URL masking not allowed?

[Shubha_Bala1]

Hi! We made an Airtable form and we have a custom domain that we want to mask the form’s URL. We can get our URL to redirect, but we get an error if we try to actually mask the Airtable URL. Does Airtable block this? Our domain name provider says it is on Airtable’s side.

When sharing your form, you need to choose the option that says “Embed this form on your site”. That will give you the code to copy-and-paste onto your own website.

Unfortunately we don’t have a site to embed our form on, we just wanted to have a different URL when people access the form. Is that possible?

[ScottWorld · Accepted solution]

Yes, this is possible with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout’s enterprise plan allows you to host forms with a custom domain. Fillout also offers hundreds of advanced features that Airtable’s forms don’t natively offer, such as the ability to update Airtable records from a form, multi- page forms, SSO sign-on, and much more,

If you have a custom domain, simply activate that domain so that you can mask the URL. Arbitrarily declaring an Airtable form as not on an Airtable server is not going to happen. This is not a restriction of Airtable per-se; it’s more about web security constraints and other issues of transparency.

Bottom line - the only way to have a URL work is for it to be enabled/registered as a domain (or sub-domain).
