do57Q: Data from extern source into Teable (CRM usecase)
I would like to set up a CRM that I can also share with my clients (protected by a password within the app). I would then have two tables — login credentials and CRM data — as well as one app, which represents the CRM itself. All three components would run within a single base.
The CRM data should be populated via an Elementor form. Currently, the form submissions are sent to n8n, where they are processed and then written into a Google Sheet.
My question is: can I also connect Teable directly within the n8n automation to send the data into a Teable table, or is it mandatory to use Teable’s internal automations (and credits) to transfer the form data into Teable?

Feb 27, 2026A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out with your use case.
To answer your main question directly: Yes, you can connect Teable directly within your n8n automation to send data into a Teable table. It is not mandatory to use Teable’s internal automations for this process.
Here is a breakdown of how this works:
Data Integration with n8n: You can configure n8n to push your Elementor form submissions directly into your Teable database using our API. Because the automation logic and execution occur within n8n, this specific data transfer process does not consume your Teable automation credits.
Pro Tip for API Setup: To assist with your integration, you can go to any table, click the "More" menu (top right), and select "API". There, you will find an "AI Doc" containing the context of your table structure, fields, and API endpoints. You can copy this AI Doc and paste it into an AI assistant (like ChatGPT or Claude). It will use your data structure to help generate the specific API calls needed for your n8n HTTP Request node.
Would you like me to share our API documentation?
