Custom open signup forms

Right now, open signup only gathers basic user information (email, login, name, etc.).
However, that means once a user has access to the app, they don't have any other pre-configurations (for example, what client they're associated to, or any other fields you may want to have filled out prior to their first login).
Being able to customize the open signup form would be a total game changer for user experience.
Imagine a new user types in their website URL and company name, and an Airtable automation runs in the background that creates the company/client and assigns them to it. Then imagine a second user from the same company signing up. An automation could detect that this second user has the same email domain as an existing user, and therefore would assign that second (new) user to the existing client related to the first user.
I am already using those automations, but the difference is that I have to use a Fillout form to make it work, and there's latency between when a user submits the form and them actually being able to login (Stacker takes a minute to "register" them as a user).
All that to say, custom open signup forms would make signups (1) much faster, and (2) a far more integrated experience, allowing users to signup while simultaneously capturing important "onboarding" information.

What about using this form, https://build.fillout.com/home
that integrates with AirTable, then auto send a gmail with Stacker login?

James Parry: This is actually the solution I'm currently using for one of the apps I built recently. The problem is that there's a delay with Stacker registering that new record as a user. It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to maybe 3 minutes. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but having the form be Stacker's own native form goes a long way for UX. People wan to sign up and login right away. I also think it just looks better/more "put together" to have it be in Stacker's native sign up form rather than an embedded or "New tab" form in Fillout.
