When form submission received in Typeform, generate a static screenshot of the website using ScreenshotOne and Send to users WhatsApp
When someone submits your Typeform, ScreenshotOne captures a static screenshot of the website they entered and WhatsApp Cloud API sends that image to the person’s WhatsApp number.

What this workflow does
Agencies, designers and audit services often ask prospects for their website address. Sending back a snapshot of that site within moments shows you have looked at it and gives the conversation a starting point. This workflow captures the page and sends the image over WhatsApp.
The Typeform New Form Submission trigger starts a run for each response to your form. FlowMattic passes the answers on, so your form needs a question for the website address and one for the phone number.
The ScreenshotOne Create Static Screenshot step then takes a still image of a web page. It ships unmapped: after import you map the website answer from Typeform as the page to capture. The WhatsApp Cloud API Send Image Message step already uses the screenshot URL that ScreenshotOne returns as its image. You still map the respondent's phone number as the recipient.
An image message is not a template message, so WhatsApp generally delivers it only within 24 hours of the person writing to your business number. People who fill in the form without ever messaging you may not receive it. Test with your own number and check Task History.
Website audit requests
A web agency's Typeform asks for a site address. The prospect gets a screenshot of their homepage on WhatsApp, and the agency follows up with its findings in the same chat.
Redesign quote intake
A freelance designer collects quote requests in Typeform and sends each person a capture of their current site to confirm the right page was submitted.
Listing checks for a directory
A business directory asks owners to submit their website in Typeform and sends back the screenshot that will appear with their listing.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Typeform New Form SubmissionRuns whenever your Typeform receives a new response. The answers, including the website address and phone number questions on your form, are passed to the next steps.
- ScreenshotOne Create Static Screenshot
Takes a static screenshot of a web page with ScreenshotOne. Map the website answer from Typeform as the page to capture after import; the step returns a link to the image.
- WhatsApp Cloud API Send Image Message
Sends the screenshot as a WhatsApp image message. The image is already mapped to the ScreenshotOne result; map the respondent's phone number from Typeform as the recipient.
What you need

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Use Typeform's website question type for the address, so respondents enter a full URL that ScreenshotOne can open.
- Ask for the phone number with the country code, because WhatsApp needs the full international number to deliver the image.
- Ask respondents in the form to message your WhatsApp number first, so the image arrives inside WhatsApp's 24-hour window for non-template messages.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Typeform respondent receive the screenshot on WhatsApp?
Not always. WhatsApp usually delivers non-template messages, images included, only inside 24 hours of the person messaging your business number. Check Task History for WhatsApp's response to each send.
Where does ScreenshotOne get the website address?
From your form. The Create Static Screenshot step ships unmapped, so after import you map the Typeform answer that holds the URL into it.
Can the workflow send an animated capture instead?
ScreenshotOne's FlowMattic integration also has a Create Animated Screenshot action. Swapping it in means remapping the image in the WhatsApp step to that step's result, and checking WhatsApp accepts the file.
