So I’ve been trying to build a simple internal tool for my team to track project requests, and I hit a wall trying to connect our Airtable base to a simple web form without writing a single line of code. I thought this was supposed to be the whole point of these platforms, but I’m stuck on the automation step. Has anyone else run into this? I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

That blend of hope and frustration hits hard I know the Airtable dream of a simple form that auto posts to a table and then the snag shows up

Airtable automations work best when you pair a trigger with a clear action and sometimes the trigger does not fire if the field mapping is off or if the base permissions block it

I used to assume you could just drop a form and it would push data straight into the base but there is a mapping step and a test you must do

Maybe the wall is not the code but the plan and the limits on automation runs in the free tier they add up

It can help to reframe the task as which team member owns what after the submit and how the info travels to a task list rather than chasing a single pipe

Some folks get tangled in form design and expectations the craft of asking for the right fields matters just as much as the connection

Have you tried a tiny test with a single field to see if Airtable gets the data as expected before you invest in a bigger form
