Require counter to be displayed for upvote/downvote

[Almas_Sayyed]

Hi team,

Building a similar clone as to the Producthunt upvote feature. I would like to know how I can use the counter in airtable fields. As in when the user clicks on the Frontend the counter should get updated on the frontend as well as the record/database.

Also a limitation in doing this the following way

Is it possible to add a vote/like button to a public air table (without the need to have collaborato... Base design

Do you mean something like this: [image] The button links to a form with the option prefilled. [image] Submitting the form redirects to the original page where you can see the updated vote counts. Here is the live demo.

is one can vote only through submitting the form. Thats, not the whole idea if I just wish to upvote the content I needn’t fill the whole submission form for it.

Any suggestion would be helpful here

Hi @Almas_Sayyed ,

The best I think is to send in the frontend the sum of votes you receive while each vote has to be a separate record. In that case you also need to create a condition that will check if the vote will be included in the calculation since when user downvote.

I am not sure if this is the best option you have but it could work.

That’s some complex workaround not so sure as the frontend UI should note the click . And also it’s not like a button/CTA click. Thanks for looking into this @Dimitris_Goudis
