Feels like I’m missing something quite apparent here in my efforts to create a simple export of a table (page) content.
I have a restaurant menu grouped by category. Looks ace on glide pages. Customer needs to create pdf of this from time to time and send it to his clients.
So I created a button, created a webhook. Connected it to Make and created a flow so that it via [[params]] writes data to a google docs template. As I would like to construct a template for this food menu using the data coming from the glide page, I am having issues, as only the first row is shown in the document itself (so the connection works kind of)…
Managed with a joint list to list all items in a google doc. Final thing to figure out now is to group them by category so that I can add headers for the different categories in the export, and data from the price column next to each item and I’m all set. Hopefully wont be an all nighter
Still haven’t figured the final steps of this one out. As I need to list items per category as separate sections in docs I suspect I am missing some parameters in glide tables. I think I might need to export the per category from three different locations, perhaps. And I also need to display the data from a different column (price) next to each item. The prices are individual for each item. Any pointers regarding solving this would be much appreciated
To construct that in Glide, you’d have a separate joined list for each category, and then you’d combine the lot in a single template, that would look something like this:
That is true. At first try I tried to send the menu to the template to Make but couldn’t figure out the config on make end. So did a quick switch and sent the categories separately and works for this purpose. I now need to reflect for a couple of hours and go through the steps and verify what I have done and how all things are connected. Appreciate all the help, it really helped a lot!
Oh one thing I haven’t figured out yet is how I can get value from a price column to be displayed next to the product names with a blank space in between.
Reviving this one. I added a switch to each table to mark the row as active or inactive. It should only take into account where status is set to true, and this should be sent to webflow cms collection, google docs template etc. But it isn’t. Not when using the joined list solution. That worked well when all things could be sent but not when there are conditions. Trying to figure this out. Any help appreciated.
The way I deal with this is to create an if-then-else column that returns the template column only for rows that meet the filter criteria, and then create my joined lists using the if-then-else column.
Ah of course it now also passes the status true along into the food menu. Need to figure out how to only pass the food item name and keep the conditional logic.
The JSON part I assume is done over at Integromat right?
