Warning! When you connect Typeform to any app through Zapier, we will automatically submit a test response to your form. You’ll see this in your results. Example test submissions for every question type, can be found in our connect Typeform with Zapier article.

Now test the Zap to make sure it works. Once you’re satisfied with the results, your new form entries will create a corresponding Zendesk ticket.
