Hi community members, Yes, here I am again with a question. 🙂 In the past it was possible to set a trigger to Zapier or Make, using a free plan. Now Glide has changed his plans, now I need to have a Makers plan to be able to use Zapier or Make (or many others) ☹ Does anyone know of a way, that I can still trigger something? Like a notification or receiving an email, when a record is added to a Glide table, while I have the free plan? I could switch to a Makers plan but it is a bit deer for me. I am not earning anything from my apps, so everything needs to come out of my own pocket. My apps are for private use only. Let me try to explain why I would like to receive a notification, then maybe you have some other idea how to get a notification. I have created an, what I call, a restaurant app. It is used be me and my son. In there I register any restaurant that we have been and rate it and leave a small review. So when some one put in a restaurant, then the other also can see what this is and if its a good place to go. In there, I also place a logo and the correct address and telephone number. My son doesn’t always have a logo, but I can find it on the internet and place it in. Also sometimes me or my son doesn’t know the exact address. Later at home, I can check the internet and get the correct details, and place it in. This is why, it would be nice, that I would get a notification when my son has added a new restaurant, so I can complete the details. Thanks in advance for all your tips and tricks. ---

You can send an email or SMS using an Action. But it is not fully automatic. When you send an email or SMS the app will only issue a request on the host device. The user has to click the send button ---

Thanks But to send an email, a paid plan is required. ☹ This is according to the documentation. And also, I had tried it before looking into the documentation, and got the error; [Send email] No DeliverEmail quota. ---

I think you tried to use the `Send Mail` option instead of the `Compose Mail`. Yes you need a paid plan for sending mail or SMS. But you can use the `Compose` actions in the free plan. Like I said, this will launch your local mail app or messages app and the the user has to complete the action manually by hitting the send button. ---

I tried the compose email, and it wanted to open the email program already, before I had added anything 🙂 Will think about it, if this is something I would like to use. 🙂 ---

You could add a separate tab or section in your app with a filtered collection that maybe shows restaurants that are newly added within the last week/month, or show restaurants that have certain columns that are empty. It’s not a notification, but could be useful if you open the app often. ---

Very recently I was thinking about something like that. But I thought, that if there would be a notification, I would know it quicker. But your suggestion also could work🙂 ---

For those who are interested, I made a workaound. I created a extra table, or should I say, I created a Google Sheet. In the “app” on the ADD button, in the “actions”, on Submit, I placed some data in the Google Sheet. With Zapier, I created a new Zap. When the Google Sheet is “updated” an email will be sent. I have tested it and it looks like its working 🙂 ---
