Integromat

My gnarliest one:

My simplest one:

Wow quite the scenarios!
+1 on Integromat… however I’d rather have an API with Glide tables.
That way, anyone (Integroman, n8n, etc) could integrate Glide into their platforms.

For that wild one, I’m just curious (never having used Integromat before), but could some/most of that be done natively in Glide with IFTHENs? Not the notifications obviously, but the rest seems possible to me… or is it just simpler to do it all in Integromat?

I’m just thinking that there may be a slight delay when using Integromat (or similar), so doing as much as possible in Glide is the best approach, then use the others for what Glide can’t do.

It’s a beautiful flow

If it’s cheaper than zapier, count me in!

If I could have I would have

As a visual guy it’s a lot more satisfying than writing SQL queries

[V88]

Ditto. The visual aspect makes it simpler to build out and most importantly simpler to debug. Integromat does for your back-end processes, what Glide does for your front-end app.

It’s a marriage made in heaven. But we need “father” @Mark to hold the ceremony and make it official

I get that, but there would still be a delay between the Glide app itself syncing with the instantly-updated sheet.

Webhooks are effectively instant

[V88]

Just a quick shout out to @david in an attempt to resurrect this thread, based on your brief comments on YouTube yesterday. Maybe today is the day to call them?

So it strikes me that even being able to trigger a web hook (i.e. hit the URL) would be hugely beneficial. I’ve not used the existing Zapier integration but I imagine that it allows you to select what data to send to Zapier and then packages this up nicely in an agreed format. Makes things much easier and better for beginners. However, in the absence of this same mechanism for Integromat, if we just had a “hit this URL” action then we could trigger Integromat by web hook and pass whatever data we wanted via query string. @Mark does that make the request easier to address? I can do it NOW but only using an “open link” action which of course shows an ugly browser window.

[Mauronic]

Yup! I have 8 scenarios that are polling my spreadsheet every 15 minutes for “add new row” events in an attempt to trigger scripts “instantaneously” while not using too many operations per month.

A webhook tied to a button action in Glide would actually allow me to run these instantaneously while not eating through my operations quota.

[V88]

Yup. Exactly. Or a “hit web hook” action after a submission. Or after an “Add row”. Or even after a “Set column”. So useful.

[ehdubya]

This would have to be done via JavaScript right?

So for HTML, you wouldn’t be able to use this somehow?

<a_href=“javascript:close_window();”>close

obviously changed some of the formatting here

[Advance_Vision]

Do you also have a white page accepted with a http request as trigger?

[Drearystate]

I wont even use it but I think these people really want this @Mark. I’m in.

[V88]

Unfortunately yes
