When Sendgrid and Typeform operate independently, valuable form submission data often gets lost. For example, when a user submits a Typeform with their email address and preferences, that data must be manually entered into Sendgrid for email campaigns. This manual entry not only consumes hours of the marketing team's time each week but also increases the risk of human error, such as typos in email addresses, leading to undelivered messages and missed engagement opportunities.

Top Ways to Automate SendGrid & Typeform

  • Automated Lead Capture: Instantly transfer new Typeform submissions to SendGrid, ensuring that every lead is captured and followed up with in real-time, enhancing your response rate and customer engagement.
  • Personalized Email Campaigns: Automatically segment Typeform responses in SendGrid to create targeted email campaigns based on user preferences, improving open rates and conversion metrics.
  • Streamlined Feedback Loop: Collect feedback through Typeform and automatically trigger follow-up emails via SendGrid, ensuring that your customers feel heard and valued, while also gathering insights for continuous improvement.

How to Build the SendGrid → Typeform Sync

  1. In your Sendgrid account, navigate to the Webhooks section and configure a Standard Webhook to listen for the 'form_submission' event from Typeform.
  2. Set the webhook URL to your server endpoint that will handle incoming requests, e.g., https://yourserver.com/api/sendgrid-webhook.
  3. In your server code, parse the incoming JSON payload to extract relevant data such as email, name, and preferences from the Sendgrid webhook.
  4. Use the Typeform REST API to insert the extracted data into Typeform. Make a POST request to https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}/responses.
  5. Ensure your POST request includes the required headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TYPEFORM_API_KEY and Content-Type: application/json.
  6. Format the body of your POST request to include the extracted data in the Typeform response structure, ensuring to map fields correctly.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the email address extracted from the Sendgrid payload is validated before sending it to Typeform, as Typeform may reject invalid email formats.
  • Be cautious with the mapping of preferences; if the Typeform expects an array and the Sendgrid payload sends a string, this will cause a data mismatch error.
  • When parsing the JSON from Sendgrid, confirm that the payload structure has not changed, as any alterations could lead to missing fields in your Typeform submission.
