How do I link records between tables in Airtable?

To link records between tables in Airtable, open the table where you want to create the link and add a new field by clicking the “+” icon. Choose the “Link to another record” field type and select the table you want to link to. This creates a linked record field in your table. You can now connect records between the two tables by selecting or creating records from the linked table. This feature allows you to build relationships between different data sets, such as linking clients to projects or products to orders, making it easier to organize and analyze related information.

Airtable will automatically generate a form based on the fields in your table. You can customize the form by rearranging fields, adding descriptions, and adjusting field properties (e.g., required fields, default values). Once your form is ready, you can share it via a link or embed it on a website. Submissions will automatically populate your Airtable table, allowing you to collect and organize data efficiently.

How do I automate tasks in Airtable using Airtable Automations?
