Airtable<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Airtable<\/strong> is a cloud-based, flexible spreadsheet-database hybrid platform that lets users organize, collaborate on, and manage data in customizable tables with features like attachments, automation, and integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airtable add-on<\/strong> allows you to seamlessly integrate WordPress form submissions directly to your Airtable tables, transforming how you manage and analyze form data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The add-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Airtable API<\/a> can be used to integrate your data in Airtable with any external system. The API closely follows REST semantics, uses JSON to encode objects, and relies on standard HTTP codes to signal operation outcomes. To talk with this API, the add-on implements a custom bridge class based on the generic REST bridge that requires Bearer credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Airtable bridge<\/strong> will store your form submissions as entries in your Aritable spreadsheets. Each field of your forms will be translated to a table column, and every form submission inserted as a new row of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the add-on comes with a bridge template to create dynamic forms based on your tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to use the add-on is to activate it in the add-ons table in the general settings tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once activated, a new tab named Airtable<\/strong> will be visible in the settings page. If it’s your first time, it should looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The template wizard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The recommended way to set up a new bridge is to use the template as a starter point. The add-on’s template wizard will set up a new Bearer credential, a backend connection and a form, all of them linked with a new bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this setup ready, you can edit the bridge’s form to fit your requirements or manually add new forms and bridge them with the backend \/ credential you’ve configured on the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The template wizard will lead you through four steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this step, Forms Bridge will register a new Bearer credential. To set up this authentication, you have to register a new Personal Access Token<\/a> in the Airtable Builder Hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When registering the Personal Access Token you should grant the following scopes to the token:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
