Hi SO there are probably posts about this but I cant seem to find them. Is glide planning on doing conditional action triggers? For instance if column = x then trigger action. This seems to be a core feature in airtable but I would love to do it in Glide Natively ---

If the value of the column becomes x as a result of something a user does, then you can already do this. The only time you can’t is if the column value becomes x as a result of the passage of time. As far as I’m aware, Glide haven’t confirmed that time-based triggers are planned, but many of us are hopeful that they are. ---

I see what you mean. To change the initial value there should be an input at one point. So that only leaves the time-based triggers. That would be a cool implementation ---

Now that I am back working I still see the above mentioned use case to be needed unless I am missing something. Lets say I move a kanban to a new status.Can this trigger an action in any way? ![SCR-20230703-kalc](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/5/05ef3be054fec9c358fef48200ecd3f1a184d7e6.png) I have the same question for when you add a choices component straight onto a details page. And not on an edit screen or a form. ---

I’ve not actually used the Kanban component, but not that I’m aware of. > [@Bradley\_Gibson](#): > > I have the same question for when you add a choices component straight onto a details page. No, you can’t trigger an action directly from a Choice component. ---

So it would need to be on a new screen with a button being the trigger. Don’t you think that having conditional triggers would be beneficial for cases like this? ---

Yeah, you can have an action that checks the state of the target column of a choice component, you just can’t trigger an action from the component itself when a user makes a choice. I’m in two minds as to whether or not actions on choice components would be a good thing. I know that people have asked for it, and I can imagine cases where it could be useful. But I can also imagine cases where it could get quite messy. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Yeah thats completely understandable. I was using Airtable for the last 3 years now and got really accustomed to conditional triggers. I was able to build really crazy automations using it. Maybe I should look at changing my workflow a bit to fit the Glide Tables a bit more.
