Export Typeform Form Structure and Logic Into a Documentation Sheet

The Scenario

You are a solutions engineer. A client has decided to migrate their entire Typeform account to a new one their IT team controls. They have twenty-five forms. You need to document every form's structure — field types, question text, and conditional logic rules — before the migration begins.

The migration handoff call is in three days. You have a Google Sheet ready for the documentation.

The slow version:

  • You open each form in Typeform's builder one by one
  • You read the fields and manually type field type, question text, and whether logic is enabled into the sheet
  • Some forms have twelve fields, some have two, and your column structure breaks by form eight
  • You cannot easily tell from the builder whether the logic on form fifteen is a skip logic or a branching rule
  • By form twenty, you are not confident the documentation is accurate
  • You send it to the client and they find three errors on the call.

The fast version is one prompt.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that fetches form structure from Typeform's API directly, so you do not have to read the form builder.

Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:

Fetch the full configuration for each Typeform form ID in column A and write form title, number of fields, field types (comma-separated), and whether conditional logic is enabled (Yes/No) into columns B through E for each row.

SheetXAI calls Typeform's form retrieval endpoint for each of the twenty-five IDs and writes the structured metadata into the sheet. You have a complete documentation table in minutes.

What You Get

A migration-ready documentation sheet:

  • Column B — form title (as it appears in Typeform, not the ID)
  • Column C — total number of fields
  • Column D — field types, comma-separated (e.g., "multiple choice, short text, rating, statement")
  • Column E — conditional logic enabled: Yes or No

The documentation is pulled from the API, not typed from the UI. Every field name and type is exactly what Typeform stores — no transcription errors.

If the client's new account admin wants question-level detail, SheetXAI can go deeper: one row per question per form, with question text and answer options in separate columns.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

Migration documentation is often more detailed than a summary table. SheetXAI handles each escalation in one prompt.

When you need full question text, not just field types

The summary table shows field types, but the client needs the actual question wording for each field.

For each Typeform form ID in column A, get the full configuration and write one row per field into the sheet. Columns: form ID, form title, field order, field type, and question text. Group all fields from one form together before moving to the next.

When you need to flag forms that use logic the new account may not support

The new account is on a lower Typeform plan that does not support conditional logic. You need to know which forms will break.

For each form ID in column A, fetch the configuration. If the form uses conditional logic, write "Logic present — review required" into column E and list the affected field references in column F. If no logic, write "Clean" into column E.

When the client needs all answer options for multiple-choice questions

The migration requires rebuilding each form from scratch in the new account. You need the full option list for every multiple-choice field.

For each Typeform form ID in column A, fetch the full configuration. For each multiple-choice field, write one row per answer option into the sheet with columns: form ID, field order, question text, and answer option text. For non-choice fields, write the field type and question text into a single row.

When you need to produce a structured documentation export from raw form IDs and submit it in one batch

You have the form IDs, you need the structured doc, and you need it formatted for the client handoff, not for internal use.

For each form ID in column A, fetch the configuration and write a clean documentation table: form title, number of fields, field types, logic enabled (Yes/No), and a plain-English summary of what the form does based on the question text — infer the purpose from the questions. Write the summary into column F. This is for a client handoff, so be concise and professional.

The pattern: the prompt escalates from summary to granular depending on what the migration requires. You describe the output shape and SheetXAI structures it.
