How to Send Ninja Forms Submissions to Airtable

Airtable is a database platform. Every Ninja Forms submission should flow into Airtable without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Airtable. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Ninja 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 Ninja Forms to Airtable.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Ninja 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 Ninja 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 Ninja 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 success message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple Ninja Forms?

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