Call a php script from Glide and wait for a response

[Roldy]

My need would be to run a simple php script to perform some operations in the customer’s CRM, and then wait a response from the php script with a status about the completed or failed operation…
I’ve to read this response and then perform some other action inside Glide.
May be with webhook? Or some other way?
Do you’ve an example?
Thanks!

Using App Script with a JSON API

The main focus is to give a gentle (?) introduction to Apps Script, and demonstrate how it can be used to interface with an API endpoint. I’ve tried to break down and explain t…

It’s basically the same thing, you use UrlFetchApp to call a URL, and then process what gets returned. If you decide to use this method and need some help with the code, just give a shout.
