1. Connect to Airtable

2. Select your base and table

Give your connection a name or description in the first field. This name is only internal within Tally and helps if you have multiple Airtable integrations on the same form.
Next, select your Airtable account from the dropdown or click the + icon to connect a new account. Then, select the base you want to connect with Tally, followed by the table in the dropdown.

3. Map your fields

Now, map your Tally form blocks to your Airtable fields. For example, if you have a user feedback form, you might have the following blocks in your Tally form:
  • Short answer block to capture respondent names
  • Short answer block asking where respondents heard about your product or company
  • Rating block asking respondents to rate your product or service

To map these in Airtable, create:
  • A Single line text field titled “Name”
  • A Single line text field titled “How did you hear about us?”
  • A Rating field titled “Rating”

Then, match them accordingly during your integration setup in Tally. Click + Add field to add more fields.
