Hello there!
Currently we use Google forms to gather registration information from clients. Is there a way of creating a registration form on Airtable, from which the answers would go automatically to our Airtable base please? I am trying to avoid copying and pasting… Although I am sure there is a better way of importing this data too.

thanks,
Reeta

Welcome to the community, @Reeta_Behm! 😃

Yes, that is one of the many great advantages of using Airtable!

You can simply create a new form, customize the form with the fields that you would like to appear on it, and then share the form URL with your clients!

However, if you’re looking for a more advanced form, you’ll want to check out Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, control access to a form via SSO or email domains, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, 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:

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable. Some of the most popular features include:

  1. Linked Record Creation: Form users can create new linked records directly from the form, simplifying data entry across related tables.
  2. Save & Continue: Users can save their progress and return to the form later, making it easier to complete complex forms.
  3. Address Autocomplete and Location Data Capture: You can automatically fill out address fields and even capture GPS location and IP addresses, giving you greater insights into form submissions.
  4. Conditional Fields & Branching: You can set up fields that show or hide based on previous responses, as well as direct users to specific pages based on their answers.
  5. Custom Field Prefills: Prefill hidden or visible fields with URL parameters to save time and streamline form submissions.

Here's a basic form example with address autocomplete enabled:

These features and more are available with miniExtensions, and you can try them with a free account! We also accept feature requests, so if you have something in mind that we could build for you, feel free to reach out!
