The ability to view a workflow depends on several factors:

• The privacy settings of the workflow
• The privacy settings of the folder that the workflow is in. For example, public workflows in a private folder can only be viewed by those who can access the folder.
• Teams and users that are assigned to the steps in the workflow. This is important because colleagues who are involved in workflows within a private folder can see the workflow even if they do not have access to the folder. They are unable to see workflows in which they are not involved.

Typeform is an online tool that allows users to create and share interactive forms, surveys, and questionnaires in a conversational format. You can integrate Typeform into a workflow, replacing the default Next Matter public form link with a Typeform link and sending back the collected data into a workflow system like Next Matter.
You need to configure a webhook that triggers when a form is completed on the Typeform side.
The webhook would then send the collected form data as a payload (usually in JSON format) to a Next Matter API endpoint.

Next, set up Out of office (Company > Out of office) for the users for a period of time (for example a month) and select a stand-in. This way you make sure no tasks in the existing instances will need this user's attention (as they will automatically be re-assigned to the stand-in.
After the period of time passes, you can safely delete the users.
