I have a google sheets setup that downloads data from my fitbit and performs various actions using IFTTT. It is quite manual (three different sheets need to be opened for the IFTTT formula to run successfully. Could this kind of setup be bundled and packaged with Glide?

Hey @Rosewebstudio , Thank you for the IFTTT info, but did not exactly find what I was looking for. May be you can help with the explanation below: I am taking text as input from a user. The text gets stored in Google Sheet. Now I want to use this text and make an external API call (something lik…

@Roger great question. I have not explored the abilities you raise in point 2 so cannot really comment. Using IFTTT to do what you want is probably out of the scope of this forum, perhaps better posted somewhere like this? or somewhere similar https://www.reddit.com/r/ifttt/ An expert on IFTTT ca…

@Rosewebstudio Thank you for your response. I think i’ll go with integromat. It has the capability to do exactly what I want.

@Roger Excellent, perhaps once you have worked it through you could show off your app to us…

[image] Roger: Now I want to use this text and make an external API call (something like reddit / wiki) to retrieve additional data and info. Just curious, can you specify what sort of data and info can you extract from API calls?

@ThinhDinh Typically, these APIs return JSON data. Therefore, it’ll need bit of post processing to get what I want. Not sure if I answered your question.

Oh so from the input text you will use that as an input to IFTTT to extract things like definition etc.?

That’s what I was thinking, but looks like the integration with IFTTT doesn’t exist.

Not sure if it helps but probably you can try looking at IMPORTXML or IMPORTHTML to look for the info you need, if you want alternatives for Integromat, for example.

Great, thanks. What are these? Can I use it to make an API call?

Probably you can do it with scripts, if you can be more specific about what you are trying to get back then we can give better solutions for you.
