As a tech enthusiast and avid blogger, I love finding creative solutions to make different platforms work seamlessly together. One of my recent challenges was figuring out how to get Typeform to talk to AWeber for free. In this article, I’ll share the step-by-step process I followed, along with some personal touches and commentary to make it even more relatable.
Introduction
Have you ever wanted to integrate Typeform, the popular online form builder, with AWeber, the email marketing platform, but were discouraged by the cost? I’ve got great news for you! In this guide, I’ll show you how to achieve this integration for free. By following these steps, you can start collecting form responses and automatically send them to your AWeber email lists without spending a dime.
Step 1: Sign up for a Zapier Account
The key to connecting Typeform and AWeber without any additional cost is by leveraging Zapier, a powerful automation platform. Zapier allows you to create connections between different apps and automate workflows. Start by signing up for a Zapier account if you don’t have one already. The free plan should be sufficient for our needs.
Step 2: Create a New Zap
Once you’re logged into your Zapier account, click on the “Make a Zap” button to start creating a new Zap. A Zap is a connection between two or more apps. In this case, we’ll be creating a Zap between Typeform and AWeber.
Step 3: Choose Typeform as the Trigger App
In the “Choose a Trigger App” search bar, type “Typeform” and select it from the list of available apps. Click on “Continue” to proceed.
Step 4: Connect your Typeform Account
Next, you’ll need to connect your Typeform account with Zapier. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize Zapier to access your Typeform data. Once connected, choose the specific form you want to use for this integration.
Step 5: Test the Trigger
Zapier will now test the connection to ensure it’s working correctly. If everything is set up properly, you should see a success message. You can also click on “Test & Review” to check if any recent form submissions are being pulled correctly.
Step 6: Choose AWeber as the Action App
In the “Choose an Action App” search bar, type “AWeber” and select it from the list of available apps. Click on “Continue” to proceed.
Step 7: Connect your AWeber Account
Similar to the previous step, you’ll need to connect your AWeber account with Zapier. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize Zapier to access your AWeber account. Once connected, choose the specific email list where you want to send the form responses.
Step 8: Map the Data
Now it’s time to map the form data to the appropriate fields in your AWeber list. For example, you can map the “name” field in your Typeform to the “name” field in AWeber, and so on. This ensures that the form responses are correctly captured in your email list.
Step 9: Test the Action
Zapier will now test the connection between Typeform and AWeber by sending a test form response to your email list. Check your AWeber account to verify if the test response was successfully added to the list.
Step 10: Activate Your Zap
Once you’re satisfied with the test results, it’s time to activate your Zap. This means that the integration between Typeform and AWeber is now live, and any new form responses will automatically be added to your specified email list.
Conclusion
By following this step-by-step guide, you can seamlessly integrate Typeform with AWeber without breaking the bank. Zapier provides a great way to connect various apps and automate workflows, opening up endless possibilities to streamline your processes. So, go ahead and start collecting form responses and nurturing your email subscribers the free way!
