Please is there a way to do one on one chat with anot her user instead of a global chat

Still getting used to Loom :grin: Hope this helps!

@gvalero I want to now how to do 1 on 1 chat

Yes. See glidegram.glideapp.io for an example of how I included direct chat. Essentially you’ll want to create a ‘Chats’ sheet and allow users to add other users with a form. Other gliders like @Robert_Petitto have also created 1-on-1 chat features.

A tutorial for @Robert_Petitto’s approach is below: [image] In-app chat Feature Requests Here’s how I was able to accomplish private messaging:

@Lisa this video is for comments only admins can see I want one that the users can chat privately within themselves

There’s a lot of good examples above. The only other one I can offer, which is very basic, is concepts2.glideapp.io. Basically you need a portion of your app that’s filtered or accessible through relations, where only those in the chat can get to and see that screen. Then that’s where you place a comments component to use for chat

Gotcha. I don’t have a video tutorial but these are the steps. Feel free to message me and we can set up time to walk through it if that will work best. Create a Messages sheet in Google sheets. Add a Row ID column. This will ensure every chat has a unique identifier. Add two columns titled “User 1” and “User 2” Within Glide, on your Messages tab, add the Comments component On a different tab/screen (ideally where you’ll want users to be able to start a chat) add a button component In the features section for the button component, set the Action to Show form Then click the button, you will then be able to click what sheet the form should write to, essentially where the data will go. You should choose your Messages sheet. On the form, add a choice field for User 2. For the choices, you can select the users sheet or whatever sheet houses all of your user information. You should select the user’s email address as the value to write to the User 2 field. With this, the user will be able to select which user they want to chat with. You’ll also need to set the field for User 1 to the current user. You can do this by creating a Template column set to the current user’s email address. Make sure to place this column on the same sheet that you’ve placed the button for users to start a chat, otherwise Glide will not pull in the data to populate the column. Once you’ve created this form and have submitted some test data, the last step is to create a relation column between the users in your Messages sheet and your users.

Check this out. This is not a multiple sign up app. This is single user 1on1 chat app. wizChat.glideapp.io
