# Sync form results to a database

> Store form responses in a Zite Database to add multiple tables, custom fields, views, and more.

## What is Zite Database?

[Zite Database](https://www.zite.com/database) is a no-code database that combines the flexibility of a database with the familiarity of a spreadsheet. It lets you store, organize, and manage data from your forms and other tools without writing code. By connecting Fillout to Zite Database, you can:

* Organize submissions across multiple tables
* Combine responses from multiple forms into one centralized database
* Create different views of your data without changing the original records
* Pre-fill forms with existing database records to save time and improve data accuracy
* Let respondents select from database records similar to a dynamic dropdown
* Automatically calculate totals, scores, and other values using database formulas
* Use your database as a lightweight CRM, project tracker, client portal, and more

### What syncing supports

When your Fillout form is connected to a Zite Database, you can:

* Create new records from form submissions
* [Update existing records](https://www.fillout.com/help/update-with-forms) with form data
* [Pre-fetch](https://www.fillout.com/help/pre-fetch-data) existing data into forms
* [Use login forms](https://www.fillout.com/help/use-login-forms) to sync data

## Link your form to a Zite database

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Zite Database">
    Open your form and click the `Integrate` tab at the top. Select `Zite Database` from the list of integrations.

    Alternatively, you can click `Results` on top followed by `Link to database`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose database option">
    Pick **New database** to create a fresh database for this form, or use an **Existing database**.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/YQawwuOhESQFP0L0/images/Screenshot2026-01-07at4.59.59PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=YQawwuOhESQFP0L0&q=85&s=c2d6ac0587ceb27e3795d52af7193f9f" alt="Screenshot 2026 01 07 At 4 59 59 PM" title="Screenshot 2026 01 07 At 4 59 59 PM" style={{ width:"62%" }} width="792" height="526" data-path="images/Screenshot2026-01-07at4.59.59PM.png" />

    If you choose an **existing database**, you'll have the option to select a **table**  as well.

    If you choose an **existing database**, you'll have the option to select a **table** as well.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/6yntw0Bx6kX1fxSI/images/Screenshot2026-03-03at6.06.54PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=6yntw0Bx6kX1fxSI&q=85&s=189b6ea0262a1466e90e15999902ace2" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 03 At 6 06 54 PM" title="Screenshot 2026 03 03 At 6 06 54 PM" style={{ width:"62%" }} width="888" height="550" data-path="images/Screenshot2026-03-03at6.06.54PM.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="View your data">
    Your form is now linked to a database! You can view responses in two places:

    * **From your form**: Click the [Results](https://www.fillout.com/help/results) tab at the top where you can update or [edit responses](https://www.fillout.com/help/edit-submissions#edit-form-submissions).
    * **From the database**: Navigate to your database and click the `Forms` tab to see all linked forms

          <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/uLIMop-WoSL5OdcQ/images/zitedbtabs.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uLIMop-WoSL5OdcQ&q=85&s=2104e80bda754cd1fd344f2e714fcee3" alt="zitedbtabs.png" width="2308" height="790" data-path="images/zitedbtabs.png" />

    New responses sync to your database in real time. Any responses collected before linking are automatically imported.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Linking multiple forms

You can connect multiple Fillout forms to the same Zite database. All submissions from connected forms are **stored in one place**, making it easier to:

* Combine related form submissions
* Create unified dashboards
* Streamline data management

To do this, follow the steps above for each Fillout form, and **select the same database** when connecting.

