+5Hello,
I’m intersted in the Portals add on, however I can justify the expense of $150/month for 15 users. I don’t need 15 users currently, I will hopefully eventually scale to that amount +. For now I just need 5 tops. Please consider changing the minimum user requirement.
+35You can submit that as a feature request on the product feedback page.
In the meantime, you can look at 3rd-party portals, which are often less expensive than Airtable’s portals. The most popular 3rd-party portals that are currently available for Airtable are: Zite, JetAdmin, Softr, Glide, MiniExtensions, and Noloco.
Alternatively, your read-only Airtable users (which are already free) can edit your Airtable records for free 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. Read-only users in Airtable are free, and they are allowed to click on URLs. (They are also allowed to click on buttons that take them to external URLs). So they would click on the the URL (or button) while looking at the record, which would take them to that record in Fillout.
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:
- Using Fillout to update an existing Airtable record & create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
- Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.
Hope this helps!
