# Tally

# Tally integration

Connect Tally with your Softr applications to put your form submissions to work automatically. Build workflows that fire the moment someone completes one of your Tally forms — then notify your team, create records, and sync the answers wherever they need to go, all without code.

## Overview

The Softr Tally integration lets you connect your no-code apps with Tally, the free-to-use form and survey builder. When a new submission is received on a form you choose, Softr starts a workflow and hands you the submitted answers — so you can route the data into the rest of your app and tools in real time.

With Softr, you can turn every Tally submission into action: save it to a Softr database, send a confirmation email, post a Slack message, create a CRM contact, or kick off any other workflow built on top of the response.

## Available Triggers

### New Submission

Fires when a new submission is received on the Tally form you select. The trigger payload includes a unique event ID you can use to deduplicate submissions, the form ID and name, the response and respondent IDs, the submission timestamp, a link to download the response as a PDF, and an `answers` object keyed by each question's label. Softr resolves the question labels and types for the form you pick — including text, email, phone, link, number, date, rating, single- and multiple-choice, ranking, and file upload answers — and turns multiple-choice selections into their readable labels, so you can reference each answer directly in later workflow steps.

## Key Benefits

* **No-code form automation:** Connect a Tally form and act on every submission visually in Softr — no webhooks to wire up by hand.
* **Instant reactions:** Workflows fire the moment a form is submitted — no polling, no delay.
* **Readable answers:** Multiple-choice and dropdown selections come through as their labels, not internal IDs, so your workflows stay easy to read and map.
* **Works with any form:** Pick any published form on your Tally account, including multiple-choice questions and file uploads.
* **Secure connection:** Authorize once with OAuth — no API keys to copy or rotate.
