Single-Use Restriction for Forms

[Yomu_Games]

I want to send different people emails containing a link to a form that they can only submit once. Once submitted, if they click the form link to the form again, they wouldn’t be able to do another submission. How do I do this? Ideally, the form would be tied to a record in airtable, and if the status column of the record is no longer “new” and transitioned to “progress” or “finished”, the form would no longer work.

You could use this system + let one of the automations control (is it empty?) and add (the first time they fill in the form) a checkmark to an extra field.

We are experiencing the same issue. We have a prefilled form that we send to users for approval, but some users are submitting the same approval multiple times. We have an automation in place to check if they’ve already submitted the form, but they’re still able to resubmit it. Is there a way to restrict access so that, upon a second attempt, users see a message like "Form already submitted"?

Hi there!

You can easily do this using miniExtensions. We've built a third-party form that offers various flexible options to get more out of Airtable, including several ways to control or disable form submissions. These include allowing users to create only one record, setting a scheduled date to disable submissions, and restricting submissions based on specific conditions.
