@mathio do you happen to know if this is/will be possible with the APIs?

Hi @theomrt 

yes there is! You can see in our developer portal changelog this functionality was added in March. When you retrieve responses via API, you can use response_type to filter partial responses.

Each returned response also has response_type value (started, partial or completed):

Hey @mathio, thanks for the response!

Do you know if I can find that through Zapier or Make - the webhook data I get from Zapier display only fully submitted forms. 

Should I build a custom app in Typeform to get this information?

My goal is to connect the partial submitted informations to Hubspot.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with those tools. If you are fetching responses in those tools from out API, you will see the value in response from the API.

Maybe @john.desborough or @picsoung might have experience with Zapier and Make, they are better at no-code tools than I am.

@mathio - sorry my forte either lol.. i use very simple zaps and only on completed forms at this point … 

If your third coffee of the day is not helping you with your Typeform, maybe we can help you find your answers...

When will the [partial] response type be available via webhook and/or zapier? Partial responses don’t have much use if we can’t automate followup.

I’d also like to know if/when partial submissions will be added to the webhook API?

Hi @theomrt, @cmhanson, @Allotrac.

Our team is working hard at the moment on adding support for Partial Responses to Webhooks (UI and API). 
Stay tuned! You should here from us very soon :)

Hey @theomrt, @cmhanson, @Allotrac, @john.desborough, everyone.

We are back with a quick announcement: Partial responses functionality is supported by webhooks!

Now, you can choose which webhook types you need, and get the Partial Response data via a separate webhook. This new webhook type is optional, and complimentary to the full one sent when the complete response is submitted.
This webhook option can be selected when Partial Submission is available for your subscription plan, and when the Partial Submit point is part of a form.

More information about webhooks: https://www.typeform.com/help/a/webhooks-360029573471/

And please, send us feedback and questions here, in the thread directly.

Thank you!
Regards, Dmytro
