"@mention" your data in Components, Actions

Announcements
1

Hello Gliders!

You can now easily reference and combine multiple data values — including text, numbers, and images — directly in the property panel for Components and Actions by using “@mention” tags.

For example…

  • Rich Text: Create information-rich displays for dashboards that blend real-time data with context by @mentioning columns in the Rich Text Component.

  • Glide AI: Instruct Glide AI to create more insightful reports by referencing specific data points. You might ask it to analyze monthly business performance, factoring in historical data, product categories, and customer demographics—all by simply @mentioning the relevant columns.

  • Send Email: Personalize sales notifications by dynamically inserting customer names, purchase histories, and tailored recommendations into a single email body with just a few @mentions.

By making interacting with your data as simple as tagging someone in a doc, you can build dynamic, powerful Glide apps faster than ever.

P.S. Special thanks to everyone who joined the inline templates beta. Your feedback was crucial for us to get these improvements out the door. :pray:

This is great. We still need it in a couple more areas:

  • Show Notification action
  • Query JSON column/action

I need to internalize these @mentions, because recently I created quite a few template columns mostly for display purposes, and I’m realizing that I probably didn’t need to.

Also, please beware of this type of thing.

I think this is a bug, I only have one “ActualProjectOption” in my data, in User Profiles table. This looks like one that is tied to the row I’m viewing, and one for the signed-in user’s. Hard to tell which is which if you don’t have a value already in one of those (I believe user profile’s is the second).

Is this the same as this which appears in my Preview Features page? If so - I had to turn it off today as I was getting issues in the Action Editor. I could not select the correct table for an Add Row action. On the Slack Group - it was suggested turning this off, which fixed the issue. Can provide more info if needed.

Certainly without this feature enabled, I can not use @mentions in the Rich Text component (for example)

Apologies. I see it has already been posted about here. To be out of preview or not to be. But if it is out of preview - it’s broken!

Also maybe worth noting: “and images”.

I’m having trouble visualizing how this would work, so I really do need to spend time experimenting with this.

It’s just a URL under the hood. You can reference that URL where you want.

Hi @NoCodeAndy !
It’s great feature :+1:, thank you to the team :pray:.
So very important to fix it’s children’s bugs.
I’ve checked in my case
1 :-1: Dismissing double tagging by the @Column, see screen

  • the 1st RowID is SU RowId
  • the 2nd RowID is Current Row RowID
    But both are named as User Profile Columns

    2 :-1: We have usually tens of RowID Columns in each App, or another Columns with equal Names. And we can’t see the difference which exact Column or even a Table we choosed here. Impossible to control :face_with_spiral_eyes:

    Color tagging or some emoji would be nice solution, please :pray:
