Hello Gliders! **We held our first Glide Next session of the year today, showing you how to build automations in Glide with Workflows.** The full recap – with replay and slides – is available on our site: > **[Glide Next: Workflows](https://www.glideapps.com/events/glide-next-workflows)** > > Automate your Glide apps and agents with triggered workflows. You can also find a shorter version on our YouTube channel: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/a/aa6dc050e30962b0ce579670269707f824a0f1af.jpeg "Webinar Replay: How To Add Automations to Glide with Workflows") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQVlcZ6t6qI) ## Workflows Q&A Chat was buzzing with questions throughout the session. Highlights: **What advice do you have for getting started with Workflows?** - One of the safest ways to get started with Workflows is by performing tasks that are “read only”. - For example, you can use Glide AI to format structured data into a notification, then send that to your team via Slack message or email every morning. This lets you get comfortable with Workflows without running the risk of creating unnecessary data. - If you are creating new data, e.g. by adding a row or working with loops, you can set a low limit (e.g. 1). Do that until your workflow is working as expected, then expand to 10 rows, 100 rows, and so on. **How do Workflows in Glide compare to other automation tools?** - Workflows complete Glide’s “trifecta” as an all-in-one platform alongside Data and Layout. We believe that this will make it easier to quickly build, deploy, and manage solutions for your team. - If your Glide solution needs automations, you should always start with Workflows, because they’re native to Glide and tightly coupled to your app’s data. - Workflows can still connect to 3rd party automation tools through our native integrations, i.e. [Zapier](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/integrations/zapier) and [Make](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/integrations/make), as well as through webhooks and APIs. Think of these as extensions for edge cases that aren’t covered by Workflows. **Will new Workflows education and certification be available?** - Yes! Look out for announcements in the coming weeks about additional documentation and resources in [Glide Docs](https://glideapps.com/docs) and [Glide University](https://learn.glideapps.com). - Keep in mind that we’re in the _very_ early days of Workflows. The team is still fine-tuning everything and locking in the details. That includes specifics around row limits, update consumption, integration support, etc. **Will new triggers be added?** - Yes. In fact, if you watch the replay, you’ll notice we’re already experimenting with a Slack trigger. Expect more triggers to come this year. **Can Workflow templates be shared like app templates?** - This is something we’re very interested in and actively working on. We don’t have more concrete details to share right now, but you can **Will the App Interaction trigger get access to loops and conditions?** - The current App Interaction trigger – which is actually Custom Actions under a new name – will _not_ receive the new loop and condition steps. **Will the new Workflow triggers become available to legacy plans?** - No. You will need to upgrade to the latest Maker or Business plan to access the new Schedule, Email, and Webhook triggers. **Have additional questions or comments? Drop them in this thread.** Thank you! 🙏 ---

Hi thanks for the summary video! I believe i’m on the latest Maker plan and I’m able to view the new “workflow triggers”. However, I can’t seem to find loops & conditions for normal “App Interactions” trigger in my Workflow builder? Am I missing something? ![Screenshot 2025-01-18 at 12.46.06 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/7/47c8aaaeed71da45c55964bd73c4c3b79d2c4619.png) ---

> [@reimonade](#): > > However, I can’t seem to find loops & conditions for normal “App Interactions” trigger in my Workflow builder? That’s because they don’t exist for App Interaction triggers. They only exist for the new workflow types: Scheduled, Webhook, Email. ---
