Matching Applications through Airtable

  • podCONX
    Asked on June 7, 2021 at 11:26 PM

    We currently use two Jotforms. One for Guest to Apply to be on a Podcast and one for Podcasts to Invite guests. Our website has a unique page for each guest and each podcast with the Jotform embeded on each page. We use the Jotform URL capture widget to identify the Guest or podcast. Through the Airtable integration we match the guest or podcast unique URL to the correct guest or podcast. Airtable automation then sends the Guest or Podcast an email letting them know that they've been Invited or have an application.


    We are wondering if there's a way to use the new Jotform Approval Feature in the email that we send from Airtable. In all your demonstrations it appears that the decision maker is known, unfortunately, there's no way to know who the Invited Guest or Applied Podcast. Therefore the Jotform workflow would need to include Airtable.


    Does that make sense? Is this possible?

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    I read your query, but unfortunately, I couldn't understand it clearly. It would be really helpful if you can share the form link that is used specifically to send an email or maybe explain the workaround in a bit more detail. For example:

    Is there an approval process or email will be sent on form submission?

    Who and how many people will be approving?

    This information will help us find the best solution for you. We would love to help you with this.

    Waiting for your response.

    Greetings,

    If I understood correctly you'd like to add Approval features in the email that is sent out from AirTable?

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. You can use the Approval feature to send out emails to the users from within JotForm. Third-party integrations do not have access to this feature.

    If I misunderstood your concern then please elaborate on your requirement.

    Thanks
