Do you aspire to analyze your submission data more efficiently? You might already be harnessing the power of Airtable and are now hunting for a method to bridge Airtable with WordPress.
This post will help you actively connect your WordPress (Ninja Forms) form to Airtable using the browser version of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. This action can greatly improve your work productivity.
How to connect Airtable to WordPress
Before we dive in, make sure you have the following essentials:
1. Get set up with Zapier.
Firstly, initiate the Ninja Forms Zapier add-on on your website, effectively creating a path between WordPress and Airtable. This add-on, paired with a Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge browser, can transform your work routine significantly.
Upon completion, create an account on Airtable. Alternatively, utilize the latest desktop apps provided by Airtable to experience the latest features that can improve your work efficiency. Now you’re ready to get started!
2. Make a Zap!
Next, we’ll create a Zap! Zapier, facilitating integrations between numerous apps, dubs these integrations as Zaps. We will be fashioning a Zap that will actively tether Ninja Forms with Airtable.
Simply log into your Zapier account using the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and click “Make a Zap” on the left toolbar.
3. Setup your Zap to integrate Airtable with WordPress
Navigate to the Zap setup page, and search for Ninja Forms in the App & Event search bar.
Assign “New Form Submission” as the Trigger Event and proceed. You will see a webhook. 
Copy this, then head back to WordPress to integrate a Zapier action into your form. Paste the webhook into the appropriate Zapier Webhook field.
Following the publishing and previewing of the form, input test data into each field and finalize the form preview. Return to Zapier and select ‘Continue.’ We advocate for ‘Test & Continue’ to ensure the successful creation of the connection. If any issue surfaces, Zapier will guide you through troubleshooting steps.
Step 4. Configure the Airtable Action
Upon a successful test, you are now ready to marry WordPress to Airtable. Search and select Airtable as before. In this scenario, we aim to append a new Airtable record each time Ninja Forms obtains a new submission.
After choosing the app and the event, Zapier will prompt you to authorize your Airtable account. A pop-up will request your Airtable API key, which can be found in your Airtable account. Simply copy this key and input it into Zapier.
Having successfully integrated your Airtable account, you can now select that account in Zapier and proceed. You’ll be greeted with your Airtable fields within Zapier.
Here, you can define the base and the table you’re targeting in Airtable and map your form fields to the corresponding Airtable fields. By using the data from your prior form submission, Zapier will understand which field aligns with which.
When you press continue, Zapier will relay the data to Airtable to verify the connection!
The concluding step involves the activation of your zap. Once completed, each Ninja Forms submission will populate your Airtable.
When a new submission materializes, there’s no need to log into WordPress. Your Airtable spreadsheet will directly display the entries, allowing for immediate analysis.
Good work! Your WordPress form submissions are in Airtable.
