Hello,  
Why not have an Action API?  
As there are Webhook and API columns which are already a good base. The creation of an API action seems close.  
Which could have value in return.

Currently I am using a webhook action with a proprietary script and a return value in a sheet, but the refresh in Glide takes several minutes. And I have to use the google sheet while all my tables are in Glide Table.

Hi @Lucas_Pires  
Yes I know and I read this discussion with interest, but there are obviously technical difficulties to put into production.  
I am thinking in particular of mass calls if you are using a list or whatever.  
And it remained a long time in suspense.  
It’s a (simpler ;-)) way

Feel you. Talking about me, I still don’t know how to implement it, but gotta study a bit more

At the time, I tested the demos successfully, but for a while I got an error. So I’m waiting for a production to make further progress.  
If you are successful in certain things, I am a taker!
