Creating/Connecting a SmartSuite Form in Fillout

Connect Fillout to SmartSuite with your API key and Workspace ID, then map form fields to create or update records.

Written by Emma Montgomery

Fillout forms create or update SmartSuite records: connect SmartSuite in Fillout with your API key and Workspace ID, choose the solution and table, and map the form fields. Every submission reaches SmartSuite through the REST API and counts toward the workspace's monthly API allowance.

Plan Availability

All plan types. Fillout requests count toward the monthly API allowance (25,000 on Team, 100,000 on Professional, 500,000 on Enterprise, custom on Signature).

Permissions

Any member with an API key; the connection acts with that member's permissions. Fillout needs its own account.
