For each photo added to a form one entry in airtable
I need a form where clients can enter there data and as many fotos as they want taken directly with the ipad. In Airtable I need to make a entry for each photo taken. Example in Form i have.
Yes, this is very easy to do with Airtable’s automations.
After the form is submitted, you would just loop through your attachment field with a repeating group action to create your new records.
Please see the screenshot below for a quick overview of how to set this up in Airtable’s automations.
By the way, if you need more advanced control over the uploaded photos, such as limiting the user to a certain file size, you would need to use .Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable for that.
I have a question. When i set field attachment i have two options (they are in german). Which one should i select?
There may even be more than 2 URLs for the attachment field. I think they should all work, but play around with it until you find one that works best.
I tested with Base-Datensatz-URL and i got this error: “Attachment could not be parsed”.
Sorry and another question. In “fields” we must only select the attachment field or others also?
When creating records, you can update as many fields as you would like for your new record.
Check out my screenshot below — be sure you’re choosing the attachment field’s URL from the “current item” option on the left.
Something is not working. I set this:
And not three entries was made. It was one entry with three attachments made.
The form looks like this:
What I am doing wrong? Thanks very much
Take a look at my screenshot above…. Notice how I chose “current item” within the “create record” action.
Current item (Aktuelles Elemnt) is selected:
Very strange… as far as I can tell from your screenshots, your setup should work! It looks identical to my setup. You may want to email [email protected] to ask them about your setup to see what’s going on.
By the way, while you’re waiting for Airtable Support to help you figure out what is going wrong with your automation, there’s another way that you can do this too.
You can recreate your form in Fillout (which is free), and then use Make (which is free) to create your records in Airtable.
Your Make automation would look like the screenshot below:
