Portal: Collect IP / GPS and Count of logins

Feature Requests

Hi, I have a portal that is set up with a password. Is it possible to capture GPS/IP logins each time the portal is accessed? I know this feature is available on forms but would be very helpful to have for portals as well. Thank you!

Hi there,

This is Cristian from the miniExtensions Customer Support Team. Thank you for reaching out! Allow me to answer your questions below:

Collect GPS coordinates

With our forms, you can automatically collect IP address and GPS location data. If you want to capture this data using a portal, you can do it through the child form to create or expand records. Please note that users will need to grant access to their GPS data in their browser to capture location data.

Count the Number of Logins

Regarding your second question, while you can’t directly count the number of logins for a specific user, you can track the last login date and time in a date + time field. To count how many times a user has logged in, you can add an Airtable automation into the mix like this:

  • Create a number field in your users table. You can select the default starting number as 0.
  • Create a formula field that calculates the value of the number field + 1.
  • Create an automation triggered by a record update on the last login field
  • Have the automation replace the number of the number field with the value of the formula field.

This way, each time that there’s a new login date, the field’s count will increase by one.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions or require further assistance. I’d be happy to help!
