Hey Folks! Loving to Glide! I am developing a chat app that would match students based on interests and allow them to chat. Can we integrate with a chat SDK with Glide or does Glide have a Chat plug-in? Thanks!! ---

Hi Carl, How many types of interests are we looking it at here? Do we let them input it via a choice component (as in fixed types), or not? ---

Fixed types (their will be multiple choice questions). Will run a separate algorythm for the matches and put the matches on google sheet, which will be read by Glide. Once a match is there, a chat should be listed between the pair. Once you click on the chat you should be able to start chatting (similar to whatsapp). That’s my target. Doable on Glide? ---

You can follow the steps as Lisa detailed in this comment: > [@Need help on creating private chat](https://community.glideapps.com/t/need-help-on-creating-private-chat/10686/11): > > Gotcha. I don’t have a video tutorial but these are the steps. Feel free to message me and we can set up time to walk through it if that will work best. Create a Messages sheet in Google sheets. Add a Row ID column. This will ensure every chat has a unique identifier. Add two columns titled “User 1” and “User 2” Within Glide, on your Messages tab, add the Comments component On a different tab/screen (ideally where you’ll want users to be able to start a chat) add a button compone…
