  1. 1

    Add the Jotform Trigger node

    Start with a Jotform Trigger node — connect your Jotform API key and pick the Form to watch. n8n receives each submission as it happens. This fires the workflow the moment a new submission arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: name to {{ $json.rawRequest.q3_name }}, email to {{ $json.rawRequest.q4_email }}, and submitted_at to {{ $now.toISO() }} — match the qN_ keys to your form. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Airtable

    Add an Airtable node set to operation Create. Connect your Airtable token, pick the Base and Table, and map the fields from the Set node to your Airtable columns. Field names must match your table exactly.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test submission in Jotform, then confirm it appears in Airtable. Once it works, you're done — every new submission now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Jotform and Airtable accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

What happens if my n8n workflow is off when a submission comes in?

It depends on the source. Services like Stripe, Shopify and HubSpot retry webhook deliveries for a period, so events are processed once the workflow is back on. For the most reliable capture, run this on n8n Cloud (always online) or keep your self-hosted instance up.

Can I send each submission to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same submission lands in Airtable and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
