Turn Typeform Responses into Real-Time Social Proof ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿš€

Typeform is one of the most powerful tools for collecting data, feedback, and leads. But why let those valuable responses sit quietly in a database? By connecting Typeform to Fomo, you turn every new submission into a live notification that builds trust and creates a "busy" atmosphere on your site.

Whether you're collecting newsletter signups, feedback, or event registrations, showing your visitors that others are engaging with your brand in real-time is a massive asset for your conversion strategy.


Connecting Typeform to your Fomo account takes just a few seconds and requires zero coding experience.


Step 1  Initialize the Connection ๐Ÿ”Œ

First, letโ€™s bridge the gap between your feedback and your storefront.

  1. Log into your Fomo account and navigate to the Notifications tab.
  2. Click Add Notifications, then click on All notifications and search for "Typeform" in the instant search field or scroll down until you find Form Submission

  3. Click Connect. A prompt will appear asking you to sign in to your Typeform account.
  4. Once logged in, click Accept to authorize Fomo.


Bam! Youโ€™re connected. Now we need to get the Form ID and give it to Fomo๐Ÿค


Step 2  Get High-Impact Form ID๐ŸŽฏ

Fomo pulls your form responses and gives you total control over what information is displayed. First, we need to know which form you want to turn into social proof.


  1. Sign into Typeform and go to your workspace.
  2. Choose the form you want to integrate and click on it.



  3. Visit the Share tab at the top of the page.



  4. Look at the end of the Share URL; your Form ID is located right at the end (for example, if the URL ends in "uHByBoTs", that is your ID).


  5. Copy that ID go back to Fomo and paste it into your Typeform settings page.



Once you click Save, youโ€™ll see two additional form inputs appear. This is where youโ€™ll define the "logic" of your notifications.


Step 3  Configuring Your Conversion Variables โš™๏ธ

Now, let's teach Fomo exactly what responses you want to surface to your visitors. Use the Template Variables and Field Options dropdowns to map your data.

Pro-Tip: If your form asks, "My company's name is...", you can map that specific response to a variable called company .


  1. Select the Typeform field you want to use.
  2. Assign it a variable name (like first_name  or company ).


  3. Click Add.


Repeat this for every piece of information you want to feature in your Fomo Events. The more personal and specific the data (like a city or a specific choice), the higher the trust-factor for your audience. ๐Ÿ’Ž


Step 4  Customize Your Social Proof ๐ŸŽจ

Head over to your  to make these notifications feel like a native part of your brand. You can use the custom variables you created in Step 3 to craft a compelling message.



Example Template:{{ first_name }} from {{ company }} just shared their feedback! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

You can customize the look and feel from colors to timing to ensure these alerts enhance your siteโ€™s aesthetic without causing "notification fatigue." Learn how to customize your theme.


Make sure to check how to add filters to your templates.


Step 5  Scaling Your Social Proof ๐Ÿ”

Have more forms to connect? No problem. Fomo allows you to aggregate social proof from across your entire ecosystem.


For each new form, navigate back to Notifications Tab > Typeform settings and click Connect New. Follow Steps 1 through 4 for each one.



Note: Only the variables you manually connect in Step 3 will be available in your template . If you want to show a visitor's city, make sure that variable is mapped!

Youโ€™re Done! โœจ

Fomo will immediately begin importing recent form responses. Thanks to our instant webhook connection, all future responses will be surfaced as live events the moment they happen.


Every form is unique, so don't be afraid to leverage . You can even refine your variables further using our  to ensure every notification is polished and professional.
