The form that I have will only be used by internal folks and all the information populated will be on their record. We are running into an issue where it says that the “form was submitted by anonymous.”


We’d like to track who submitted the form to see how many forms a person submitted in a given month.


Is there a way we can have the name of the person who submitted the form?

And is there a way for me to link form entries to that person’s record?

that section would only reference your collaborators

One way to do this is by using this extension. It allows you to have a login page that links each submitted records with a specific user.


You have a few different options for this:

  1. As long as the user is logged into their Airtable account, you can enable the option to “See who submitted a response”.
  2. If the user doesn’t have an Airtable account, you can either ask for their email address on the Airtable form, or you can create a login page for your form by using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.
  3. You can even use Fillout to get these additional features:
    - You can verify & confirm that the user is typing in a valid email address.
    - You can use Fillout to restrict the logins by SSO or email domain.
    - You can limit the form entries to one entry per person.
    - And much more.

In addition to answers above, if you decide to go with Fillout (you could also do smth similar with Aritable native forms but I don’t think that is the best way to go) you could:

1. Allow the end user to select themselves from a dropdown of linked records corresponding to a table “Team Members”; or
2. Just have that field pre-filled with URL parameters which means that each user will have its own unique url to the form which will automatically link them to the submission.

If you need any help setting this up, please feel free to grab a slot using this link. I’d be happy to go through it together.
