I’m exploring the new actions and loops and can’t figure out how to get an app interaction, like a user pushing a button, to drive a repeated if/then action like a looped action.

I have five columns in a table that I want my action to check and see if they are empty—then skip, or if they have a value in them—complete a series of actions like adding a row in a new table.

Can anyone help?

What I would do, is create a webhook workflow to do so, and call that webhook from app interaction workflow using a call api action. That way, you will be able to do exactly what you asked for. If you need further help, just let me know!

Thanks Maxime. I’m on the Business Legacy plan, so it won’t let me use webhooks any more without upgrading to a new plan. And it looks like the cost per update has gone way up (only 5k updates from 25k updates in the legacy plan). Am I missing something?

No, you are right, the number of updates has decreased. You can take a look here at how it decreased:  
[Legacy Pricing | Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/pricing/legacy).  
The Trigger Webhook and OpenAI integrations are no longer available on legacy free plans. To access these features, create a new team with the plan level required.

In regards to the business plan…note that the new plans do not count updates against glide data sources, which in many cases accounts for 80% of the updates you are incurring on a legacy plan.