## Create a form with your database

If you already have an existing Zite database, you can convert it into a form in a few minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Forms page">
    On the top of your database, click `Forms` followed by `+ Create`.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at5.44.17PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=5f3d7cd89622238e4063308dc5ddd3cf" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.44.17 PM.png" width="2638" height="1438" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at5.44.17PM.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make a new form">
    Choose to `Create` a **new form**.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.02.11PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=95546c59ac1a36bea3b57a604db07d2e" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.02.11 PM.png" title="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.02.11 PM.png" style={{ width:"54%" }} width="874" height="582" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.02.11PM.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="View form">
    `Open form`.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at5.46.23PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=722782fc5263eddd41b09d239d08411d" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.46.23 PM.png" title="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.46.23 PM.png" style={{ width:"54%" }} width="860" height="663" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at5.46.23PM.png" />

    Zite automatically builds the form for you, using your database column headers as the fields. Open [Theme](https://www.fillout.com/help/themes#customize-a-theme) to style your form.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.11.00PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=21cb60edb954fe0e555068f2050f3f98" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.11.00 PM.png" width="2641" height="1439" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.11.00PM.png" />

    If you link to an **existing form**, it will redirect to the form's `Integrate` page where you can [connect to your Zite database](https://www.fillout.com/help/sync-form-results#link-your-form-to-a-zite-database).

    ### Add new fields

    From your form, click a [Fillout field](https://www.fillout.com/help/question-types), and enter a label for the column that will appear in your Zite database.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_EaHLBkN-u6-Yq4C/images/commentsdatabasesample.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_EaHLBkN-u6-Yq4C&q=85&s=2fe6698e52e2cd686f0e0d076814dac4" alt="comments database sample.png" title="comments database sample.png" style={{ width:"57%" }} width="805" height="453" data-path="images/commentsdatabasesample.png" />

    Alternatively, you can add a new column directly from your database.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.21.31PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=d05134276276b77a843b5dff258698a5" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.21.31 PM.png" title="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.21.31 PM.png" style={{ width:"58%" }} width="654" height="282" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.21.31PM.png" />

    Go back to your form and click <Icon icon="arrows-rotate-reverse" />. Then, drag the new field into your form.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/fillout-005a867b/_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y/images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.21.49PM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_2guzxOKeyKHGa1Y&q=85&s=63a0edd2695c1259b38cd01564169933" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.21.49 PM.png" title="Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 6.21.49 PM.png" style={{ width:"41%" }} width="571" height="398" data-path="images/Screenshot2025-12-11at6.21.49PM.png" />

### Storage limits

Zite Database's storage limits may vary according to your plan. Total attachment storage refers to the cumulative amount across all databases within an organization.

|                          | **Free**    | **Pro**     | **Business** | **Team**    | Enterprise  |
| ------------------------ | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- |
| Database records         | 5,000       | 100,000     | 250,000      | 1,000,000   | 1,000,000+  |
| Max file size per upload | Up to 20 MB | Up to 20 MB | Up to 20 MB  | Up to 20 MB | Up to 20 MB |
| Total attachment storage | 1 GB        | 10 GB       | 100 GB       | 100 GB      | 1 TB+       |

Once a Fillout form is connected to a Zite database, each stored submission counts toward your Zite database record limit. If the form isn't connected to a Zite database, submissions only count toward your monthly Fillout form submission limit.

## What happens next

Once linked, every form submission creates a new record in your database. You can:

* View and edit responses directly in the database
* Add internal fields that aren't collected through your form
* Enrich database records with custom fields, internal notes, and statuses
* [Build apps](https://www.fillout.com/help/database/build-apps#create-an-app) on top of your form data
* Use the REST API to access your responses programmatically

<Check>
  Form responses sync instantly to your database. Any changes you make in the database won't affect the original form submission.
</Check>

## Common use cases

By connecting Fillout with Zite Database, you can easily build workflows for things like:

* **CRM Systems:** Manage leads, contacts, and customer interactions in one place
* **Project Management:** Track tasks, progress, and deadlines across teams
* **Event Registration:** Collect, organize, and update attendee information in a database
* **Inventory Tracking:** Monitor stock levels, updates, and product movements in real time
* **Client Portals:** Let users view and update their own records securely through forms
* **Feedback Collection:** Centralize responses and analyze them using views and formulas
