Turn Airtable form into step-by-step onboarding
Anyone want something that does this? I'm thinking of making it.
It would also:
- live at your domain
- have your own branding + font
- redirect to your chosen URL
(Even if you don't have an Airtable paid plan.)
Update: here's a very scrappy representation of what it would look like:

I know Typeform (have filled out a few) but never set one up. If it's similar - how does it differentiate from Typeform?
Could see a few other neat little additions to that such as
I'm sure there are quite a few similar solutions already, so key would be to differentiate (maybe there is a niche somewhere or pre-built adaptable content such as contact form, job application)
In general no code (and no backend) forms are quite useful for a lot of people to embed in their static sites or the likes of WordPress where some users can't install plugins
It basically doesn't differentiate from Typeform except that:
So it's really for people who feel like they have to stick with Airtable forms but want a step-by-step experience and don't want to show Airtable's URL or branding to their customers.
gotcha so basically an "upsell" on airtable for ppl who might already use it - and either don't know typeform or can't use it (e.g. not an exiting vendor).
might be worth it - one big question is, how do you find these people in order to market your product?
Good question. 1) Airtable product forums 2) searching airtable.com/shr* links on Google and contacting their owners, if it's obvious who they are.
Thanks a lot for these really brilliant questions, appreciate it a LOT!
you're very welcome. I am feeling the pain of having a hard time to find where my customers are hanging out. If those 2 scale at least to get going then you're in a better place than me already haha
Interesting. Would it be like a tooltip walkthrough? An initial popover modal?
It would be:
You wouldn't need to do anything special to create it, just provide the link to an Airtable form for it to be based on, and do some DNS stuff.
Ok got it! I think I understand. Would they be able to see bits of the page they're on and click around while they're going through the screens?
I think I'm not being super clear so I think easier if I just send you on Notion what it would look like:

Cool! I could see how that could be helpful for collecting useful info about the user like where they found out about you from. tbh, I may not be your ideal customer though because I'd likely just build a form to collect that data into my app. I think this could definitely be helpful for no code apps though! :-)
Gotcha! Thanks!
