Jotform collects applications, orders and requests. Airtable turns them into a base the team can filter, assign and link. FlowMattic creates or updates the right Airtable record for each submission from your WordPress site, and can look up related records first. It suits recruiters, nonprofits, event teams and agencies running client intake.

When Jotform fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Create Record in Airtable with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Jotform and Airtable workflows you can build
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made template
Build an Airtable lead list from Jotform and email sales
Each submission becomes a record in your leads table, and Email (SMTP) tells the sales team a new lead is waiting, with the key answers in the email.
Update the record when the same person submits again
Search Record looks for the email first. A Router updates the existing record for a returning person and creates one only for someone new, so the base has one row per person.
New Form Submission→Search Record→Router→Update Record
Link each job application to the role it is for
Search Record finds the job in your roles table by title, and Create Record adds the applicant with a link to it, so each role shows its own applicants.
New Form Submission→Search Record→Create Record
Take a seat off the event when someone registers
Get Record reads the event's seats left, Number Formatter subtracts the party size, and Update Record saves the new number for whoever watches capacity.
New Form Submission→Get Record→Number Formatter→Update Record
Assign each request to a team member by type
A Lookup Table turns the request type into the owner's name, so the record arrives in Airtable already assigned and shows up in that person's view.
New Form Submission→Lookup Table→Create Record
Store uploaded files as Airtable attachments
Map the Jotform file upload URL into an attachment field, so CVs, photos or receipts sit inside the record instead of a separate download.
New Form Submission→Create Record
Set up: a lead list with an email alert
At the end, every new Jotform submission creates an Airtable record and emails your sales team.
1
Shape the table
In Airtable, create a leads table with a field per question you want to keep, plus a status field for the team.
2
Connect Jotform and Airtable
Under Connects, add your Jotform account and your Airtable account.
3
Start with New Form Submission
Create a workflow with the Jotform New Form Submission trigger, choose the form and submit a test entry.
4
Create the record
Add Airtable Create Record, choose the base and table, and map each answer to its field.
5

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
These workflows run from a Jotform submission into Airtable, so nothing is sent back to the submission. The Airtable New Record trigger can still start other workflows.
Single select and linked record fields only accept values that fit them. Make answers match the options, or use a Lookup Table first.
Answers are mapped from your own form, so the fields above are an example. Map from a test submission after any form change.

Search Record by ViewSearch for records filtered by a specific view

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Jotform and Airtable connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
A base, not a pile of emails
Submissions arrive as records you can filter, assign, link and report on, instead of notifications in an inbox.
Intake season costs the same
Runs are unlimited, so a busy application period with thousands of forms needs no bigger FlowMattic plan.
Answers pass through your site
Each submission travels from Jotform to Airtable through your own WordPress server, not another automation account.
Common questions
How do I send Jotform submissions to Airtable?
Create a workflow with Jotform New Form Submission, add Airtable Create Record, pick the base and table, and map each answer to a field. Test with a real submission and switch on.
Can I avoid duplicate records?
Yes. Use Search Record on the email field before writing. A Router then runs Update Record when a match is found and Create Record when it is not.
Can a submission link to an existing record?
Yes. Search Record finds the record to link, such as a job, event or client, and its ID goes into the linked record field of Create Record.
Can a new Airtable record start another workflow?
Yes. Airtable New Record is a trigger, so once the submission is saved another workflow can notify a reviewer or create follow-up records.
