Published on Mar 30th, 2024

Creating forms in Airtable is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance data collection and workflow management. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set up a customized form for your base:


Step 1: Choose Your Base


Before creating a form, select the Airtable base you wish to collect data for, making sure it contains a table with fields you want to include in the form.


Step 2: Add a Form View



  1. Go to the table where you want to collect responses.

  2. Click on the '+' sign next to your existing views on the bottom left.

  3. Choose 'Form' from the view options.


Step 3: Customize Your Form



  • Drag and drop fields to reorder them on your form.

  • Click on a field to edit its properties, such as making a field required.

  • Use the 'Add a field to this table' option if you need to include additional data fields.


Step 4: Share Your Form


Once you've tailored your form, you can share it by using the shareable form link provided by Airtable. You can embed it into your website, send it in an email, or share it across your social media platforms.


Step 5: Manage Form Submissions


As entries are submitted, they will appear as new records in your table. Manage and analyze this data within Airtable or integrate with other apps to streamline your workflow.


By following these steps, you can easily create a form on Airtable that helps you collect information and manage your projects more efficiently. Remember to test your form thoroughly before sharing it broadly to ensure a smooth data collection process!
