Display the latest record added right after submission (auto browser redirection?)

Hello,

 

This is probably a recurrent question.

I found this but I think it is not practical as it requires user interaction to filter by a checkbox (see: 

 

Hello,

My idea is, considering the new AI features in place—particularly in a field agents scenario—to create a form to add a new record. This would essentially be a form to upload a document, along with a checkbox called “Auto AI Recognition” to enable or disable the field agents (I would use this checkbox as a trigger) to read the document and populate the different fields in the table as required.

However, once the document is uploaded and the form is submitted, the form disappears. At that point, I would like to redirect the user’s browser to the newly created record so they can verify that the information populated by the field agents makes sense, and validate or correct it if needed.

This kind of browser redirection does not seem to be available, as far as I can tell. As a result, it is neither user-friendly nor efficient, and I don’t think it scales well—especially when the user is working with an interface that displays hundreds or thousands of records by default. In that case, they would need to manually locate the record they just created in order to validate it.

Yes, they could use filters and similar tools, but I would like to find a way to streamline the process and minimize user interaction. In other words: form submitted → form disappears → record view refreshes and automatically displays the newly created record.

This becomes even more challenging when multiple users are adding records to the table at the same time. Additional filters such as “Created by” could help, but again, this is not very user-friendly for the end user.

Any ideas?

Hm, when the form creates records in the same table as the Record Review source, the UI automatically updates to display the newly created record for me:

Is that form creating a record in a different table?

You can redirect to the created record by using the {record_id} placeholder and I've set it up here for you to check out.  Here’s the URL I’m using in the example:

Hey ​@luismi,

Alternatively -and for a smoother ux/ui you might want to look into Zite (with their native Airtable integration). You’ll be able to build way more powerful forms with whatever custom ux you might need. You would just prompt your way around it, and their free plan should be more than enough for your use case.

 Feel free to grab a slot using this link and I’d be happy to show you around.

@Mike_AutomaticN I was not aware about Zite but I am already deeply “married” with the AT interface at this point. Is zite just  valid to build a frontend. I guess your comment is pointing to build the UX/UI on Zite while keeping the backend on AT? It seems to be a powerful tool. If it can support AT as backend/database somehow… does it still apply the limit to the records that is noted on the free tier? I guess the limit the results displayed or similar, because if not.. hmmm.. build an UI over there with such limitation could be interesting. Just asking, I have not clue about the tool.

@TheTimeSavingCo That would be the idea, not fully automatic but usable. However, that is only working for pure forms and not for the “Add records through a form”:

 

 

That implies that I would require to rebuild an amount of work at this point 😓 looks like.

@TheTimeSavingCo weird, it was not working, I jumped into another page, added a record there, it worked, went back to the original page not working.. .adding a record, it works :-/ 

I guess something got stuck in the browser (I wouldn’t surprise me)

Well, now it works as expected, thanks for the feedback, I was really worried about the wrong behavior.
