Delete responses automatically

Hi @tojo Nice to hear from you again! Happy Tuesday! 

We don't have any option to automatically delete response after a certain time, but you could set something like this up on your own using our Responses API. With this, you could run the API call every so often to automatically delete the responses for you. Would something like that work? 

Hi @tojo I don’t think there is a delete option within Zapier, I’m afraid, even with the webhook option, but tagging @picsoung just in case they know a workaround I don’t!

Hi picsoung,

That could solve the problem but I don't get it to work. Can you see where the problem is?

@picsoung do you happen to have any ideas?

Hi again,

Thanks for your support. I get no error message any more but NO Delete. Here is the Webhook call.

What am I doing wrong?

Hey @tojo 

Looking at the URL, looks like you are calling https://770g1rnk9ds.typeform.com
instead of https://api.typeform.com

Hi @tojo 

Please refer to my original message or our API documentation

Where I mentioned the URL you should use.
it should be of the form https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}/responses?included_response_ids={RESPONSE_ID_FROM_TRIGGER}

In your example the form_id is T10O7MNN

note there is no `/to/` in the API url.

Exactly, so your form is available at the URL: https://770g1rnk9ds.typeform.com/to/T10O7MNN

Right?

So the form_id is T10O7MNN

You can then replace the placeholder {form_id} in https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}/responses?included_response_ids={RESPONSE_ID_FROM_TRIGGER}

by the form_id we just found, and the other place holder {RESPONSE_ID_FROM_TRIGGER} by the id of the response you want to delete. Taken from your example it should be rclpt07cdl1s57hdcc5krclpt07tv7tk 

So the final URL should be: https://api.typeform.com/forms/T10O7MNN/responses?included_response_ids=rclpt07cdl1s57hdcc5krclpt07tv7tk

Hope it makes sense

I got stuck at the same point earlier, but managed to set that up with the help of one of our devs. 

You can generate a “personal token” via your Typeform profile. 

In your Zapier settings add “Authorization” in the header field and “Bearer [token]” in the value field. Replace “[token]” with the personal token you generated. 

Here it is. I hid my personal token, so as not to spread authentication data. That token is behind the colored bar in the image.

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to set form responses to automatically delete after a period of time (like 60 or 90 days)?

Hi together,

i want to be gdpr conform in germany. For that it would be great to have the possibility to automatically delete responses after e.g. 6 month.

Is there any option to set this? 

Best regards,
Sebastian
