Hy all,

I setup a little API solution to enter details of our typeform answers to a slack channel and to our SASS solution.

I had failures because of typos mainly. Someone misspell their name and added a “ in Mich”el and sending the mail to our slack channel failed.

Is there a way to prevent that ? To check for forbidden characters ?

 

Sincerely,

Luke.

Hi @LukeVideo Thanks for stopping by the community! I’m afraid our native integration with Slack doesn’t have the option to check for misspellings nor do we have a workaround for this at this time. 😪

I don’t believe there is a way to achieve this with custom code, but I could be wrong. Tagging @mathio in case there’s a solution I’m not thinking of.

Thank you for your answer Liz.

I am not using typefrom’s slack integration. I am sending the mail from google app script. Typeform send the response to a google sheet. I might be able top do some checks there.

Ah got it! I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to help with any custom code of this nature, but if you do find a solution, let us know! Or someone in the community might have an idea for you. 😀

Hello @LukeVideo 

I dont think you can prevent specific characters from being entered as answer. However you might be able to replace or escape such characters in your custom integration.
