How Filla and Airtable work together

Filla doesn’t store your form submissions — they go straight to your Airtable base. Connecting Airtable is how Filla knows where to write your data, not how it accesses it. Most form tools (Typeform, Jotform, Fillout) host submissions on their own servers and sync to Airtable downstream. Filla works the other way around: your Airtable base is the database. That’s why connecting at least one base is required before you can build anything.

​
Connecting your account

Filla connects to Airtable via OAuth 2.0. You authorize Filla without ever sharing your Airtable password.
1

Click Connect my base

From the empty Forms / Tools / Documents page or from workspace Settings → Connect Airtable.
2

Read the consent primer

A short dialog explains what you’ll see on Airtable’s screen and which option to pick. There are two paths on Airtable’s consent page:
  • Add all resources (recommended) — gives Filla access to every base across every workspace, including any you add later. Set it once and you won’t come back to adjust.
  • Add a base — pick specific bases now. Adding a new base later means reconnecting.
Pick “Add all resources” unless you have strict access requirements.
3

Continue to Airtable

Click Connect my base to open Airtable’s authorization page. Sign in if prompted, pick the scope, then click Grant access.
4

You're back in Filla

Airtable redirects you back. The empty state disappears and you’re ready to build.
Make sure the workspace or base you authorize contains at least one base with tables. If Filla returns from OAuth to an empty scope, your forms have nowhere to send submissions to. The Forms page will show a “no bases came through” hero with a button to re-open Airtable’s consent screen and include a base.

​
What Filla accesses

PermissionWhat it does
Read base schemaSees your tables, fields, and views so you can configure forms and tools
Read recordsFetches records for linked record pickers, processor tools, and edit-mode forms
Write recordsCreates new records from form submissions and updates records from processor tools
Read/write commentsPowers the comments feed on form submissions

​
Revoking access

You can disconnect Filla at any time:
  1. Go to airtable.com/account
  2. Scroll to Integrations
  3. Find Filla and click Revoke
Revoking access will immediately stop all forms and processor tools from working. Reconnect Airtable in your workspace settings to restore them.

​
Troubleshooting

Filla automatically refreshes your Airtable token. If you see this error, go to workspace settings and click Reconnect Airtable to re-authorize.
Filla can only access bases you authorized during the OAuth flow. If you originally picked “Add a base” instead of “Add all resources,” any base you create later won’t be visible until you reconnect. Click Reconnect in workspace settings (or use the Choose a base button on the no-bases empty state) and include the new base — or re-authorize with “Add all resources” so future bases appear automatically.
The Airtable workspace you picked doesn’t contain any bases. Filla needs at least one base to route submissions to. Open Airtable again from the no-bases empty state on the Forms page, and pick a workspace or specific base that has tables in it.
Filla syncs your base schema when you open the editor and when you return to the tab after being away. Click the Sync fields button in the editor toolbar to manually pull the latest fields from Airtable.
