Auto Open a Form based on user input.

Hi Greg.

If I understand you correctly, essentially you would like a hyperlink to a different form to conditionally appear depending on the entry of question one on form1. Although there’s no way to do this cleanly necessarily, I guess you could create a field of some sort and use the Helper Text to embed a hyperlink there, but that’s not ideal. Additionally, it sounds like you wouldn’t necessarily want users submitting this form either.

I would highly recommend exploring using conditional visibility to put all your separate forms into one form. This would allow users who input different starting inputs to see and be required to fill out only the relevant fields.

Airtable can’t conditionally send users to another form nor another page after they submit a first form, but you could do all of that with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

If you stick with Airtable, your only real option there would be to create one lengthy single-page form, then add different sections/groups to your form, and conditionally set their visibility to either show or hide those groups if certain criteria is met.

However, you need to be on a Business Plan or Enterprise Plan to gain access to conditional form sections.

Alternatively, you can get conditional form sections for free with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout also offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to conditionally & instantly send people to different pages or different forms, the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields & formula fields on forms, control access to a form via SSO or email domains,, and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

• Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Thank-you both for the answer.  ​@MichaelSargent yes I’ve considered this as one work around, I was trying to keep it simple as some of my Forms with have 50+ separate fields, so these could add up.

​@ScottWorld I have explored fillout’s features.  Unfortunately my company blocks the use of 3rd party add ons with Airtable….

Hey ​@GregD,

If I’m understanding ok, I guess you could have a crazy long formula which will conditionally show different form urls depending on the type of visit?
If you have forms as part of a Record Review layout interface for example you can show on the created record (Visit record) the url of the form that should be completed next?

Hope this helps!
