Tally

Tally Forms

Form builder platform. Two operations: discover form fields, submit to forms.

No submission API: Tally's API is for form owners. Submitting to external forms requires manual paste. See reference/api-research.md.

Operations

Discover Form Fields

Find the field structure for any Tally form.

Input: Form URL (e.g., https://tally.so/r/nrvBY2)

Step 1: Fetch the form

WebFetch:
  url: https://tally.so/r/<formId>
  prompt: "Extract the form structure: form ID, field names, field IDs (UUIDs),
           field types, required status, placeholders, and any hidden fields"

Step 2: Parse the response

Look for:

• formId and workspaceId in the page data
• Field blocks with UUIDs (format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
• Field types: textarea, email, text, number, dropdown, etc.
• Required indicators
• Placeholder text (helps identify field purpose)

Step 3: Output the structure

Form: <form name>
URL: https://tally.so/r/<formId>

| Field | Type | Required | Placeholder |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| <label> | textarea | Yes | "Enter URLs..." |
| <label> | email | No | "john@example.com" |

Example (Ref's doc request form):

Form: Add docs to Ref
URL: https://tally.so/r/nrvBY2

| Field | Type | Required | Placeholder |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| What docs would you like indexed? | textarea | Yes | "https://react.dev, ..." |
| Email | email | No | "john.smith@acme.com" |

Submit to Form

Guide user through manual submission to a Tally form.

Input:

• formId: From URL (e.g., nrvBY2)
• fields: Array of { name, value } pairs

Step 1: Display submission details

Output in copy-friendly format (no side borders):

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 TALLY FORM SUBMISSION
═══════════════════════════════════════════════

Form: https://tally.so/r/<formId>

── Field: <field1.name> ──

<field1.value>

── Field: <field2.name> ──

<field2.value>

═══════════════════════════════════════════════

Step 2: Direct user

1. Open the form URL
2. Copy each field value from above
3. Paste into corresponding form field
4. Submit

URL Prefill (Limited)

Tally supports URL parameter prefill only if the form owner configured hidden fields.

Format: https://tally.so/r/<formId>?field1=value1&field2=value2

Requirements:

• Form owner must add hidden field blocks
• Hidden field names must match URL params exactly (case-sensitive)
• Hidden fields must be linked to visible fields via "default answer"

If not configured: URL params are ignored. Manual paste is the only option.
