Works with Airtable

The Airtable gaps, and how Air Fill closes them

The Airtable limitations people run into most on a phone, and how Air Fill handles each one. Find the one slowing you down.

Every gap, and its fix

Anyone you share with sees the whole base Airtable has no row- or field-level permissions — base access means access to everything.
Airtable forms can’t chain into a multi-step workflow Airtable’s forms are single-form and single-table by design, so an intake that spans several related records means opening and submitting each form on its own and tracking your place by hand.
You can’t see a calculated value until after you save Airtable’s formula and rollup fields compute server-side and are read-only, so a form can never show a running total or calculated value while someone is filling it in.
A form submit is a dead end When an Airtable form is submitted, nothing reaches your phone or your other tools on its own unless you leave the form and wire up a separate automation on the web.
You’re thumb-typing barcodes and serial numbers into Airtable by hand On a phone in a warehouse or at a check-in desk, Airtable’s browser form views can’t open the camera to read a barcode or QR code into a field.
Leave a form and lose everything you typed Navigate away from a partly-filled Airtable form and every value you entered disappears — there is no save and resume.
Your form setup doesn’t follow you between devices Build a custom form for your base on one device and there’s no built-in way for it to appear on your others — you’d rebuild or export it by hand.
You can’t hand off a form without handing over the keys Sharing a form means sharing everything behind it.
Retyping the same values into a form every time on your phone You re-enter the same information by hand every time you create a recurring record on your phone.
A long form is one endless scroll on a phone A form with a lot of fields becomes one long scroll on a phone, with no sense of how far along you are.
