Lovely! I’ve been already trying it out. See the massive upside potential with it and can’t wait to put it to work.
One of the things that I already noticed is that I can do each hour or each day. But nothing in between. If I want to do it every 3 hours, to keep my updates balanced - I would have to duplicate the workflow 8x.
I would love to add multiple times to a day component.
We are able to set name to individual actions. But could we also please name the big gray boxes (do they have a name?). So we can have a clear overview?
There is no way to trigger workflows directly based on the value in a column. What you could do is have a scheduled workflow that checks for rows where the date has passed.
Here is a real example of how we send announcements from our Experts Hub app. I have a scheduled workflow that checks every 30 minutes for rows where the announcement date has passed and has not yet been sent to Slack. My Set column values step logs when the workflow sends an announcement.
The scheduled options seems to be limited to business users? Is this going to be available for all glide users soon? I waited all year for this and sad to see it’s a premium feature.
The data that people will send through a form; usually only needs to be checked at the beginnining, middle & end of the working day.
However; in some cases I’m at location and than I rather have it checked every hour or even every 30min. Because I’m giving a demo or presentation - or I simply have a banner there for people to try out.
My specific usercase. I’m converting data into visuals (graphic or animated) so I can handle large scale. This way I can easily outperform 20-man agencies.
The more I think about it, why didn’t you guys follow the “design-language” (however it is called) of the other modules? Whenever I need to send a webhook, edit a row. I’m able to input values on the right bar from the table?
I would to love to dedicate a table just for scheduled planning.
That gives us the following options:
The ability to let users or admins change the scheduling from their app. Now I’m forced to enter the editor. Would be nice if I’m on location, to enable “performance mode”.
The ability to use those same tables to communicate to the app users when the updates will be in a dynamic way
Use a crazy helper table to fully dictate how my scheduling looks like and with filters & conditions switch it on the fly (see performance mode)
It is more logical interface wise; as we are already able to manipulate other actions through our tables; we just use workflows to trigger it.
I would like to give it a descriptive text so that if somebody else is going to work on it. Can see what the purpose is of the box, than also has an easier understanding of the workflow.
(Not just other, but also for myself)
I expanded the box and I would call it:
“Determine if data needs to be send or not”
We are on a non-profit plan, and cant afford a buisness plan.
Will scheduled workflows be avalible for other plans soon?
Maybe in a limited option? (maximum xx scheduled workflows, or only xx times a day, or something else)
Are you planing on make loops available for the “App interaction” trigger as well?
Similar to how Repeating groups works in Airtable?
This feature would be incredibly useful, as it could enable mass updates triggered by a button, particularly when working with tables or data grids. It would greatly enhance efficiency for handling bulk operations.
