Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: email me each new response to my Typeform 'Contact us' form with every question and answer.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

Typeform stores results neatly, but it does not make anyone read them. A small agency has an inquiry form on its website, and the owner assumes new submissions will trigger a notification, only to discover a request from a week ago sitting unseen in the results tab. Prospects who wait a week for a reply have usually found someone else.

As soon as someone submits your Typeform, this takes the response, matches each question title to its answer and emails you the formatted result. The whole submission is in your inbox within seconds, readable without opening Typeform.

Use it for inquiries, bookings, applications or any form where a person needs to reply. It takes little setup, and the form keeps working as before for the people filling it in. Everyone sees the same thing.

What you get out of it

Replies go out the same day
With the answers in your inbox, you can respond between other tasks. Prospects get an answer within hours, which is when interest is highest and competitors have not yet replied.
Answers readable at a glance
Each question title is paired with its answer, so the email reads like a short form. You do not have to decode field codes or open a separate results page to understand it.
Sent to whoever handles it
The email can go to one person or to a shared inbox. Forwarding responses to a team address means coverage during vacations, and nobody has to be the single point of failure.
Inbox becomes a searchable archive
Emails are easy to search by name, topic or date. When a client calls back about what they submitted, you can find their exact words in seconds. That archive can be shared with colleagues who have no Typeform seat.
No polling or checking
The email arrives as the response happens, instead of waiting for someone to look at results. People stop refreshing Typeform, and nothing sits unseen because nobody thought to check. Fewer missed requests means fewer apologies later.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Typeform steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

    titles = {f["id"]: f["title"] for f in resp["definition"]["fields"]}
    out = {}
    for a in resp["answers"]:

        if isinstance(value, dict):
            value = value.get("label") or ", ".join(value.get("labels", []))
        out[titles.get(a["field"]["id"], a["field"]["id"])] = value
    return out

FAQ

Common questions

Does the email include file uploads?

File upload answers usually appear as links to the files stored by Typeform, not as attachments. Open the link to view the file. Large uploads are kept in Typeform and not copied into the email.

Can it send a copy to the person who filled it in?

Yes, if your form collects an email address, a confirmation copy can be sent to that address. This makes it easy to send a receipt, though you should word it carefully so it does not look like spam.

What happens if two people submit at the same moment?

Each submission is handled separately and produces its own email, so none are merged or lost. Busy forms can produce a lot of emails, in which case a digest or a Slack channel may suit better.

What permissions does it need?

forms:read, webhooks:write. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run for each event the app sends.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
