Two-step record creation process?
This is effectively a follow-up task to my previous post; 'Can I use webhooks to create new records directly into Airtable?'
I know the easiest way to create a new record would be to create an Airtable form. But I prefer to use ConvertBox due to it's simplicity and it's ability to split-test form variations.
The only problem in this use case, is it would be nice to have a user submit one or more images at the time they complete the form. But ConvertBox doesn't facilitate uploads.
However, it does facilitate multi-step forms. And I see I can embed an Airtable form into a ConvertBox step. So that does give me some options.
So my question is if a user submits all the text-based information in the first step, how do I make sure the record is created so that the optional image upload step that follows is attached to the newly created record.
Mmmm... I think that just writing this post out, I've realised the 'text' form I created in ConvertBox could be redundant if I just embed the Airtable form instead. That way the image field is there right at the time of record creation!
PS. I'm leaving this post up as I know the community is always discovering new and interesting ways to use Airtable and this might be of value to someone else one day!
PPS. I'll report back on whether my epiphany comes to pass and I nicely marry up ConvertBox and Airtable. If so, that will be a huge win. (And as I think out loud, it also provides a solution to my previous post!).
