Dynamic n8n Forms from Airtable & Baserow Tables

This n8n workflow demonstrates a powerful feature for creating dynamic forms based on Airtable or Baserow table schemas. Using a form trigger, users select a database and table, after which the workflow fetches the table's schema and converts it into n8n's form fields JSON schema via a code node. This enables fully dynamic form generation without manual field configuration, making it ideal for reusable form builders.

Upon form submission, the workflow transforms the input data back into the table's API format and creates a new row. File and attachment fields are handled separately: files are uploaded and stored first, then their references are updated in the new row. This approach bypasses native form limitations in Airtable and Baserow while leveraging n8n's flexibility.

Benefits include significant time savings on form development, scalability across multiple tables, and enhanced user accessibility via n8n's shareable forms. Use cases span marketing surveys, business directory submissions, lead capture, and any scenario requiring dynamic data intake from structured databases. It's particularly valuable for teams managing multiple Airtable bases or Baserow workspaces.

Requirements: Airtable or Baserow account with API access, and a public n8n instance. Customization is straightforward—extend for additional databases or add validation logic in the code nodes.
