hello,
I’m very new to Typeform. I’m the developer of a new website that needs to collect information about companies, construction projects, rental housing etc and I’m thinking maybe Typeform could do a good job here but I’m not sure if it is advanced enough for this.
So lets say the user opens the form, and it asks for personal info etc first. Then the user needs to put in if he wants to register a company, a construction project or wants to rent out his housing. Could there be different kinds of forms depending on what he chooses. And in the end of this customer journey, could there be different kinds of API calls to supabase (the backend we are using with a postgres database) to post this data?
Also, could the form be in two different languages?
I’m using next.js as the framework for this, and I’ve seen some nice embedds of typeform to react. :-)
Please give me all the tips, comments and suggestions you can think about.
Thank you!
Sending different kinds of API post requests depending on user input
+5Hi
As for creating different forms, you could do something like this or you could use logic jumps to show questions that apply based on the previous answers they’ve given!
If you only have a few questions they need to answer, then I think the logic jump option is good. However, if there will be a lot more questions to answer, then I would definitely send them to a new form.
As for languages, we actually have a translation tool that can translate the form based on the language your customer’s browser is in! You can read more about this here.
+5Hello
we offer React Embed SDK @typeform/embed-react that works with Next.js. Make sure to render it client-side only, as the SDK does not support rendering server-side because it relies on browser APIs.
You can use callbacks if you want to integrate it more tightly with your website, just make sure to wrap them in useCallback to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
thanks
Also, one route, or choice the user took might be needed to be posted into the CRM as a lead, while other choices or routes in the typeform needs to be posted into a database. So how much control do I have of managing the data when the user has completed the form. Because depending on what route the user took, and what data he posted, it needs to be posted into different plances.
+5We support webhooks. You can receive responses as JSON from your form in your custom endpoint and build your functionality based on responses to save the data where necessary.
+5React is frontend library. You will need to receive webhooks on backend. It is possible to build such endpoint eg. in JavaScript if that is your preference.
You can find an example payload in our developer docs. You can also create a webhook for testing purposes in the “Connect” tab of your form’s admin UI and send test requests to your endpoint:
You can also find some example projects in our developer portal community page (eg. there are few built in JavaScript / Node.js).

- NextJS integration (live coding video and also an article)
- Embed SDK documentation
- CodeSandbox demos
- My own, unofficial demos (not necessarily limited to React / NextJS)
