account" and following the prompts.
4. If your Typeform account is connected, select Typeform and specify which task to link in the project builder. ⚠️ Important Note: When you're launching an unmoderated project using an integration, you must provide the task link to participants via the User Interviews platform. If you give the link to participants directly, they will not be tracked in UI.
1. Connect accounts: To get started, connect your User Interviews and Typeform accounts from the integrations page. To find the integrations page, click on your username at the bottom of the left navigation bar, click "Account settings" and then navigate to the integrations tab.
Note that accounts are connected at the individual user level, not at the team or organizational level.
2. Launch a project: Once you’ve connected accounts, create a new unmoderated project in User Interviews. Navigate to Research Design > Research Activity.
Find the "task platform" section and click "edit." A drawer will open up with a list of tools you can connect. If you haven't already connected your account, you'll be able to do that here by clicking "connect Typeform account" and following the prompts. If your Typeform account is connected, select Typeform and specify which task to link in the project builder.
⚠️ Important Note: When you're launching an unmoderated project using an integration, you must provide the task link to participants via the User Interviews platform. If you give the link to participants directly, they will not be tracked in UI.
And that’s it! Your survey has been successfully linked.
3. Set and forget: That’s all the set up you need to do! As participants complete your survey, the following information will be automatically tracked and displayed within the User Interviews dashboard. You can find it on the “Participant tracking” page under the Participant Management section.
- Link to all completed Typeform survey responses
- Start time
- Duration
- Status (not started / incomplete / complete)
This will make it much easier to identify which participants have completed the survey, and allow you to quickly review responses, mark completion, issue incentives, and wrap up your project.
Once you’ve collected your survey data, it’s easy to prepare for analysis. We’ve added a unique identifier for each participant on a project so it’s easy to combine your User Interviews participant data and Typeform data into one single dataset for analysis.
This unique identifier is a randomly generated set of numbers and letters that will show as an additional data column for both User Interview's participant export and Typeform data exports. These identifiers are key, allowing researchers to connect participant data across tools for analysis—and keep any PII data hidden, if necessary.
