Use the Airtable plugin to sync new form responses straight to an Airtable database for any purpose you need. Airtable is a versatile system that can be useful for project management, backing up form responses, CRM, inventory management, event planning and much more.
✅ Pro Tip: The Airtable Plugin requires you to predefine the column headings in your Base’s Table, to then link with relevant form fields.
Setup the Plugin
Navigate to the Plugins tab on your selected form, choose “Airtable” then click the Connect to Airtable button to launch the authorization popup:

This opens an authorization window where you can sign in, then choose which Airtable Base(s) to grant access to:

Once Airtable is authorized, we’ll display each Base you granted access to.
Select which Base and Table to create new rows in from form responses, click “Save”, and you’re good to go:

Once setup, you’ll see a direct link to your chosen Airtable Base and Table for one-click access.
Connect Form Fields to Airtable
Before we dive into all the supported field types and how to use them, here’s a quick overview on how to connect a form field to an Airtable column.
For each form field that you wish to sync to an Airtable column must be matched by the column name, and optionally the ’type’ of field.
🚨 Important: The Airtable column name and the form field Custom Name must be an exact match, including case sensitive, or it won’t be recognized by Airtable when processing your form response.
First, simply name the column to something of your choosing:

To associate Airtable “First Name” column with a form field, click “Edit” on the form field, select “More Options” at the bottom and enter the exact value you used in the Airtable column:

That’s the two-step process to connect an Airtable column to a form field, keep exploring below for a comprehensive guide.

The Multi-Select Field may also be used if desired, however must only include one option:

Explainer: Only one option is allowed when using the Multi-Select Field due to the flexibility of the field and associating a selected item with what you intend to be a ‘Yes’ vote to mark the Airtable checkbox as ’ticked’. If two or more Multi-Select fields are used, the field will be ignored by the Airtable Plugin.
