Need Help Automating Typeform Quiz Creation from Lecture Transcripts 🙏



Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a Zapier automation to generate Typeform quizzes directly from lecture transcripts. Here's my workflow so far:

  1. Tactiq: This app transcribes my lectures into text.
  2. ChatGPT API: I'm using the ChatGPT API to generate multiple-choice questions and answers in JSON format based on the transcript.
  3. Code by Zapier: This step successfully takes the ChatGPT output (which is a JSON array of question objects) and stores it in a variable called typeformFields.

Here's where I'm stuck:

4. Typeform API: I'm using the "Create Form" action to create a new Typeform. However, I'm unsure how to correctly reference the typeformFields variable in the API's body data.

Here's what I have in the Body:

JSON

When I use this, it creates the form in Typeform, however I want it to transfer the output from ChatGPT questions/answers directly via Code by Zapier output into API by Typeform.

When I test this step, I get a "400 Bad Request" error. I believe this is because I'm not correctly inserting the questions from the typeformFields variable.

I'm looking for help on how to correctly format the JSON body data in the Typeform API step to dynamically insert the questions generated by ChatGPT. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance so much!!!
