Allow users to create or edit specific records directly via unique, shareable links. For example, send a URL to update order details.
While the Airtable Form is great for simple tasks, it does not allow you to edit existing records. Our Free Form fixes that! The Free Form offers almost all features of the Airtable Form, but also gives you the ability to edit records. If you’re looking for even more functionality, check out our Advanced Form, which offers over 100 additional features that cover just about any use case!
How do people access their records?
You can generate a Direct Link for every record in your table, using a formula field. When those URLs are accessed, the form will be loaded with the data that exists in Airtable for that particular record. Once the person saves their changes on our form, the Airtable record is instantly updated to reflect those changes.
💡Editing Records
You can use miniExtensions Form to update existing records that you have in Airtable, as well as create new records. Records edited or created with our form are instantly saved to Airtable, without any delay!
