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!!!

Hi All,

I have built an AI agent that reads incoming emails, and determines whether it is a sales or technical support inquiry!

I’ve gotten a few DMs from members asking for more build time.

We’ve extended the deadline to Sunday, February 2nd.

You have the weekend to wrap up and submit your demos! :smiley:

Awesome! Here’s a demo that showcases a homework planner app built for a middle school, designed to integrate with their student information system (SIS). The app automatically pulls in student and class data through scheduled Glide workflows, keeping everything up to date.

Key Features & Workflow Details

  • Automatic Data Sync – The app pulls student and class information from the SIS into Glide tables, which can then be linked across the project.
  • AI-Generated Subtasks – Students can enter a general task (e.g., “Study for math test”), and an AI workflow suggests subtasks to break it down into manageable steps.
  • Task Reminders – The app sends an email reminder the night before a task is due, ensuring students don’t forget assignments.
  • Email-Based Task Completion – Instead of opening the app, students can reply to the reminder email with “Complete”, and the system will automatically update the task status.

How It Works Behind the Scenes

  1. Webhooks & AI – When a student requests subtasks, an internal webhook triggers an AI workflow that generates structured subtasks in JSON format.
  2. Scheduled Reminders – A workflow runs every evening, checking for incomplete tasks marked for reminders, then sending an email to the student.
  3. Email Parsing & Automation – If a student replies to a reminder email with confirmation, the system extracts the task ID from the email, verifies the response, and marks the task as complete.

The app keeps things simple on the front end while leveraging powerful automation, webhooks, and AI-driven workflows to improve the user experience.
