    Forms uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to your Attio workspace. The connection gives Forms read access to your schema (objects, lists, attributes, and select options) and write access to create or update records from form submissions.

    Step 1: Start the connection

    Click Connect with Attio on the home page or the login screen. You will be redirected to Attio's authorization page.

    Review the permissions Forms is requesting and click Authorize. Forms requests the following scopes:

    ScopeWhy it's needed
    read_objectsRead your object and list schema to power the form builder
    read_listsRead list definitions and list attributes
    read_recordsLook up existing records for deduplication and record reference fields
    write_recordsCreate and update CRM records from submissions
    user_management:readIdentify your workspace for multi-workspace support
    file:read-writeUpload file attachments to Attio records

    Step 3: You're in

    After authorization you land in the Forms dashboard. Your workspace schema is loaded automatically: objects, lists, and all their attributes are available immediately in the form builder.

    Security

    Your OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. They are never exposed to the browser or included in any client-side response. All Attio API calls are made server-side through Forms' backend.

    Reconnecting

    If your token expires or is revoked, you will see a Reconnect to Attio button in the workspace settings. Click it to go through the OAuth flow again. Your existing forms and submissions are unaffected.

    Disconnecting

    To remove Forms from your workspace: go to Settings → Danger Zone → Disconnect. Warning: this is a destructive action. Disconnecting permanently deletes all forms and submissions associated with the workspace. Only disconnect if you are sure you no longer need the data.
