I am making a very simple app that allows someone to place an order. However, I am unable to figure out how to connect my created “Checkout” button to be able to have a message sent to me saying “an order has been created”. Is that possible in the free version? I don’t care how the message is sent (even if it’s still internal in the app) but I need a way to receive a notification somewhere that an order has been placed

  • Use a custom action on the button that also adds a row to a “Notifications” table.
  • Include a “Read At” date/time column in that table, and leave it empty when a new row is added
  • Add a collection to a screen that lists all notifications where “Read At” is empty
  • When a notification is viewed, use a custom action to set “Read At” to the current date/time before showing the details screen.

That’s just one approach. There could be many many other approaches.

I need assistance with the third step. I’m not exactly sure what you mean. I’m sorry, I am new and this is my first attempt at making an app. What does “add a collection” mean?

I’m not fully understanding step 3 and step 4. I bet this works and I totally appreciate the time taken to help me, but I’m struggling. Any one willing to assist either via “zoom” or “TeamViewer”? I’m honestly very stuck.

I would recommend spending a little time in Glide University to learn some of the basics. An hour or two there will be a good investment, and will save you many hours of hand wringing in the future.
