Greetings,

Is there a way to customize Airtable forms in the following way? I'm building a very basic template of a SignUp system for clients, and I want to build an Airtable-only solution for them that they can use without needing to use Zapier, Fillout, Wufoo, etc.

I would like to update the "+" sign in the Airtable form question below so it says something like "+Select Your Session" or to make it a custom image, or something like that. Is there any way to do this through a script, CSS, etc.??? The form looks good overall, but the lone "+" sign really isnt' very user friendly, IMO.

TIA,

ML

 

Not that I am aware of. Airtable forms don't offer much flexibility/customization options.

 

I've been migrating many of my forms to Fillout when I need added functionality. Any reason to not use another service? From the client standpoint, a form is a form. I can understand that having to manage forms through another service adds more work to you/the base manager's end though.

Hopefully Airtable will eventually add the form features that many users are needing to go to third parties for at some point.

As mentioned above, this isn't possible with Airtable, but it is possible with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free and offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to do what you are specifically requesting: adding custom images to forms, and even displaying as many fields as you want to see in a linked record selection list (including attachments).

Fillout also gives you the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, and much more.

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

Hope this helps!

Hi @ScottWorld ,

Thanks for the response, for this specific project (Template Base for Clients) I'm seeking to keep it all in Airtable (though I'm using Fillout for my Scheduling Base which has been really helpful).

Hi @Kenneth_Raghuna ,

Thanks for the response. I thought that might be the case but wanted to make sure. I'm seeking to build a Template Base for folks who can use the Interfaces like an app in their own setting, and not need to build or manage any accounts other than Airtable... it's for clients in our nonprofit programs where their skill in our program material is a lot more important than administrative skill, so I'm trying to give them the "Easy Button" as much as possible. Setting up or managing integrations or external apps is too much to ask for this use case. 

I did notice that Airtable's basic forms have "+Add" on the button, which to me is better than the lone "+" sign on the advanced forms. I'm trying to build the base in a "Fisher Price" format using these forms and it's coming along :).

 

Thanks again,

ML
