Whenever you embed a view or an interface page in your website, that page is read-only so you can’t edit/update records directly from the embedded page itself.

However, embedded views let people click on URL links or buttons which contain URL links, so you can use these links to allow people to edit records in your Airtable base (such as marking a status as complete).

Here are two ways of doing this:

1. People can edit/update your Airtable records by using 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.
   
   Fillout gives you a formula that you add to your Airtable base, which automatically creates a special URL for each record.
   
   So your users would click on the URL (or button) while looking at the record, which would take them to that record in Fillout, and they can make changes to the record there.
   
   I demonstrate this technique on this Airtable podcast episode.
    
2. People can edit/update your Airtable records by triggering a custom webhook in Make, which would then automatically run an automation that marks that task as complete.
   
   Same setup as #1 above. You would create a formula in your Airtable base, which would automatically create a unique webhook URL for each record.
   
   Then, your users would click on the URL (or button) while looking at the record in Airtable, which would then trigger the automation.
   
   I demonstrate how to setup these custom webhooks in this Airtable podcast episode.
   
   Note that my podcast episode demonstrate this in the context of putting the custom webhook URL inside of an email, but you can skip that step.
   
   If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread.

Additionally, if you’re looking for something more advanced, you can embed a fully-working Airtable app on your website — with editable fields — by using a 3rd-party portal.

• The most popular portals that are currently available for Airtable are:
  Noloco, JetAdmin, Softr, Pory, MiniExtensions, and Glide. I gave an entire one-hour webinar on Noloco called Building a Client Portal on Noloco powered by Airtable.

Hope this helps!
