So many new goodies from Airtable yesterday! I did not see the JotForm integration coming, but was so excited when I read the newsletter.


After playing around with the feature, I realized that mapping JotForm Fields to Airtable’s Linked Record Fields is not supported at this time. I contacted JotForm about this and was told they put in a feature request to their backend team, but couldn’t guarantee it would happen.


No idea if this is something entirely on JotForm’s end, or if Airtable is able to help them maybe ( 🙂 ?), but I wanted to put in a word here and say how helpful enabling this feature would be. Without being able to map JotForm fields to linked record fields in Airtable, the integration is basically useless in all of my workflows.


Anyone else have any thoughts?

Is going through Zapier/Integromat an option? Its an extra step but has much more functionality.


Also, check out our product for more advanced Jotform/Airtable integration (in particular on the front end):

Thanks Dan!


I love Zapier and am already using it to push my JotForm submissions to Airtable. However, as Zaps are limited based on one’s payment plan, I was hoping I could maybe save a Zap here or there by using the new direct integration.


I took a look at the integration you suggested, and it looks pretty cool! We’re currently on the free version of JotForm, but if/when we evolve beyond that I will certainly keep this in mind. I love the idea of being able to display Airtable data within a form.

Understood on trying to save on zap/actions. makes sense.


fyi - our jotform widget (On2Air: Forms) works with free tier of Jotform as well.


We have generous non-profit discount (Im assuming you’re with NEADS)

If you use fillout.com instead of jotform, they support it. They also support a TON of other cool stuff, like displaying information on the form based on options chosen, etc..


You would be required to use a tool like Make’s JotForm integrations along with Make’s Airtable integrations to get your JotForm submissions into Airtable.

However, it is no longer recommended to use JotForm anymore, so I would strongly advise against it.

The #1 best form app for Airtable is Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, which was designed from the ground up to work with Airtable and all Airtable field types.

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, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, 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:
