A common use of Typeform software is to allow customers or prospects to ask you questions. If they do that often enough, you'll need a way to manage and respond to those individuals. The Typeform-Document360 integration makes that easy.

Use Case

You can have new Typeform entries automatically create new knowledge base articles for sharing information about your prospects. Yes, it can be done manually, but it takes more effort, is time-consuming, and the probability of the mishap is high.

Currently, there is no direct integration option available between Typeform and Document360 from either of the platforms.


How will you integrate Typeform and Document360?

As a workaround, you can use the Zapier integration to bridge this gap. By connecting Typeform and Document360 on Zapier, you can easily facilitate the content flow between these platforms.

Ensure that you have logged into your Zapier account.

  1. Click Create > Zaps.

  2. Zap is created with Trigger and Action flow in it.
