Map the fields such as name, email, and phone number from the BoloForms response to the corresponding fields in Airtable. After mapping the data, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the data is being sent correctly.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

To ensure your automation is functioning correctly, you will need to perform a test submission using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your BoloForms account and click on the preview link of your form.

Enter the test data such as email, first name, last name, and phone number, then click ‘Submit’. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been captured successfully. You should see the details reflected in Airtable after refreshing the page.
