We are excited about the ability to now make Forms in the interface instead of as just a view in the data layer. A lot more customization (can you say rich text formatting in the description 🙌?!). However, I don't seem to see the option in the interface version of Forms to allow users to request a copy of their responses like it does in the "view" Form of the data layer. Is this accurate or am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
Creating a form - interface or view?
+35Unfortunately, interface forms are missing this feature.
Your #1 best bet is to explore Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, which is 100% free and offers hundreds of advanced form features for Airtable, including the ability for users to request a copy of their responses, the ability to update Airtable records with a form, create new linked records from a form, and much more.
Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
+13Hey there, Hannes from the miniExtensions team here!
Our form extension supports this feature (and countless others!) natively. You can either email the user's submission to them every time (without the need for them to have an Airtable account!), or you could send out that email on request, for example by having them check a checkbox or by giving them a link after submission. Automatic submission emails are built-in natively. For the "on-demand" emails you'd likely be best off using an Airtable automation that is triggered by either a checkbox being checked or by a webhook URL that you could display to your users after submission. This may sound kind of complicated, but is actually pretty simple to set up! We'd be happy to assist you with that if you need any pointers!
Feel free to try this out now with a free account! 🙂
