Hi, i want to create a workflow that a user can click a button and can be assigned to 10 rows in my contacts table, but i cant seem to do it.  
Currently users are assigned by having their email written in column A of my contacts table.  
The users email is kept in the user profile.

Please let me know, how i can do this?

Which Glide Plan are you on?

I am asking because unless you are on a paid plan, your options may be limited (or at least different).

I have multiple users who are going through a contact list and reaching out to them and recording the result of the interaction.  
I want to make a button where the user can request additional contacts when their contact list is empty without an admin having to manually put their email in column A.  
I am able to create a button that will pop up when the users contact list is empty and link it to a workflow, but i dont know how to create a workflow that will do what i need it to do.  
I need the workflow to find the next 10 rows in my contact list that are empty in column A and to add the users email (in the user profile) into each of the 10 empty rows.  
Please let me know how i can do this

Okay, the easiest way to do this is with a Loop. I would use a combination of a User Initiated and Webhook Triggered workflows.

- The Workflow attached to your button should use a Trigger Webhook action to call the second workflow, and pass the signed in users email as a parameter.
- In the second workflow, create the following steps:  
– A Query JSON node, to extract the email address from the trigger request payload  
– A Loop that targets your contacts table, filtering where Caller is empty, and limited to ten rows  
– Within the loop, use a Set Column Values node, that updates the Caller column in the current row.
