I’ve been using GlideApp for more than a week now to build a CRM for my client. He wants to have an email notification received specifically to each user who sets the reminders. I tried syncing the data and setting the “Time Until Reminder” column math formula but the user is not receiving any email. The worst part is I feel like my workflow is not functioning. Is anyone here who knows how to troubleshoot this? By the way I ask ChatGPT and seems like the guide it’s giving me ain’t working LOL sorry I am new to app building and I badly need help. I attached the workflow I created.
This is not how it would work.
Your math column would calculate, but your users have to interact with the app, specifically your “Reminders” row for it to work. This is a user-initiated workflow.
I feel like Glide is not a great method to do stuff like this, not because it can’t, but it would cost you a bunch of updates.
Time-based workflows are available on paid plans. Theoretically you can set it up like this:
- Calculate the exact time to remind people, in UTC (not your timezone, because time-based workflows work with UTC I believe).
- Set a workflow to run every 15 minutes (since I see your notification times are set 15 minutes apart). Check every row in your reminders table to see if the current time is the exact UTC time to remind. If yes, send the notification.

Yeah the screenshot does say they are on Maker plan so not sure why they just didn’t use the time-based workflows
