1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the integration of Typeform entries into Airtable, first, access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you are new, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account; existing users can simply log in.

After logging in, you will land on the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it something like ‘Typeform to Airtable’. This workflow will allow you to automate the data transfer from Typeform to Airtable.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Typeform

Next, we will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the workflow, you will see a trigger window. Select Typeform as the application. Then, from the trigger event dropdown, choose ‘New Entry’. This action will allow Pabbly Connect to capture new form submissions.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Typeform account. If prompted, choose ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Typeform account. Once authorized, select the form you want to monitor for new submissions from the dropdown list.

• Select the form you created in Typeform.
• Click on ‘Save and Test Request’ to begin capturing data.

After saving, Pabbly Connect will be in a waiting state for a response. To test this, you’ll need to submit a dummy entry through your Typeform.

3. Submitting a Dummy Entry in Typeform

Now, go to your Typeform account and access the form you created. Use the share link to open the form in a new tab. Fill out the form with dummy data, such as a name, email, and department, and click ‘Submit’. This submission will serve as a test to ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the data correctly. using Pabbly Connect

Upon submission, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. You should see that the dummy submission data has been captured successfully. The data fields like first name, last name, email, and department will be displayed in the response section.

• Ensure that the response data reflects your dummy submission.
• Confirm that all fields are correctly displayed in Pabbly Connect.

With the data captured, you can now proceed to the next step of sending this information to Airtable.

4. Configuring the Action to Create Records in Airtable

In this step, we will configure the action in Pabbly Connect to send the captured data to Airtable. In the action window, search for Airtable and select it. From the action event dropdown, choose ‘Create Record’. This will enable you to add new records into your Airtable database.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and choose ‘Add New Connection’. You will need your Airtable API key for this. To find your API key, go to your Airtable account settings and copy the API key from the account page. Paste it into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’.

Select the base where you want to add the new record. Choose the table where the data will be stored.

After mapping the base and table, you will need to map the fields from Typeform to Airtable. This includes first name, last name, email, contact number, and department. Once all fields are correctly mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing

After configuring the action, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a positive response indicating that the data has been successfully added to Airtable.

Go to your Airtable account and check the designated table. You should see the new record reflecting the dummy data you submitted through Typeform. This confirms that the integration is working as intended. Every new submission in Typeform will now automatically create a new record in Airtable through Pabbly Connect.

To further test, submit another entry in Typeform and check if it appears in Airtable. This will ensure that your automation is functioning properly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Typeform entries into Airtable allows for efficient data management. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of adding new records seamlessly. This integration saves time and ensures accurate data handling in your workflows.
