FAQ
Can I link multiple workspaces from Typeform to one Contentful entry?
Currently we only support one Typeform workspace at a time. If you change your workspace on your configuration page, please make sure that you do not reference any forms from your previous workspace anymore.
What data will get stored in the Contentful entry?
Contentful will only store the URL of a selected typeform.
What happens when I select a typeform that does not exist on my workspace anymore?
If you run into the case where you have selected a typeform in the Contentful entry editor that has been recently removed, you will see a warning that the typeform does not exist anymore. Clearing the field will remove the old typeform and any other stale data.
Why can I not preview my typeform?
You can only preview forms that are published.
