Action

Why this helps

Requests arrive in forms, then disappear while someone manually recreates them in Canvas.

  • Removes duplicate data entry
  • Keeps requests actionable
  • Reduces missed follow-up

  • 2Create an automation and name it for assignment creation.
  • 3Describe that each new response should become a Canvas assignment with relevant details.
  • 4Pick the Typeform New Form Response trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real response.
