Feature Request:
It would be great if Airtable scripting blocks or button fields could support browser-level JavaScript interactions, including:
window.open() Functionality:
- Allow scripts or buttons to open external links in small, controlled windows.
Custom In-Page Pop-Ups (Modals):
- Allow scripts or buttons to create in-page pop-ups (modals) that provide real-time feedback, confirmation messages, alerts, or custom input forms directly inside the Airtable interface. This would create a smoother user experience without opening new tabs or navigating away from Airtable.
Redirect to Created Record:
- Enable the ability to automatically redirect users to a newly created or updated record after completing an action (such as a form submission or automation). This would enhance navigation and user flow.
Use Case Examples:
- Fillout.com Forms: I want to click a button in Airtable to open a Fillout.com form in a small window instead of a new tab, similar to Google’s login pop-ups.
- In-Page Pop-Ups and Alerts: If a user changes the status of a task (e.g., from "In Progress" to "Completed"), a pop-up could appear prompting them to fill out additional fields (e.g., feedback or completion notes) before the change is confirmed. This ensures necessary data is captured right when it’s needed, without leaving the Airtable interface.
- Redirect to Created Record: After an automation or script creates a new record, automatically redirect the user to that record for immediate viewing or editing, streamlining workflow.
