Obtain an API key or OAuth credentials from your Workflows API dashboard and grant access to the TextIt app. Ensure the scope includes surveys.readonly.
Set up your TextIt app to accept the Workflows API connection, using secure credentials and recommended best practices for API access.
– GET /surveys/ — Retrieve all surveys from Workflows API. – GET /surveys/submissions — Retrieve survey submissions. – Additional endpoints (3 to 17) are available in your API docs. Use them to fetch survey details, metadata, and related resources as needed. Note that the page focuses on primary endpoints used for TextIt automation.
Trigger: a new or updated survey is available in Workflows API; pull via GET /surveys/ to populate or refresh TextIt forms.
Actions: map survey fields to TextIt form fields; create or update campaigns based on survey data.
GET /surveys/
id, title, questions, status
Trigger: when a new submission is created in a survey, pull GET /surveys/submissions and send a TextIt message.
Actions: parse submission data and route to appropriate TextIt flows; update contact fields in TextIt.
GET /surveys/submissions
submission_id, survey_id, respondent, answers
Trigger: fetch related data from supplementary endpoints to enrich TextIt campaigns.
Actions: combine endpoint data with existing TextIt contacts to personalize messages.
GET /surveys/{id} or related endpoints
survey_id, id, metadata
Automate data flow between surveys and messaging without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and improve targeting with up to date responses.
Gain real time insights by syncing submissions into TextIt campaigns and automations.
Understand the key concepts and processes that underpin the integration of the Workflows API with TextIt.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enables two software apps to communicate and exchange data.
A callback URL that notifies your app when an event occurs in another system.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation.
Methods to verify identity and grant access, typically OAuth or API keys.
When a new survey is created in Workflows API, automatically trigger a TextIt message to welcome respondents.
Send a digest in TextIt when responses are received to keep teams informed.
Combine answers and metadata in TextIt to tailor conversations and follow ups.
Obtain credentials and grant access for both apps.
Create a Zapier workflow linking the GET surveys endpoints and the submissions endpoint.
Map fields between systems and run tests to verify data flow.
Yes. You need to authorize both apps and provide the necessary credentials. Use the Workflows API OAuth or API key flow and configure TextIt to securely store tokens. This ensures that data flows only to permitted destinations.
Basic setup does not require custom code. The integration is designed for no code builders using Zapier and webhooks. Advanced scenarios may require light scripting, but most use cases are achievable with simple mappings.
Start with the core endpoints GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions. Additional endpoints can be added as you expand the workflow.
Use test runs in Zapier or a staging TextIt campaign to verify data flow. Check field mappings and confirm that messages trigger as expected.
Yes. You can map fields from Workflows API surveys and submissions to TextIt fields such as name, email, and response data.
View logs in Zapier task history and in TextIt campaign logs. Use webhooks testing to identify issues.
Most plans support automated polling but check the rate limits in your API plan. If you hit limits, space out requests or batch data where possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
