What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow automates the entire process of handling Tally form submissions. Every time someone fills out your Tally form, the response automatically flows into Airtable for organized storage, while you receive an instant notification in Slack. No manual data entry, no checking your email repeatedly — just seamless automation that keeps your team informed and your data organized.
How It Works
The workflow operates through a simple three-step automation chain:
- A webhook receives your Tally form submission in real-time
- The form data is processed and stored directly into your Airtable base
- Simultaneously, a formatted Slack message alerts your team about the new submission
The entire process happens instantly, with optional wait times between steps if needed for timing adjustments. This ensures your form responses are captured, stored, and communicated without any manual intervention.
