For a project, I had to create a personalized form capable of initiating an automated process in Airtable upon its submission. Since Framer doesn't support Airtable yet, I had to implement it.
To achieve the desired outcome, I took the following steps:
Custom Form Creation: I designed and developed a custom form tailored to the specific requirements of the project. This form allowed users to input data and submit it conveniently.
Airtable Automation: My goal was to automate processes within Airtable based on the data submitted through the custom form. By setting up an automation, I could streamline data handling and improve efficiency.
AWS Lambda + Gateway Implementation: I used AWS Lambda, a serverless computing service, in conjunction with API Gateway to act as a bridge between the custom form and Airtable.
Here's how the implementation works:
When a user submits the custom form, the data is sent to the AWS Lambda function through the API Gateway.
The AWS Lambda function, acting as a proxy, processes the data received from the form submission.
The Lambda function then triggers the appropriate Airtable automation based on the data, automating the desired actions within the Airtable database.
