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.
Workaround
As a workaround, you can use 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.
