}In Make, create a new scenario and add these modules in order:
- Typeform › Watch Responses
- Google Sheets › Add a Row
- Slack › Create a Message
- Every module run uses Make operations — the free plan includes a monthly quota.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and add these steps in order:
- Typeform — New Entry
- Google Sheets — Create Spreadsheet Row
- Slack — Send Channel Message
- Zaps with more than two steps need a paid Zapier plan.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
Tips
- Handle applicant data carefully and delete it when the role is filled.
