Forms

tally form list [--workspace-id <id>] [--limit <n>] [--page <n>] [--all]
tally form get --id <formId>
tally form create --blocks-file <path> [--workspace-id <id>] [--status DRAFT]
tally form create-simple --name "Contact" --fields "Name=text,Email=email,Message=textarea" [--workspace-id <id>] [--status DRAFT]
tally form update --id <formId> [--name "New Name"] [--status PUBLISHED] [--blocks-file <path>]
tally form delete --id <formId>
tally form questions --id <formId>

Submissions

tally submission list --form-id <id> [--filter all|completed|partial] [--start-date <iso8601>] [--end-date <iso8601>] [--limit <n>] [--after-id <id>] [--page <n>] [--all]
tally submission get --form-id <id> --id <submissionId>
tally submission delete --form-id <id> --id <submissionId>
tally submission export --form-id <id> [--format csv|json] [--output <path>] [--all]

Webhooks

tally webhook create --form-id <id> --url <https://endpoint> [--signing-secret-env TALLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET]
tally webhook list [--limit <n>] [--page <n>] [--all]
tally webhook delete --id <webhookId>
tally webhook events --id <webhookId> [--page <n>] [--all]
tally webhook retry --id <webhookId> --event-id <eventId>

Workspaces

tally workspace list [--page <n>] [--all]
tally workspace get --id <workspaceId>

DSL for create-simple

--fields grammar:

label=type,label=type,...

Supported types:

  • text
  • email
  • number
  • phone
  • date
  • time
  • url
  • textarea
  • file
  • rating

Use form create --blocks-file for complex blocks.

Common Workflows

1) Create a feedback form and connect webhook

tally form create-simple \
  --name "Customer Feedback" \
  --fields "Full Name=text,Email=email,Comments=textarea,Rating=rating"

tally webhook create \
  --form-id <newFormId> \
  --url https://example.com/webhooks/tally \
  --signing-secret-env TALLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET

2) Pull submissions and export safe CSV

tally submission list --form-id <formId> --filter completed --all

tally submission export \
  --form-id <formId> \
  --format csv \
  --output ./exports/tally-submissions.csv \
  --all

3) Audit form questions before downstream mapping

tally form questions --id <formId>
tally submission get --form-id <formId> --id <submissionId>

4) Workspace-scoped discovery

tally workspace list
tally form list --workspace-id <workspaceId> --all

Security Notes

  • API key is never printed in full (preview is redacted).
  • CSV export sanitizes header and cell formula prefixes (=, +, -, @, tab, carriage-return).
  • Webhook signingSecret is redacted from output payloads.
  • --blocks-file and --output paths are validated.
