I know a few years ago it was not possible, but I'm curious to know if anything has changed. I have a long form that I'd like to split into multiple pages. Is this still impossible to do in Airtable? Is my only solution to use an external service like JotForm?

Form with multiple pages
+3Best answer by dilipborad
Hello @southwest
Multiple pages(steps) for the form are still not available in the Airtable.
But there are show/hide fields based on specific conditions you can set on every field.
You can also check Fillout for the forms.

+35Just repeating & reiterating what @dilipborad mentioned above.
@dilipborad‘s recommendation is the best way to go.
Your best bet for this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable because it communicates directly with Airtable and can easily do everything that you requested.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to create multi-page forms with conditional paths, update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, 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!

+35Yes, I always turn to Fillout first for all of my Airtable consulting clients.
These are your top 2 options for Airtable:
1. Fillout's advanced forms for Airtable: If you're looking for direct & live integration with Airtable, there is no better form tool on the market that has better communication with Airtable than Fillout. It offers hundreds of features that Airtable's native forms don't offer, and it is built from the ground up to work with 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 from a form, display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments & formulas on forms, conditionally & dynamically filter which linked records can be chosen, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, display as many fields as you want to see in a linked record selection list (including attachment fields), connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, limit the number of linked records that can be chosen, upload an unlimited amount of attachments simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, add choice matrixes to your forms, integrate Google Maps onto your forms, and so much more.

2. JotForm: If you're looking for the most versatile form software that doesn't communicate live with your Airtable bases, JotForm has more options than any other form software on the Internet. However, the most it can do with Airtable is just send your form submissions to Airtable (in a limited fashion). So if you needed to do anything advanced with your form submissions (after the forms are submitted), you would likely would need to use Make's JotForm integrations.

As of 2023, Fillout's advanced forms for Airtable came on the market and it is 100% free and it is the #1 best form tool for Airtable.
Fillout offers multi-page forms for Airtable, conditional paths for pages, accepting payments on forms, updating Airtable records from a form, creating linked records on a form, displaying lookup fields and formulas on forms, and dozens of advanced features that are all Airtable-specific and are not available in Airtable’s forms.

Jotform integrates directly with Airtable.
+35Yes, now JotForm supports sending form submissions to Airtable. At the time of the original post above, JotForm was not yet supporting Airtable's new security methods, so JotForm customers were required to find other ways to connect JotForm to Airtable. (However, note that JotForm doesn't support all of Airtable's field types, so you still may need to use Make's JotForm integrations.)
Although Fillout is still the superior form app for Airtable, because it was built from the ground up for live communication with Airtable. So I would always recommend going down the Fillout route first.

+13Hi there! I just wanted to throw the miniExtensions hat in the ring as well! Our form offers multi-page support, as well as tons of other functionality not supported by Airtable's offering. Our form offers unlimited users and submissions, and all of our subscriptions also include access to our long list of automation workflows, which can be super useful as well for modifying Airtable data in bulk!
You can try all of this out by signing up for a free account!
