The miniExtensions Form allows you to create, as well as view and update existing Airtable records – all without direct access to Airtable! Any new records created by your users will be saved to Airtable immediately.

Every completed submission creates a new record directly in Airtable. You decide which fields users can complete and how the form should present them. Learn more about all form features here.

Have a look at the live demo below to create a new Airtable record using our form, or click here to open it in a new tab.

You can see what the underlying data looks like in Airtable by opening the view linked below.

Control what goes into each record

Choose which Airtable fields users can and must complete and present them in a form designed around the workflow.

The form can collect a straightforward set of answers or support a more involved submission containing attachments, related information, calculated values, and multiple records.

This makes the same record-creation workflow suitable for anything from a short contact form to a detailed application or order.

Create related records in the same workflow

Many Airtable workflows involve more than one record.

An order might contain several line items. A project might include multiple tasks. An application might include related people, documents, or qualifications.

With the linked-record and line-item functionality, users can select existing linked records or add and edit related records while completing the main form.

The resulting records retain the relationships your Airtable workflow depends on.

Show computed Airtable values while a record is being created

Airtable formulas, lookups, rollups, and other computed fields normally need a record to exist before they can calculate a result.

The Save & Continue feature can save an in-progress record to Airtable while the user is completing the form. This allows computed values to become available during the record-creation process.

For example, a form could show a calculated price, total, score, remaining balance, or other value based on the information entered so far.

Users can also save their progress and return later when a form cannot be completed in one session.

Create new records or update existing ones

If users need to return to information already stored in Airtable, use the view and edit existing records workflow instead. The same Form product can support both record creation and record updating.
