- Data Analysts: Individuals looking to automate the collection of submission data from forms into Airtable for analysis.
- Product Managers: Professionals who want to streamline the process of gathering user feedback and insights directly from web forms.
- Small Business Owners: Entrepreneurs looking for a low-code solution to manage customer inquiries and submissions without extensive coding knowledge.
- Manual Data Entry: Eliminates the need for manual entry of form submission data into Airtable, saving time and reducing human error.
- Data Organization: Automatically organizes incoming submission data into a structured format within Airtable, making it easier to analyze and manage.
- Integration Challenges: Provides a seamless connection between Netlify forms and Airtable, allowing users to leverage the strengths of both platforms without complex integrations.
1. Manual Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually, allowing users to control when the automation runs.
2. Netlify Trigger: Upon receiving a form submission event (submissionCreated), the workflow captures the relevant data from the Netlify form, including the user's name, email, and role.
3. Set Node: The captured data is formatted and prepared for the next step. The values for Name, Email, and Role are extracted from the submission data.
4. Airtable Node: Finally, the formatted data is appended to the specified table in Airtable, ensuring that all submissions are logged and easily accessible for further analysis.
- Change Trigger Event: Modify the event parameter in the Netlify Trigger node to listen for different form events, such as submissionUpdated.
- Adjust Form and Site IDs: Update the formId and siteId in the Netlify Trigger node to connect to different forms hosted on Netlify.
- Modify Data Fields: In the Set node, users can add or remove fields based on the specific data they want to capture from the form submissions.
- Update Airtable Configuration: Change the table parameter in the Airtable node to direct submissions to a different table or adjust the application ID for a different Airtable base.
