How to Send Fluent Forms Submissions to Airtable

Airtable is a database platform. Here is how to pipe Fluent Forms submissions straight into Airtable using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Airtable. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Fluent Forms installed and at least one form.
• A Airtable account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Airtable to AFI

1. Log in to Airtable and open the base you want to connect.
2. Go to Account → API Keys and generate a Personal Access Token.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Airtable.
4. Enter your Base ID and API Key, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Fluent Forms to Airtable.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Fluent Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select Airtable as the destination

Choose Airtable from the platform dropdown and pick Create Record. This creates a new record in an Airtable base.

4. Map fields

Match each Airtable field on the left to the corresponding Fluent Forms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your Fluent form and submit. Check Airtable to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps name, email, and standard fields to Airtable with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping for all Airtable column types. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple Fluent Forms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
