AirTable + Typeform

Instead of using TypeForm, you may want to take a look at Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout lets you drag-and-drop your Airtable fields onto your form, so you don’t need to do double data entry in both locations.

If the field exists in one place, it will automatically exist in the other place. 

And you can never lose any data because it stores all of your form submissions on their website.

Also, Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, pre-fetch dynamic data from an Airtable record, customize the style and branding of your form, customize a theme for your form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, add a login page to your form, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

• Using Fillout to update an existing Airtable record & create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

p.s. If you have a budget for your project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with any of this, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consulting — ScottWorld

I don't think you're missing anything. Typeform needs to know which Airtable fields to put what data in and so that mapping process needs to be done; I had to do a similar thing for Jotform too
