Hi everyone, I’m seeking some guidance on setting up an email notification. Specifically, I would like to automatically send an email when the status of a project, as tracked in a column, changes to “Delivered.” The project status data is connected and updated from Airtable. I’ve attempted to achieve this using a custom action, but it hasn’t worked because the action isn’t linked to a component. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can set up an email trigger based on the status update? For example, if the status is marked as “Delivered” in Airtable, an email should be sent automatically from glide. Thanks in advance for your help! ---

I don’t think that’s possible. I think your options are either: - send the email from Airtable (if it supports it), or - change the status in Glide, then you can trigger the email with the same action ---

Hi Darren, thank you, that was also my plan b. I was hoping that someone might had a clever way to do it, but as you said, it’s properly not possible. ---

Airtable has built-in automations based on column values, so I think you should be able to do that on Airtable’s side. ---

Hi ThinhDinh, that is possible yes, but I want the email to be sent from glide. ---

Is there a specific reason? Can you describe more on how the status is changed?
