Hello Gliders!

Community Challenges are back, starting with our first launch of the year:

:sparkles: Workflows :sparkles:

Workflows let you add automation to your Glide apps, no 3rd party tools required.

For this challenge, we want to see you put workflows to work.

Use Case :briefcase:

We’re keeping it broad for this first challenge.

You can build any kind of app you’d like, but it must include at least one of the new trigger types:

  • Schedule
  • Email
  • Webhook

And it should make use of:

  • Inline loops
  • Conditions

See our Introduction to Workflows in the Glide docs for more details.

For this Glide Community Challenge, I built an app to manage criminal record data and showcase how Glide Workflows can simplify automation.

What’s inside:

  • Schedule Workflows: Automate recurring tasks to keep things running smoothly.
  • Email Workflows: Receive emails and run tasks directly from the app for efficient communication.
  • Webhook Workflows: Connect external systems to add extra functionality.
  • Inline Loops and Conditions: Handle repetitive tasks and make workflows smarter.

I’ve put together a short video to walk you through the app, explain the workflows I used, and show how it all works behind the scenes.

This is my entry for the challenge, and I’d love to hear your feedback! If you have any questions, feel free to reply here, reach out to me on the forum, or drop me an email at me@maximebaker.com.

Excited to see what everyone else has built!!!
