Embed a Map, Form or Booking Page on Each Airtable Record

Some steps in a workflow happen on another site. An ID check, a signature request, a booking calendar, a map. Without a way to show them in the portal, you email each person a separate link and hope they find it.

A record embed puts that page on the record itself, so the step sits next to the information it belongs to.

What it does

Pick a field that holds a link, and each record's page shows the page that link points to. Because the link is read from the record, every record shows its own: the property's map, the client's booking page, the applicant's ID check.

• Conditions decide which records show it, so a form disappears once a status field says it is done
• Up to five embeds on a page, each with its own link field, allowed sites and conditions
• A heading and a height for each, and camera and microphone access for ID and selfie checks, off unless you turn it on
• The link field can be hidden from your users. Its value is only used for the embed

Why it matters

The usual pattern is an Airtable automation that creates something with a provider, an intake form or an e-signature request, and writes its link back to the record. The record embed is the last step: the person opens their record in the portal and the form is there, with no separate email to find.

It works just as well for things that never change. A Google Map on each property in a real estate portal is one field and one embed.

Only the sites you allow

Some providers refuse to be shown inside another site, which no browser lets the portal detect. That is why every embed has an "Open in a new tab" link under it.

How it works

Open a page's Display tab and add an embed under Record Embed: choose the link field, list the allowed sites, and add conditions if you want them. The record embeds guide covers each setting, how several embeds on one page behave, and what to check when a provider shows a blank area.

Who it is for

Any portal where part of the job happens elsewhere: application portals with an ID check or a signature, contractor compliance with a provider's signature step, real estate and location management portals with a map on each site, and service businesses with a booking page per client.
