Hello,

Is it possible to use Type form API to create custom design forms? E.g. type form customization is not enough, we would wish to do some customization yourself, to improve UX of our forms, is that possible?

As even forms are really amazing, there are still places to improve for better experience.

Hello @ValdemarQ you can use Create API to build typeforms and themes programatically. However the API capabilities are constrained by what is also available in the builder (when you create typeforms manually in your account).

If you want to build a form completely by yourself, unfortunately we do not support automated submissions.

Hello @mathio, thanks, that is great.

At least dispaly styles and flows are not limited :) 
 

What do you mean by automated submissions?

Also, we are able via hidden fields collect some other information like IP address and anything we want and add it to the forms, right?

Yes, you can pass any data you want via hidden fields when you embed your typeform into a website:

You respondents need to click the submit button at the end of the form. While there are many options to automate things with typeform, form submissions are not one of those things.
