Before you start
This guide assumes you’ve already connected Air Fill to Airtable. If you haven’t, see Connect Air Fill to Airtable first.
Create the form
When you open Air Fill for the first time, you’ll see “No forms yet” with a “New form” button. (Once you have forms, the floating + in the corner does the same thing.)
- Tap “New form”. A sheet titled “New form” opens.
- If you’ve connected more than one token or base, choose one under “Connection” — this is the token and base the form will write to.
- Under “Table”, tap the table you want to build from. If there are a lot of tables, a search field appears to help you find it.
- If the table has views, a “Fields from” option appears. Choose “Whole table” to start with every field, or pick a named view to start with just the fields shown in that view.
- Optionally, set a “Name (optional)”. Leave it blank and Air Fill names the form after the base and table.
- Tap “Create”.
Air Fill fills the form with every writable field from your table or view. Read-only and computed fields are left out, and attachment fields aren’t added automatically on the free plan.
Find your way around the editor
The form editor opens with a segmented pill at the top to switch between “Build”, “Preview”, and “Submissions”. “Preview” shows the real form so you can see exactly what a respondent will, without submitting anything.
Set up the form
In “Build”, the “Form” section holds the basics:
- Title, Intro, Submit button label, and Confirmation message.
- Whether the form “Creates records” or “Edits records”.
Below that, your fields are listed. These are the fields from your Airtable table — Text, Long Text, Number, Date, Single Select, Linked Record, Checkbox, and so on.
Adjust a field
Tap any field to open its settings, where you can:
- Toggle “Required”.
- Choose an “Input style” — for example Choices Bar, Choice Cards, Rating, Signature, Barcode Scan, or File Upload.
- Set a “Default value”.
Rearrange and manage fields
Drag a field to reorder it. Swipe a field to “Move” it to another section. To add, remove, or move fields in bulk, tap the “Manage fields” row — it has an “In this form” list and an “Available fields” list.
Choose a layout
Under “Layout”, pick how the form is arranged: “Single scroll”, “Section headers”, or “Multi-page”.
Save your form
When it looks right, tap “Save” at the top right.
A note on the free plan
The free plan keeps one saved form. When you try to create a second, Air Fill shows the “Unlimited forms” upgrade, which lets you save more than one form. It’s a Pro feature, so you can build and refine your first form fully before deciding whether you need it.
