Framer forms to NocoDB: what it does
NocoDB turns a database into a spreadsheet-style app, and many teams run it on their own server to keep data in-house. FramerSend adds one row to a NocoDB table for every Framer form submission, using NocoDB's v3 Data API with your API token.
Before inserting, FramerSend reads the table's columns, so each form field lands in the column with the same title, numbers go into number columns as numbers and checkbox answers become true or false. Answers without a column are listed on the submission instead of disappearing silently.
What gets created: One new row per submission (POST /api/v3/data/{baseId}/{tableId}/records). Rows are never updated.
What FramerSend sends to NocoDB
| Framer form field | NocoDB |
|---|---|
| Every form field | Column with the same titleExact match first, then ignoring case, spaces, - and _. So first_name fills a column called First Name. |
| Number answers | Number, Decimal, Currency, Percent, Rating, YearConverted to a number; text that isn't a number leaves the cell empty instead of failing the row. |
| Checkboxes and yes/no answers | Checkboxtrue/yes/on/1 become checked. |
| Multi-choice answers | MultiSelectEach choice becomes one option. |
| Email answers | Email or text columnCleaned of spaces and common domain typos. |
| File uploads | Link textThe file is stored first and its link is written. Attachment, Links, Lookup, Formula and other computed columns are skipped. |
Set up Framer to NocoDB step by step
- 1
Prepare the table
Give the table a column for each form field, with the same title as the Framer field name (or rename the fields in Dashboard → 3. Field Mapping).
- 2
Create an API token
In NocoDB, open Account settings → Tokens → Create token. The token acts as your user, who needs Editor (or higher) access to the base.
- 3
Copy the Base ID and Table ID
Open the table: the URL contains the Base ID (starts with p) followed by the Table ID (starts with m). Both can also be copied from the base and table menus.
- 4
Connect NocoDB in the plugin or dashboard
Search for NocoDB in the FramerSend plugin or Dashboard → 2. Connect CRM. Leave NocoDB URL empty for NocoDB Cloud, or enter your self-hosted address (https://, reachable from the internet). Click Test: it reads the table's columns and lists them.
- 5
Paste the webhook URL into Framer
In Framer, select the form, open Form → Send to → Add… → Webhook, paste the FramerSend webhook URL (https://www.framersend.com/api/submit/ followed by your form ID) and publish the site.
Troubleshooting Framer to NocoDB
NocoDB rejected the API token (HTTP 401) …
Cause: The token was deleted or copied incompletely.
Fix: Create a new token in Account settings → Tokens.
NocoDB: table not found (HTTP 404/422) …
Cause: The Base ID, Table ID or NocoDB URL is wrong, or the token's user can't see the base.
Fix: Copy the IDs from the table's URL again and check the URL of a self-hosted instance.
NocoDB: none of the form fields (…) match a writable column in "…"
Cause: No form field has the title of a column; the columns are listed.
Fix: Rename the columns or the form fields, then click Retry in Dashboard → 4. Logs.
NocoDB rate limit reached (HTTP 429 …)
Cause: NocoDB allows 5 requests per second per user.
Fix: Click Retry in Dashboard → 4. Logs after a moment.
NocoDB: the URL must start with https:// …
Cause: Self-hosted address entered with http://, or an internal address such as localhost or 10.x.x.x.
Fix: Serve NocoDB over https on a public address.
NocoDB without Zapier vs with Zapier or Make
Columns checked before writing. NocoDB ignores keys it doesn't know. FramerSend reads the columns first, so mismatched field names are reported instead of being dropped without notice.
Older self-hosted versions. If the instance has no v3 API yet, FramerSend uses the v2 API of the same instance automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with a self-hosted NocoDB?
Yes, when it is reachable from the internet over https. Private and internal addresses are blocked, so an instance on localhost or a private network can't be used.
Why is an answer missing from the row?
Its field name matches no column title, or the column is computed (formula, lookup, links). The skipped fields are listed in the submission's result in Dashboard → 4. Logs.
Can uploaded files go into an Attachment column?
Not as attachments. The file is stored and its link is written to a text or URL column with the field's name.
What does the Test button check?
It reads the table's metadata with the token and lists the writable columns. Nothing is written.
How do I connect Framer to NocoDB?
Sign up for a FramerSend account (or log in). Go to Connections → Add Connection → NocoDB and add your credentials. They are stored server-side and never exposed in your Framer site, which only gets a public form URL.
Are my API keys safe?
Yes, all API credentials are encrypted at rest. The client-side code in Framer only exposes a public Form ID, keeping your private keys entirely secure.
Are there monthly submission limits?
No. FramerSend provides unlimited form submissions across all license tiers so your live website forms never get blocked during high-traffic spikes.
