Hi,

Is there a way to add a new user to a second Glide Table automatically?

E.g. when a new user is added to User Profile table \> A new row for that user is added to Table 2.

BUT… I want to create a filter so that a new row is **only** added, if a row for that user **doesn’t** already exist in Table 2.

I have played with Actions - Add Row, but this seems to create a new row per user everytime they interact with the User Table… but I don’t want a new row to be added to Table 2 every time they update their profile…

TIA

> wave Hey fellow Gliders! Are you using Row Owners and Public Profiles to secure your user data? If not, you might accidentally expose private info. Let’s fix that. In this important tutorial, I demonstrate how and why to enable Row Owners, create a Public Profiles table, and onboard new users in order to safely create a community app that doesn’t reference the User Profile table.

Thank you, that’s going to work perfectly. I like having an onboarding process too - not only have you solved my update row challenge, but you’ve improved my UX too 😍
