Hi, I have connected Jotform with my Airtable. Everything works perfectly fine. Information was able to save on Airtable appropriate. I chose the E-signature widget on Jotform, is there any way I can save it on Airtable as an image? or what should I do with it?

Any suggestion?

I would be interested as well.


Me too! Anyone got this figured out yet? Don’t want to go down the zapier/re-direct form filler route as its just a simple form but filled many times.


Not exactly what you’re asking for, but we’ve built an extension that allows you to collect signatures using Airtable form. They would get uploaded to Airtable as image attachments.

Hey Moe. Watched the video and it seems pretty slick. Can you contact me directly?


Hi @Panda_lover / @Will_Charlton

If you set jotform to autoupdate a google sheet, it will include a url to the signature image. Then you can use an integromat automation (or whatever - honestly I bet airtable’s automations could do this) to add any new google sheet entry as a new record on airtable. If the url is mapped to an attachment field, airtable will download the image to your record.

The extra step is annoying but it works seamlessly*.

*The signature files can’t be private during the sync. If that isnt a problem and you can leave them public, then it works seamlessly.

Hope this helps!

  1. You might be able to accomplish this by using Make’s JotForm integrations in conjunction with Make’s Airtable integrations to bring the signature into Airtable.

    However, Make is very challenging to learn for the first time, so if you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.
  1. However, a much better & simpler way of doing all of this is to NOT use JotForm at all.

    One of the easiest (and cheapest) ways of doing this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

    I show how to do this step-by-step on this Airtable podcast episode:
    Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.

    Fillout 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.

    Here’s another podcast episode where I show off a few more of the advanced features of Fillout: Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Hope this helps!
