In this intermediate-level video, youâll learn how to allow users to request to be a friend to another user.
Allow users to request friendship Allow that user to accept/decline the request Accepting a friend requests mutually adds friendship Allow either friend to remove the friendship (mutually ends the friendship)
This one uses quite a bit of array logic and a few custom actions on buttons, but the UX is pretty slick!

Hi @Robert_Petitto thank you very much for this thorough tutorial!
The only thing I donât understand is how to get access to (or purchase) your template?
Thank you for your answer.
Thank you Robert,
This is awesome! I had no idea that this kind of subscriptions existed through Youtube.
As I am following you from France, the Youtube page displays 2 buttons: subscribe (to follow the channel) and âRejoindreâ (basically: join) which is the way to become a VIP member.
In short: not very intuitive given that there are already 3 links one can click.
This makes my day, again thanks.
YeahâŠOne day Iâll have a proper community with proper and more obvious ways to âjoinâ. DM me if you still canât find what youâre looking for!
@Robert_Petitto Iâm confused about how users find other users to add them as friends. presumably they should search âjohnâ and it would look at info in the public profile table. I would want them to be able to search by email but i donât want that exposed in the public profile section. How should they do that?
You canât have your cake and eat it too
If the email address isnât in the Public Profile then itâs not possible. You canât find something that doesnât exist.
If you make email a row owner column, then the only row accessible to a user with a search will be their own. They wonât have any kind of access to rows of other users that they do not own.
If you have an email that is just hidden from view on the screen, but the rows with that email are accessible to all users (not under row ownership), someone could still snoop the network traffic and underlying code to figure out someoneâs email address.
Have you been able to âdouble friendâ at once time? friends is working correctly adn i set up an invite system which is connecting users to codes. HoweverâŠsince I cant record the invitee email in a public table, i can not figure out how to double friend for this case.
-existing user invites new user and provides code.
-new user creates account and âacceptsâ friend request (it can be done the normal way bc the user is new and wasnt actually invited)
from the friend logic i can 1- add the friend in one direction (the user adding to the invitee since the use is logged in) but canât see how to do it bi-directional.
Anoterh question is how to send an email to alert a user that a friend has requested them. emails are not in the public profile tablesâŠis there a way to do this?
Hey fellow Gliders!
Allow users to request friendship
