I want to give to some users ( managers … ) the ability to invite new users ( projet team … ) from a creation form in the interface, I tried to do it but I should add the new ones from the base first then select him in the dropdown list showed in the creation form. How can I centralize the invitation just from the interface no need to go the base and add him from there ( it’s so hard to do this when we have a lot of inviations to handle )
Question
Add or invite a new user to the interface just via the form ( filling the user field with his email )
+5Collaborators must be explicitly invited to the base or workspace first.
Airtable does not allow creating new users from Interface forms, Record forms and Automations (May do it accessing to Airtable REST API)...
What I can recommend, change the workflow slightly, Instead of trying to directly add users, create a request workflow…
- Managers fill out “User Invitation” form; new team member info (name & email).
- Automation triggers when a new record is created.
-
Send a notification to the admin (via email or Slack)
Send an email to the new user with onboarding instructions and a direct link to the base
-
- When the user clicks the link, Airtable prompts them with a "Request access" message.
- At that point, the admin reviews the requests and either accepts or rejects them.
