Typeform Automation, Approvals & Workflow
Run Typeform on autopilot. Keep the veto.
35 actions1 trigger
A new Typeform response fires and something downstream ships before you've read a single answer. Rills proposes the next action; you approve before it goes out.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential other action from Typeform arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Update messages on 3 live forms with revised copy?
TYPEFORM_NEW_RESPONSE spike: 41 submissions in last 2h
Same copy approved manually on 2 prior forms last week
Changes affect confirmation screen visible to all respondents
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Typeform automation
Every time a new Typeform response comes in, something else is supposed to happen next, and that "something" can go out wrong, go out to the wrong person, or go out before you even knew the response existed.
When Typeform runs unsupervised
Automated Typeform workflows feel contained right up until one of them fires at the wrong moment. A form update goes out mid-campaign, a theme gets deleted before you'd finished testing, a workspace change hits before the team was ready.
- New response received: downstream actions trigger on partial or test submissions you never meant to count.
- Update Form Messages: edited copy ships to live respondents before you've approved the new version.
- Delete Theme: a theme wipe goes through instantly with no confirmation step, breaking forms that referenced it.
- Delete Workspace: workspace removal fires and takes shared forms with it before anyone notices.
- Create Image or Upload Video: new assets go live inside forms before QA, changing the respondent experience without warning.
What Rills does inside Typeform
Rills watches for the TYPEFORM_NEW_RESPONSE trigger and queues the proposed follow-on actions, whether that's Update Form Messages, a Create Theme call, or a Delete Image cleanup, so none of them fire until you've looked at the proposal. You approve Typeform changes on your schedule, not the automation's.
The form update still happens; you just see it before it reaches a single respondent.
When Typeform events should and shouldn't act on their own
Not every response event carries the same risk. Some patterns are routine enough that confidence scores climb quickly; others should always wait for a human because the downstream action is irreversible or customer-visible.
- TYPEFORM_NEW_RESPONSE (internal tagging): routine enough to graduate once the pattern is stable, low blast radius if wrong.
- TYPEFORM_NEW_RESPONSE (triggers Delete Image or Delete Theme): always needs a human; deletions in Typeform are permanent and affect every form referencing that asset.
- TYPEFORM_NEW_RESPONSE (triggers Update Form Messages): judgment call; copy changes are customer-visible and should stay in the approval queue until you've seen several clean runs in a row.
Good Typeform automation in the "Other" category is not about moving faster. It is about knowing which actions you can afford to be wrong about and keeping those in the queue until you decide otherwise.
