Connect Gravity Forms and Airtable

Send Gravity Forms entries into Airtable bases where your team sorts, filters and builds views. Applications, bookings and orders become records in the right table, with dates and names cleaned on the way. It is for WordPress sites that collect data with Gravity Forms and manage it in Airtable.

When Gravity Forms 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

Gravity Forms 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.

Save each Gravity Forms entry as an Airtable record

Every submission becomes a row in your chosen table with each answer in its own field, so the base is the one place the team reviews new entries.

Route several forms into the right table

One workflow can serve many forms. A Router checks the form title, so volunteer sign-ups, donations and event bookings each land in their own table of the same base.

Let people update their own record with a pre-filled form

Send members a link that carries their Airtable record ID in a hidden field. When they change their details, Update Record edits the existing row instead of adding a duplicate.

Remove a record when someone asks to be deleted

A data removal form with the record ID runs Get Record to confirm the email matches, and a Filter allows Delete Record only on a match.

Store dates and names in a format Airtable sorts

Date/Time Formatter turns the date picker answer into the format your date field expects and Text Formatter fixes capitals, so views sort and group properly.

Tag feedback by topic before it is saved

An AI Agent reads the free-text answer and picks a topic and sentiment from your list, so the feedback table can be filtered by theme from day one.

Set up: each entry as a record

When you are done, every entry on your chosen Gravity Forms form adds one record to an Airtable table.

  1. Prepare the table

    In Airtable, create the table with one field for each form answer you want to keep, using matching field types.

  2. Connect Airtable

    In FlowMattic, open Connects and add an Airtable connection that can reach the base.

  3. Start from the form

    Create a workflow with Gravity Forms and New Form Submission, select the form and send one test entry.

  4. Create the record

    Add an Airtable step with Create Record, choose the base and table, map each answer to its field, test it and switch the workflow on.

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

  • Gravity Forms has no actions here, so Airtable's New Record trigger cannot hand data back to a form. Every workflow on this pair starts with a Gravity Forms entry.
  • Update Record and Delete Record need the Airtable record ID, so they suit forms where the ID is passed in, for example through a hidden field on a pre-filled link.
  • The mapping above is an example. Field names depend on your form and your table, so add the Airtable fields before you map them.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Gravity Forms and Airtable connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Entries pass through your server

Applications and personal details go from your WordPress site to Airtable without a stop in another company's automation account.

Busy forms cost nothing extra

Runs are unlimited, so a registration form that takes thousands of entries in a week needs no plan change.

Clean data before it lands

Formatters, Filters and an AI Agent sit between the form and the base, so records arrive ready to sort and report on.

Common questions

How do I set up a Gravity Forms Airtable integration?

Connect Airtable in FlowMattic, start a workflow with the Gravity Forms New Form Submission trigger, and add a Create Record step that maps each answer to an Airtable field. Test it with a real entry and switch it on.

Can file uploads from Gravity Forms reach Airtable?

Map the file upload answer, which holds the link to the uploaded file, into a URL or text field in Airtable so reviewers can open it from the record.

Can one entry write to two tables?

Yes. Add a second Create Record step pointed at another table, for example one for the person and one for their booking.

Will editing an entry in WordPress change the Airtable record?

No. The trigger runs on new submissions only. To change a record, use a form that passes the record ID and an Update Record step.

Can I stop spam entries from reaching Airtable?

Yes. Add a Filter after the trigger that checks a field, such as a required consent box or an email domain, and only lets matching entries continue to Create Record.
