Receive Slack Alerts for Each Typeform Submission

When someone submits your Typeform, this trigger activates the workflow and captures all response data including answers to every form question, submission timestamp, and respondent details (if collected). The captured data is available as {{typeform}} with nested properties for each form field.

Configuration: You must provide your Typeform's form ID during setup. To find your form ID, open the form in Typeform and look at the URL—the ID is the code after "/to/" or "/form/" (like "AbCd12EF"). Copy and paste this ID into the configuration. The workflow only monitors submissions for this specific form.

This step sends a Slack message to your configured channel with customizable content.

Configuration: You need to set up two things:
(1) Slack channel—select which channel receives the alerts (you must first invite the MESA Slack app to your channel by typing @MESA and clicking Invite; private channels won't appear in the dropdown until you invite MESA), and
(2) Message content—customize the markdown_text field to include the specific information you want from form submissions.

The default message is "New survey response received!" but you should customize it to include actual form data using variables like {{typeform.answers[0].text}} for text responses, {{typeform.answers[0].email}} for email fields, or other answer types. The message supports Markdown formatting for structure and emphasis.

Message customization examples:

Simple:
New lead: {{typeform.answers[0].email}}

Detailed:
New Contact Form Submission
Name: {{typeform.answers[0].text}}
Email: {{typeform.answers[1].email}}
Message: {{typeform.answers[2].text}}

With urgency:
🚨 Priority support request
From: {{typeform.answers[0].text}}
Issue: {{typeform.answers[1].text}}
