Automate Surveys and Forms with the Typeform Skill: Create, Manage, and Analyze Forms from Your AI Agent

Ever wished your AI agent could create surveys on the fly, collect feedback automatically, or analyze form responses without you lifting a finger? The Typeform skill makes this possible by connecting Clawdbot directly to the Typeform API through managed OAuthβ€”no complex authentication setup required.

Who Needs This?

If you're building workflows that involve:

  • Customer feedback collection β€” automatically create post-purchase surveys
  • Lead qualification forms β€” programmatically generate intake forms for sales
  • Event registrations β€” spin up signup forms on demand
  • Research surveys β€” create and analyze questionnaires at scale
  • Internal tools β€” build dynamic forms for team workflows

Then this skill is for you. It eliminates the back-and-forth between your AI agent and Typeform's web interface.

Installation

Getting started takes just one command:

```bash npx clawhub@latest install typeform ```

The skill requires a Maton API key for OAuth authentication. Get yours at maton.ai/settings.

Configuration

Set your environment variable:

```bash export MATON_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" ```

Then connect your Typeform account. The skill uses Maton's OAuth gateway, so you'll need to create a connection once:

```python python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'typeform'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

This returns a URLβ€”open it in your browser to authorize Typeform, and you're set.

Usage Examples

1. Create a Customer Feedback Survey

Ask your agent: "Create a quick feedback form asking for name, email, and satisfaction rating"

Behind the scenes, the skill hits:

```bash POST https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms Content-Type: application/json

{ "title": "Customer Feedback", "fields": [ {"type": "short_text", "title": "What is your name?"}, {"type": "email", "title": "What is your email?"}, {"type": "rating", "title": "How satisfied are you with our service?"} ] } ```

2. Analyze Form Responses

Get all completed responses for a form:

```bash GET https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms/{formId}/responses?completed=true&page_size=50 ```

Filter by date range:

```bash GET https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms/{formId}/responses?since=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z&until=2026-02-18T23:59:59Z ```

3. Quick Response Summary

Pull insights for aggregate stats:

```bash GET https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/insights/{formId}/summary ```

This gives you completion rates, average scores, and field-by-field breakdowns without parsing individual responses.

Available Field Types

When creating forms programmatically, you have 10 field types at your disposal:

  • `short_text` β€” Single line input
  • `long_text` β€” Multi-line paragraphs
  • `email` β€” Email validation built-in
  • `number` β€” Numeric input
  • `rating` β€” Star ratings
  • `opinion_scale` β€” 0-10 NPS-style scale
  • `multiple_choice` β€” Single or multi-select options
  • `yes_no` β€” Boolean questions
  • `date` β€” Date picker
  • `dropdown` β€” Selection menus

Pro Tips

  1. Use `curl -g` for bracket URLs β€” When testing endpoints with `fields[]` or `sort[]` parameters, the `-g` flag prevents shell glob expansion issues.

  2. Multiple accounts? Add the `Maton-Connection` header to specify which Typeform account to use: ``` Maton-Connection: your-connection-id ```

  3. Watch the rate limit β€” Maton enforces 10 requests/second per account. Batch your operations when processing many forms.

  4. Pagination token β€” For response lists, use the `before` token from each response to paginate through large datasets.

Error Handling

StatusMeaning
400No active Typeform connection
401Invalid Maton API key
429Rate limited (slow down)
4xx/5xxPassthrough from Typeform API

If you hit a 400, run the connection creation step above to re-authorize.

Conclusion

The Typeform skill transforms your AI agent into a form automation powerhouse. Create surveys conversationally, pull response data for analysis, and manage forms without context-switching to a web UI. Combined with Clawdbot's scheduling and automation capabilities, you can build fully autonomous feedback loopsβ€”from form creation to response analysis to follow-up actions.
