When you create a form or portal in miniExtensions, your Airtable fields are already mapped. Unlike other tools, miniExtensions pulls your actual Airtable fields directly. There’s no need to manually connect each field.
Just choose the fields you want from your Airtable base, and the form is instantly built with those fields already connected. It works just like Airtable’s native form builder.
What gets mapped automatically?
Field types (e.g. text, attachments, dropdowns)
Field options (like single/multi select values)
Supported Airtable field settings, including formats and field-specific options.
To inspect the imported configuration, open the field in miniExtensions, expand Advanced, and view Airtable Field Settings. This panel is read-only. Use the Airtable shortcut in the panel to change the source field's settings.
Examples include:
Date format
Currency format
Rich text for long text fields
Number format
etc.
Why this matters
Zero setup time
Fewer chances for mistakes
Fast testing and iteration
Feels native to Airtable users
Can I still customize the form?
You can reorder or hide fields
Set default values
Use conditional logic
Rename field labels, etc.
