Get answers from Form into Tables through Flow?

tristanyoung21 · June 3, 2025, 8:35am

Hi,

I am currently trying to have the results of a Form into a Table automatically. My Google-fu showed me that apparently people have managed to do it, but i havent found any details on how they did it.

Specifically, i have created a form, i have created a table, and when i go have a look at flow, it only suggest searching through the marketplace. I can’t find how to manually create one or, if i already have everything necessary, how to set it up so answers from Forms go into the Table i want.

I’m running Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.4), and Apps were installed this morning so i guess they are up to date.

@tristanyoung21 it’s currently not directly possible, there is however already a feature request:

github.com/nextcloud/forms

Insert form submission directly into Nextcloud Tables App

A form should be able to be configured to insert records into an existing Nextcl…oud Tables App table. This would make it really easy to share form data and use the Nextcloud Analytics app. This would negate the need to export data from the form app and import into the tables app.

If i got it correctly, i need to host an instance of windmill in parallel of my nextcloud AIO ?

If not, i don’t think i got the point of that github thread.

Yes, that’s what I understand, too. I don’t run Windmill myself, so unfortunately I can’t help you any further.
