Customize Form layout

@Ed_Cooper

@AlliAlosa and @Justin_Barrett recommends jotform + zapier for it in the following two topics.

Typeform → Zapier → Airtable is other option.

Neal,
I took your advice.
Got Jotform and Zapier.
Setup the API keys in both.
Zapier was successful in updating test data to my Airtable table.
However, When I enter data via a Jotform form it does not add the new Jetform submission.
I can see the submissions in Jetform but it’s not adding the record to Airtable via Zapier.
I’ve tried everything. Been tearing my hair out for 2 days.
I have an account with Zoom. If you could spare a few minutes with me online looking at my setting I think you could spot the issue. If not I’ll pull out what little hair I have left.
Thanks in advance.

I sent message to connect with zoom.

Simple advice for testing jotform-zapier-airtable.

• Create simple form on jotform having only one field of simple text.
• use zapier to create new record in airtable for each new record in jotform.
• test it.
• Because of time delay in zapier , record creation will not be immediately available at airtable.
• Once this is successful then you can create more advanced form using jotform and test it .It means your flow from jotform to airtable with zapier should be successful for very simple jotform with one simple text field.
• My personal recommendation is to go from very simple jotform to advanced jotform in steps sothat troubleshooting is easier.

Neal,
Are you saying you sent me an an invitation for a Zoom session for tomorrow afternoon? If so I did not get it.
I sent you email earlier today from edcooper@squareriggerinc.com
My table in Airtable is simple and meant strictly for the test.
Two fields:
First Name
Last Name

Jotform has the same two fields both text type.

Could not be simpler.
Hope to talk to you tomorrow.
Check your email and let me know if you received it. You might check spam.

@Ed_Cooper

I just sent zoom invitation to you by email.

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form designed specifically to integrate with Airtable, offering extensive customization options to suit your needs. Our column display feature lets you arrange fields in a horizontal layout, allowing you to place fields side by side:

 

Additionally, you can control the form’s width, decide how sections are displayed (either as a single view or a multi-page layout), and customize how linked records are shown, whether in a grid, gallery, or list view.

 

Feel free to explore these features and many more with a free account on our site.

Your best bet for this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to customize the style and branding of your form, customize a theme for your form, and even write your own custom HTML and CSS to control your form’s formatting.

Fillout also offers advanced features, such as the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, 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 custom PDF files from form submissions, 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:

• Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Hope this helps!
