This extension basically copies a value from field A to field B. Which makes it possible to add a linked record to a form submission, without showing all of the existing linked records you have in your base. The extension will link the record if it matches a given value (email, name, phone, etc.) that’s submitted with the form. If a record with the same value does not exist, it will create a new record for it.
This extension is ideal for those trying to link form submissions to a linked table by matching a name, phone number, email, etc. To make linked records show up instantly, you can use the form redirect URL to trigger the extension webhook.
Demo
Make a form submission here with the following email: [email protected]
You will see that the new record will automatically be linked in this view a couple of minutes after your submission.
Troubleshooting
When a text field entry matches multiple linked records, which one will be used?
The oldest one. This extension replicates the same behavior from Airtable when you copy a value from a text field to a linked record field.
