Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Typeform to Airtable? ▼

There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.

Is the connection between Typeform and Airtable secure? ▼

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Typeform security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? ▼

This is typically a one-way sync: Typeform → Airtable. Changes in Airtable do not sync back to Typeform.

Will existing data in Typeform sync to Airtable? ▼

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.

Why does Typeform responses do not appear as records in Airtable? ▼

This is a known issue (~70% of users). Common cause: Airtable Base/Table Selection Error. Typical fix time: 5 minutes. Many teams solve this with Make's visual mapping tools or n8n for self-hosted control.

Can I sync custom fields? ▼

Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.
