What you need
- A connected Airtable account (see Connecting Airtable)
- At least one Airtable base with a table you want to collect data into
Two ways to start
When you click New Form anywhere in the dashboard you get a small picker with two paths:| Option | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Ask AI to build it | You want fields and a layout suggested from a plain-English description (“a volunteer signup with shift preferences and t-shirt size”). The AI inspects your base, drafts the spec, and asks for approval before writing anything to Airtable. See Build a form with AI. |
| Start from scratch | You already know which Airtable table and fields you want, and you’d rather drag fields onto a blank canvas. |
Creating from scratch
Click New Form → Start from scratch
From any page in the dashboard, open the New Form dropdown and pick Start from scratch. The Build-from-scratch card on the empty Forms page does the same thing.
Select a base and table
Choose the Airtable base and then the specific table where submissions should be saved. Each form is connected to exactly one table.
Name your form
Give the form a name. This is an internal label. Respondents don’t see it unless you use it as the form title.
Choosing the right table
Your form will write records to the table you select. Make sure the table:- Has the fields you want to collect (text, dates, selects, linked records, etc.)
- Is in the Airtable base you’ve already authorized Filla to access
You can always check and adjust which fields appear on the form after creation. You don’t need to plan everything upfront.
What happens after you create a form
After creating a form, Filla reads your table schema and makes all your fields available in the field palette. You can:- Drag fields onto the form canvas
- Add multiple pages
- Set up conditional logic
- Configure automations
Common questions
Can I change the connected table after creating a form?
Can I change the connected table after creating a form?
No. The table connection is set at creation and cannot be changed. If you need to point to a different table, create a new form.
Can multiple forms connect to the same table?
Can multiple forms connect to the same table?
Yes. You can create as many forms as you want pointing to the same Airtable table. This is useful for creating different intake flows for the same dataset.
What if my table has no fields?
What if my table has no fields?
Filla will still create the form, but the field palette will be empty. Add fields to your Airtable table first, then click the refresh icon in the palette to sync them.
