Hello Gliders!
For January, we brought native automations to Glide with Workflows; added new integrations for analytics and AI actions; and snuck some sought-after QOL upgrades into preview.
On the community side, our members shared a ton of new resources and project showcases over the last month. You’ll find some of those linked below.
Let’s get to it.
Note: Glide Experts get a weekly update every Friday with a summary of recent platform fixes + improvements. You should join the program if you’re building Glide apps for your clients.
Add automation to Glide with Workflows
Workflows bring automation to Glide with new triggers, logic, and action steps. Check out the Workflows announcement for details, along with our Workflows webinar replay and official docs.
Community Challenge: Workflows
Following the release of Workflows, we launched our first Community Challenge of the year, inviting you to share demos of Workflows built in Glide. There’s $400+ in Glide credit up for grabs! Winners + our next challenge will be announced this week.
Event: Grow your revenue by offering automation solutions
Eva Živanovič (@evazivanovic) is a Glide Certified Expert and founder of Ziki Solutions. Eva joined Brett Haralson, our Head of Experts, for a Q&A diving into how she’s grown her agency revenue by specializing in automation.

Following up on December’s announcements
We called out some new community initiatives in our December update.
Here’s what’s going on with those:
Experts Accelerator course in Glide University
- This is a “repackaging” of our Experts Accelerator content from last year’s cohort. It complements the existing Glide certification courses. We’re on track to launch in February.
Community Showcase for sharing your Glide app demos
- This was delayed due to our work on Glide Workflows. Plus, given we already have a Showcase section in the forum, we’re deciding whether this is worth continuing. More details to come.
More learning options for non-Experts
- We held our first invite-only customer training event last week, and we’re wrapping up our Workflows community challenge this weekend. February’s challenge will be announced this week, and we’re planning for more initiatives later this quarter and into the spring.
