*This demo is for editing a specific record. Here’s how it looks inside Airtable.

Allow users to create or edit specific records directly via unique, shareable links. For example, send a URL to update order details.

While Airtable Form is great for simple tasks, our powerful Advanced Form allows you to tackle even more complex projects. Our form allows you to do almost anything that you can do with Airtable Form, and much more. Our goal is to add every possible feature in one powerful, yet easy-to-use tool. If you are looking for a specific feature to be added, reach out to us!

miniExtensions Advanced Form

How do people access their records?

There are 2 different ways to share the form with your users:

1. Generate Unique URLs

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.

2. Add a Login Page

The form starts with a lookup page, allowing users to access and edit their specific records. For example, before the user reaches the form, this option adds a step so they can look up their records first. The customer then updates their profile info. Learn more about this feature.
