Glide Workflows Beta for Maker, Team (Legacy), Business plans

This will be possible with the webhook trigger workflow.

A question; which is directly also a feedback point.

In the documents I see the following image (see attachment)

For me now it is unclear if each update such as send email or column values is an update per row or an update for the whole table switch.

And how does it work when doing webhooks and emails? Still an update cost per row or per action?

If it is per row and update; than the workflow should communicate that better because it gives me the impression that it would only cost 5 updates in total instead of 1 + 4x amount of rows.

As you wrote, the final amount of updates will be 1 + 4X where X = size of loop.

A Set, Add and Delete column action will consume 1 update each if they are in the loop as well.

A Webhook or an email will work as trigger for your workflow soon. Currently, the only one trigger is based on time (calendar).

So just to double check.

I must send the form details to my n8n for further processing.
I would be still cheaper just sending it direct to my webhook than just batching it?

I was hoping that I could collect all the data from the last day. Send this data in one batch instead of seperate to save on updates. But if it cost to update each row to mark them as send, than I might as well send it directly to my webhook?

EDIT:

I’m completely confused now. I’ve been checking each module. The webhook, send mail, but also where I update columns.

They all have the same “Each run uses X update”. That communicates to me that for the whole run, it only uses one update. Not per row.

I’ve figured for now another way to process my idea. By using date and comparing it by “now”. Still saving massive amounts of updates.

The text “each run” refers to running that step. Three steps that each use 1 update when run use 3 steps. Put those three steps in a loop that runs 10 times and that’s 30.

It’s easier to think about with our more expensive steps. Running AI has a relatively high cost. If you run an AI step once, that’s 1 update. If you run it 10,000 times in a loop, that’s 10,000.

Maybe we should write “each use”?

Personally I find that better. Think also in the docs you need to give an example how much each scenario will cost so that people have a clearer understanding.

One mistake in building the workflow, will charge the user a lot of money.

hello @david

Any color on the scheduled workflow feature and if non-profit accounts will have access in beta or once it’s alpha?

I get popups to try the feature but then it says only for business accounts.

Thank you,

You are trying to delete the workflow and you get this error? Could you give me a link to the workflow?

This is amazing guys! Well done :slight_smile:
If we build a page with a calendar which can’t be seen by users which has a yearly events schedule to plan ahead, could we use the calendar to map out a year of activity and then use the the scheduled triggers to automate the calendar items? That way a daily trigger could be made for each event on any day of the year? Ill have to test it.

I was able to reproduce. Thank you for flagging!

We are looking into this bug.

I have a business plan but when I try to create scheduled workflow it prompts me to upgrade to a business plan. I noted now that my business plan says “Business 2023”. Is there more than one business plan?

You are on a legacy plan. There have been two iterations since you acquired the current plan you are on. The plans changed at the beginning of this year and again earlier this month. Since you are on a legacy plan, you are not guaranteed access to new features unless you upgrade to a current plan.

If we run into a potential bug should we post here or elsewhere?

Share any workflow/schedule trigger bugs in this thread.

Our team is watching the conversation. :slight_smile:

Not strictly a bug since I was able to troubleshoot and fix it but:

Working with a workflow, the final step of which is sending an email though the Gmail integration, it seemed to hang at that step. It didn’t fail and provide an error it just continued to run for a minute or two until I canceled it. Turns out The Gmail integration had lost its connection and needed to be reauthorized. Once I did that it ran fine but would be good if it just failed and identified that as the cause.

I’ve been waiting this for years!

Amazing, I’ll put it to test right now!

Oh well, it’s only for ‘Business’ accounts :confused:

It should be available for Maker/Business/Enterprise/Legacy Team plans.
