query parameter no longer matches hidden field values

Hi Typeform team, We're experiencing an issue with the /responses API. We used to query for hidden field values (e.g., ?query=abc123) and receive matching responses where "hidden": { "field_name": "abc123" } — this worked fine until a few days ago. Now, the same query returns no results, even though we can see the hidden field present in the response payloads. Could you confirm whether hidden field search support was changed, deprecated, or broken? Thanks!

Feature to verify phone number

Hello, we would like to implement a phone number validation on one of our contact form. The ideal solution for us would be a using OTP system (like the one from Twilio). As per my understanding it will require an API. According to TypeForm help support, there is no native solution We are looking for the best manner to implement this verification via API or any other way, does anyone know any example of something similar done on a form ? Or have any advices ? Thanks in advance

Why Am I Receiving Empty Responses When Fetching by response_id Immediately After a Typeform Submission?

I have a feature where, immediately after a user submits a response through the Typeform embed on my website, I retrieve the response_id returned by the Typeform component. I then send this response_id to my backend, which queries the Typeform API using the endpoint https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}/responses with the included_response_ids parameter set to the response_id. However, sometimes the API returns an empty response, as if the response couldn't be found. Could this be due to a delay in the response being created? What would you suggest to handle this issue effectively?

SOS!!! Help

Hi! I am a newbie to Typeform and so far have been able to build out a couple of assessments successfully BUT I hit a wall and feel like it’s time to bring in some help. I think the work to be done on this form is relatively easy -- it’s a multiple-question assessment with four outcomes … I can’t figure out how to score or deliver outcomes. I’m looking for someone to resolve that issue and shine a light on missed opportunities with typeform.

Looking to Hire someone to create forms

I am looking to hire someone who can help me create forms and then help me add those forms onto a diary. Maybe an integration? Im not very technical sorry. The idea is that the staff can see that a task is due on a particular day, for example health and safety check list, then can click on the form from the diary, and work their way through the form answering questions. Then next part of the test will be for me to integrate those results on a website so they can be viewed on my own layout. Can anyone suggest who might be able to help with this? all or part of the task?

Generate a report and get the report link via an API call

Hello,We have succesfully automated data retrieval using webhooks, and the API.We are now trying to embed a report into our webapp dynamically or at least get the url of the report dynamically. Here is an example to make things clear: I type a TypeForm Survey_id into a field input and press a button. This button should do the following: I would like to make a request through the API to generate (if none exist yet) or find the full report and return the associated URL or ID so i can embed it into my webpage. Does such an API call exists ? Can I “hack” something similar ? Or is there a workaround ?This feature would be really nice for developers, since the report layout is quite nice. Thanks

Multiple Stripe accounts

I am managing registration for several events but each event has its own stripe account. How can I use different stripe accounts for multiple typeforms? Unfortunately, it is only allowing me to use one for all of my forms.

How to Retrieve Form Data in Real-Time at Each Step?

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on integrating Typeform into our system and I’m facing a challenge with real-time data retrieval. As far as I understand, Typeform only sends webhook events when a form is fully submitted, and the API only provides access to completed responses. However, for our use case, we need to track user progress step by step and retrieve form data in real time as users move through the questions. Here are the specific issues we’re encountering: We can't capture partial responses before the final submission. The webhook fires only at the end of the form, not at each step. Even when embedding Typeform via an iframe, we can track step changes, but we don’t get field values—only form and question IDs. Field IDs are alphanumeric and dynamic, making it difficult to map them consistently to our database. Ideally, we’d like to receive user input progressively at each step to track drop-offs and improve our form experience. Is there any workaround, API feature, or best

Actual day, day of week and time

One way to make forms more interactive would be to have hidden date and time fields, which by default contain the current day and time. This way, it is not necessary to pass them as parameters in the URL And if we could have the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) that would be better, because we could personalize the conversation:> Hi, Pedro, it's already Friday, what a great day> Welcome Luis, it's great to start the week by requesting a moving service> Hi Maria, although it's already late (it's 11 at night) we are going to complete your order It wouldn't increase the cost of storage in the database if they can be selected or deselected, and it would give a lot of play to the forms. Greetings……………………... Una manera de hacer más interactivos los formularios sería contar con campos ocultos de tipo fecha y hora, que por defecto contengan el día y hora actual. Así no es necesario pasarlos como parámetros en la URL Y si se pudiera tener el día de la semana (lunes, martes, etc..) mejor,

Intergate Typeform Form Link with Intercom Workflows

We are trying to embed a Typeform in WhatsApp using the Intercom workflow "Add App" feature. However, instead of opening the form directly, WhatsApp only displays the link, requiring users to click and open it externally. Is there a way to make the form open directly within WhatsApp instead of redirecting users outside the app? Any solutions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Passing a hidden field from an embed code as parameter breaks the value when the value contains a comma

I’m customizing a statement slide on my Typeform, using data from a DB and passed with PHP as hidden value using the parameters in the embed code. I noticed that if my value contains a comma, typeform shows just the part before the comma. For example, if I pass “This is the first, this is the second”, on Typeform I see just “This is the first”. I tried to convert the comma into %2C, but no luck (I see all the statement, but I see “%2C” and not the comma. There’s something I can do? Actually I’m removing the comma via PHP but it’s not the best solution for my needs. (I’ve to show stores addresses)

UTMs not being passed to landing page - help

Hi i have UTMs in all of my links, but when someone makes an application on my typeform, after they get redirected to our call booking landing page the UTMs are being stripped from the URL. This means our call booking calendar form can’t track where the successful applicant came from. im aware that typeform stores the UTM itself (and we have this setting turned on), but how can I ensure that the details are not stripped from the URL when it redirects the user at the end of the form? We have code in Google tag manager that stops URLs being stripped of their UTMs across all other pages (which works), but whenever the embedded typeform is used, it seems to be ignored. Any guidance would be appreciated!

How to customise name field at contact info content

Even though I already connected with Slack before changing all status, after I changed last name field at 'contact info' to not required status, then got an error that the last name not shown in slack because in korea, we normally type name to last name+first name in order. We call name= 이름 and first name = 이름, It’s same….. The divided fields make ppl confused to type name rather than combined for Korea user. my question is that I have to connect with slack whenever I revise contents and there insn’t any method to combine Last name + first name field for Korean ?

How to open, close and schedule a form through the RESTful API?

Hey, Seems like you can only change if a form is published or not through the /settings/is_public attribute on a form itself but I can’t find how to open/close a form from the PATCH /forms/{id} endpoint. Inspecting the web UI, I can see that it’s doing its things using the PUT /forms/{id}/access-scheduling endpoint but this seems hidden from the public RESTful API. Am I missing something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
