You want to send an email, would something like this works? Not talking about the image, the text only should be easy to setup.

> Hi, today I would like to show a concept of delivering digital membership card after users have bought a subscription pack. This consists of a form in Glide, a script in Google Sheets, some work with Cloudinary to come to the final product: a personalized email, with the image of the “digital membership card” inside. Here’s how it works in real time. [ezgif-1-024248462a01] You can try it out yourself in my test app: [https://tdslab.glideapp.io/](https://tdslab.glideapp.io/) I am trying to deliver the same thing for order…

You want to talk about the original topic, which is in-app chat, or the email automation?

> Okay gliders…I have solved all your chat app, push notifications, email notification etc, and website integration problems (i think latter wasn’t really an issue) Visit these two apps for the solution! YUP glide is compatible with tawk.to!!! I had it on my old webiste…I did not think I could somehow integrate it…well good news… I have not only managed to convert my word press site into web view (for those interested in converting websites to web apps, this should open up new opportunities).

I should make a video on how I made my chat app…but you can find it here. Developed this about 5 months ago:

Though your instructions are quite clear it’s easier to begin with a template, so I’ll use your template as base to build my own chat app.  
Thank you for your job

Looks great Robert.  
Just to double check:

- This can be integrated into any existing Glide app, i.e. not standalone app.
- Can it be made into a floating button rather than nav bar item (similar to the + icon) ? Reason being, running out of space in nav bar.
- Does the each conversation count against the 25,000 data row limit?
- How dynamic is the ability to connect with users? We are creating a marketplace app we want customers to be able to chat with sellers and people will be coming on as they sign up.  
Thanks!

Yes that’s true.

>

As it’s utilizing the comments, that’s a no.

As long as you have the right flow this will be scalable in my opinion.

1.) Yes, my template is standalone, but it can be replicated into any app…I’ve done it myself several times.  
2.) Nope. Glide doesn’t offer this UI  
3.) Each conversation, yes. Each post within a conversation, no.  
4.) Surely can be dynamic based on your visibility settings.

So I’m making an app from the instagram template so my friends and I can communicate, and i’m trying to make a part where you can chat individually with a person and can switch between people and can see a list of their names. How would I do this?

hey @Kofi_Hair-Ralston

Take a look at this “instagram” that I have been playing with

> **[Instagram Oct, 2020](https://snowy-field-0962.glideapp.io/)**

It has the in-app chat and a way to send images through the chat. Only problem, when you have an array of pics it sonly sends the 1st one. I am trying to come up with a wat to send the one that it is selected or the whole array.

I hope this helps.
