I am trying to create a multi-step action for a button (Add Row + Set Column Values). However, the “Create New Action” option does not appear in the action menu, and the Workflows tab appears completely blank. I need to trigger multiple steps on a single button click.
Hi, I want to make an app in Glide, but it requires a function in a button: the “add row” function and also “set column values.” I don’t know how to implement or configure it, and this information appears in the button’s settings or actions.
For your app to work perfectly, you need two steps on that button. Here’s exactly what you need and what each one does:
- The first step: “Add Row” (Save)
What it does: It takes the information the server selected (Flavors, Price, Product) and sends it to your Excel/Data sheet.
Why you need it: If you don’t do this, the order will never be saved, and the kitchen won’t know what to prepare. This is the “Record” step.
Setup: You connect it to the “Orders” table and link each column to the values on the screen.
- The second step: “Set Column Values” (Clear)
What it does: It clears what’s written in the “Flavor” boxes on the phone’s screen.
Why you need it: Because in Glide, when you select something, it stays selected. If the server doesn’t clear it, the next customer will have the previous customer’s flavors already selected. This is the “Draft” option.
Configuration: You use the “Clear Value” option for the columns Flavor_1, Flavor_2, etc.
Click “Create new workflow” in your screenshot, and then you’ll be able to name your workflow, and add multiple steps to it.
