Tally is a free, Notion-like form and survey builder that lets anyone create beautiful, logic-driven forms without writing a line of code. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and close forms on demand, pull every submission the moment it arrives, route responses to CRM contacts, log data to spreadsheets, and trigger multi-step workflows — all without you opening a browser.

Onboarding form → full CS kickoff

When a new customer fills in your onboarding Tally form, the agent reads every field — preferred communication channel, company size, primary use case — and fans out the entire welcome sequence without a rep lifting a finger. A personalised Slack message hits the assigned CSM, a kickoff call appears on Google Calendar, and a confirmation email lands in the customer's inbox within 60 seconds of form submission.

FAQs

Questions about Tally + Actionist

Which Tally events can trigger an agent workflow?
The New Submission trigger fires on every completed form response in real time. Actionist receives the full payload — all field values, the submission ID, respondent email, and a timestamp — so your agent can immediately route, enrich, or log the data.
Will editing or updating a response re-trigger a workflow?
No — the New Submission trigger fires only on first-time submissions. If you need to act on edits, use the List submissions or Get submission actions on a schedule to detect changes between polling intervals.
Can the agent read file uploads from Tally forms?
Yes. When a form includes a file-upload field, the submission payload includes the hosted URL of the uploaded file. Your agent can download it, forward it, or store it in Google Drive or AWS S3 using those apps' actions.
How do I prevent duplicate CRM contacts from form submissions?
In your workflow, use the Get submission action to extract the respondent's email, then call HubSpot's Find contact action before creating. If a contact already exists, update it instead. You can also add a Filter step that halts the workflow if a duplicate email is detected.
Can I create Tally forms programmatically for each new campaign?
Yes. The Create form action lets your agent spin up a new Tally form at any point — for example, when a new HubSpot campaign is created or a new product goes live. Use Update form to keep settings current and Delete form to clean up expired surveys automatically.
What scopes does Actionist request when I connect via MCP?
Actionist requests read and write access to your Tally forms and submissions. It does not request billing or admin account settings. You can revoke access at any time from Tally's Settings → Integrations → Connected apps.
Is there a rate limit on the Tally API that could affect scheduled workflows?
Tally's API enforces rate limits that vary by plan. Free plans have lower request caps than paid plans. If your agent lists submissions frequently or runs bulk operations, upgrade to a paid Tally plan and add a brief delay between API calls in high-volume workflows to stay within limits.
How do I safely delete submissions for a GDPR right-to-erasure request?
Use the List submissions action to find the entry by respondent email, retrieve its ID, then call Delete submission to remove it from Tally. Log the deletion event — submission ID, timestamp, and requester — to a compliance spreadsheet for your audit trail. Always verify the email matches before deleting.
