What edit links are
An edit link is a form URL that includes a specific Airtable record ID. When someone opens it, the form loads pre-filled with that record’s data. On submit, the record is updated. Each record in your Airtable table has its own unique edit link.Getting edit links from the share popover
The fastest way to get edit links is from the share popover in the form editor:Find the edit links section
The share popover prominently shows the Edit links section with a formula for generating links in bulk and a searchable record list.
Find the record
Expand the record search and type the record’s primary field value to find the record you want.
Generating edit links in bulk with Airtable formulas
For large tables, use an Airtable formula field to generate edit links for every record automatically. The share popover shows you a ready-to-use formula with a copy button:- Sending the formula field value in an Airtable automation email
- Displaying the link in a Airtable view for your team
- Passing the link through your CRM or email tool
Sending edit links via email
Combine the formula approach with Airtable automations to email each respondent their own edit link. Use Airtable’s built-in email automation to send the formula field value to the respondent’s email address when a trigger condition is met.Edit link format
{formId}: found in the share popover or in your browser’s address bar when the form is open{recordId}: the Airtable record ID (starts withrec)

Is there a way to require authentication before an edit link works?
Yes. Add a Login page to your form. Even with an edit link, the respondent must authenticate before the form loads. The Login page’s lookup mode uses the record ID in the URL to pre-load the matching record after authentication.
