Dynamically Generate Forms from Airtable Schemas
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly create custom forms that sync directly with your Airtable bases. This workflow transforms your Airtable schema into an interactive web form, streamlining data collection and ensuring data integrity.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the creation of web forms by introspecting your Airtable bases. It starts by listening for form submissions, then fetches the schema of your specified Airtable base and table. It intelligently converts Airtable field types into corresponding n8n form field types, including support for text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, and even file uploads. Unsupported field types are filtered out to ensure a clean and usable form. Finally, it renders a dynamic form that populates with your Airtable's structure, ready to collect data that seamlessly flows back into your base.
Key Features
- Airtable Schema Integration: Automatically maps Airtable fields to web form elements.
- Dynamic Form Generation: Creates forms that adapt to your Airtable structure without manual configuration.
- Multi-Field Type Support: Handles various Airtable field types including text, numbers, dates, selects, and attachments.
- File Upload Capabilities: Allows users to upload files directly through the generated form.
- No-Code Automation: Build powerful data collection solutions without writing extensive code.

Covert to n8n Form Fieldsnode intelligently translates Airtable field types into n8n form field configurations. - Unsupported Field Filtering: The
Filter Unsupported FieldTypesnode removes any Airtable fields that cannot be directly represented in the form. - Field Aggregation: The

Files To Listnode processes and prepares these files for potential further actions.
