Typeform

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Typeform credential, you need to obtain your Personal Access Token from your Typeform account. Typeform uses Bearer token authentication for all API requests.

To obtain your Typeform Personal Access Token, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Typeform account using your administrator credentials.

  2. Navigate to your account settings by clicking on your profile icon in the top right corner of the Typeform dashboard, then select My Account or Account Settings.

  3. In your account settings, navigate to the Personal Tokens section or API Tokens tab.

  4. If you don't have a personal access token yet, click Create Token or Generate Token to create a new personal access token.

  5. Configure your token settings:

    • Enter a name for the token (e.g., "Nexla Integration")
    • Review the token permissions or scopes (if applicable)
    • Click Create or Generate to create the token

  6. After the token is created, copy the Personal Access Token value immediately, as it may not be accessible again after you navigate away from the page.

  7. Store the token securely, as you will need it to configure your Nexla credential. The Personal Access Token is sensitive information and should be kept confidential.

The Personal Access Token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests to the Typeform API. The token authenticates your requests and grants access to Typeform resources based on your account permissions. If your token is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your Typeform account settings and generate a new one. For detailed information about obtaining personal access tokens, API authentication, and available endpoints, refer to the Typeform API documentation.

Create a Typeform Credential​

  • To create a new Typeform credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

Bearer Token Authentication​

Typeform uses Bearer token authentication for all API requests. The Personal Access Token is sent in the Authorization header.

  1. Enter your API Personal Access Token in the API Personal Access Token field. This is the Personal Access Token you obtained from your Typeform account (My Account > Personal Tokens). The token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests to the Typeform API. The Personal Access Token is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

    Your Typeform Personal Access Token can be found in your Typeform account under My Account > Personal Tokens. To use the Typeform APIs, you need to pass your personal access token. Login to your Typeform account and create a token in My Account >> Personal Tokens.

    If your token is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your Typeform account settings and generate a new one. The Personal Access Token provides access to your Typeform account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Keep your token secure and do not share it publicly.

    For detailed information about obtaining personal access tokens, API authentication, and available endpoints, see the Typeform API documentation and Typeform API overview.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
