Airtable intake form example

Let me walk you through designing a simple intake form for an Airtable base. As the backend, I use slightly modified Order tracking and invoicing template and will design a publicly facing form for it with Plumsail Forms.

Step 1: Import template

As a starting point, I use the Access request form template.

Using a template helps avoid starting from scratch. I chose this template particularly because I like its look and the way it is broken into sections with tabs.

Browse all available templates in the gallery on the Plumsail website and pick the one you like the most.

Step 2: Connect your Airtable base to Plumsail Forms

In the form settings, go to Connection tab and click Airtable. Grant access to your workspace, and select the base and table you want to use for the form.

See the Connect Plumsail Form to Airtable for a step-by-step guide.

Step 3: Customize the form

Next, I replace form fields with fields from my Airtable base and adjust the title and description:

Step 4: Add signature to the form

To verify feedback, I add a signature control and connect it to an Attachment field in Airtable.

You can do the same and create an Airtable form with an electronic signature, which is useful for approvals, confirmations, or consent-based workflows.

Here is my final Airtable form with a signature field:

Step 5: Save and publish the form

Final step! I save and publish the form. This generates a public link that I can share with my team or embed on a page using a code snippet.

All responses submitted through the form are automatically saved to the connected Airtable base:

More Airtable form examples

There are many more form templates available in the template gallery, including templates designed for bases from the Airtable template library.

Below are a few examples you can use as starting points.

Order form

This is a simple and direct purchase order form that you can customize and use and connect to your Airtable base.

Event registration form

The template is designed for Event planning Airtable base template. All fields are already mapped to the corresponding fields in the base, so you can just connect it to your Airtable and start collecting registrations for your events.

Employee onboarding form

This form is designed to collect all necessary information from new employees. Replace fields with the ones from your Airtable base, save and share.
