What this workflow does
This workflow connects quiz answers from Typeform directly to KlickTipp. It sends contact details and quiz results automatically. It handles phone number formatting, converts birthdays to UNIX timestamps, and sets tags based on quiz answers. It creates new tags if they do not exist, then assigns all correct tags to each subscriber. This saves most manual steps and gets leads ready for marketing fast.
