@Robert_Petitto I’m using your method of updating membership status in the users table. I’m using the api call to [Payhere.co](http://Payhere.co) using the Date Time to update the account status, however, I’m incurring massive update fees because i just loops every second causing multiple updates for how many rows I have in the users table. I blew threw $200+ in a few hours by having that active. Is there a work around to avoid the update waste?

Ya, at the time of this video, there wasn’t a “refresh after” field. Make sure you set this to a value that you’re comfortable with. The only downside is that there will be a delay from the time a user pays to when it shows up in the app. If you need something more instant, then you can leverage a service like Make ([https://www.make.com/en/register?pc=robert](https://www.make.com/en/register?pc=robert)) to accept a webhook from payhere that then calls Glide.

Here’s how I typically make this happen:

Thanks for the fast reply @Robert_Petitto I’m working on something pretty cool that I think will benefit the Glide Community as a whole. Mind taking a look? I can send you the url.
