Note: Currently, videoask URLs with a custom domain aren't supported. We recommend using the default videoask URL as respondents won't be able to see the URL of your videoask.

9

Select a layout in the right-hand sidebar to choose where you'd like to position your videoask.

Things to keep in mind when embedding a videoask in a typeform

Although we're always continuing to improve and develop our integrations, there are a few things worth bearing in mind when embedding a videoask into a typeform...

Responses will be collected in separate accounts.

VideoAsk and Typeform are separate platforms that have not yet been fully integrated. This means you won't see the answers to your typeform in your videoask's inbox, and your videoask responses won't appear in your typeform's Results Panel.

Make sure to keep an eye on both accounts to keep up with the responses you receive.

Data collection works differently between Typeform and VideoAsk

Responses to a videoask will be submitted step by step (so you might receive some responses even if your respondent doesn't reach the end of your form), whereas answers to a typeform are only submitted when the respondent clicks the final Submit button.

In practice, this means that you could receive some responses to videoasks embedded in a typeform, without receiving a response to your typeform.

Contact details cannot be passed through a videoask embedded in a typeform

You currently can't pass contact details between a videoask embedded in a typeform, so depending on your flow respondents may have to enter their contact details twice.

If you want to avoid respondents having to enter their contact information twice, learn how to connect a typeform to a videoask using variables.

You can import respondents' contact details from a typeform to your VideoAsk contact list, so if that works for your flow, learn how here.

Respondents will have two call to action or submit buttons

Because you are essentially embedding a form within a form, respondents will be prompted to submit their answers to both the videoask step and the typeform question.

Respondents will see both the call to action or buttons from the videoask (as determined by the answer type you've selected for that step) as well as the typeform Enter or Submit button on the same page. Respondents should submit answers to the videoask part of the step first and then continue with the typeform.
