For sharing record information, we recommend the miniExtensions Form as the better, more flexible solution. It supports viewing records as well as creating and updating them. The standalone View Read-Only Airtable Field automation below remains available if you only need a simple link that displays one field.
View Read-Only Airtable Field generates a record-specific link that displays one selected field’s value in a browser. Share a focused piece of information without asking the recipient to open the full Airtable base.
What you can do
- Choose one field in the selected table to display.
- Generate a formula for record-specific links or Airtable buttons.
- Read the selected value when the linked page is opened.
Use cases and examples
A support team can share the status or instructions field from a particular case. Recipients see that selected field rather than a full record editor or a table of all cases.
- Client record sharing: Share a record-specific read-only field link with a client who needs to see selected information without an Airtable account. Use only content appropriate for anyone who receives that link.
How to get started
Select the table and read-only field, then copy the generated formula into an Airtable formula or button field. Open a sample link and confirm that the displayed information is appropriate to share.
Good to know
The link displays one selected field without editing. Share only information appropriate for recipients of that link.
