Hello
It occurs to me that if you donāt want to search from choice you can do the following:
If you have a screen with user profiles, when you know who you want to chat with, enter the profile detail and there configure a form button to request chat directed to the message sheet, as they told you above.
Being inside their profile, you can add their email (receiver), your email (active connected to the users table) and then a unique ID, etc.
It remains to be seen if you need any type of acceptance by the other user. It could also be configured.
I would do as Lisa said, but point 5.
The screen could be the profile of the user you want to chat with.
In point 8, being inside the recipientās profile, you already have the data, you only have to add all the columns you want to the message sheet. And if you have configured the login with that profile sheet, the sender email can also get it.
I hope that helps.
Cheers.-
Excuse the background noise But you can see this applied to the Glidegram app. Since button is on the selected profile page, you can set the field to that userās email.
Hi Lisa - I have 2 (hopefully) quick followup questions:
Iām using Glideās native lookup functionality to pull a user name into my āPrivate chatā sheet (Example in 1st screenshot: User relation 1 -> User name, User relation 2 -> User name), but for some reason, I canāt even access this data for use as the ātitleā element on my inline list of all chats (view featured in screenshot and orange circles indicate where Iām trying to place a userās name). Any idea what Iām doing wrong, or if thereās an easier way to implement user names as titles in a list?
How have you managed to show the OTHER userās profile image and info in this list view (I send you a chat, you see my profile image while I see yours)?
This was the thing I struggled with when I created this same type of chat, admittedly I didnāt have time to think about it thoroughly at that time so any ideas would be welcomed. Thank you in advance.
Thanks Jeff, but what I am thinking now is that If > Then column will be static and does not change based on which user is logged in. Maybe Iām missing something here and will need to try that again when I have time.
In a private chat, only 2 people are in the array user columns. Iām thinking that if you compare each the user1 column to the user profile user, it should dynamically work based on who is logged in. And since the user should only see chats that pertain to them, it should work.
I think this may be the path forward. I attempted something like this, and wasnāt quiiite able to nail down the logic. Maybe with fresh eyes, tomorrow.
On āis the relation Multiple?ā - Not sure I follow, Jeff.
I have a User 1 Relation and a User 2 Relation, and it seems I have both of those set to match multipleā¦

Hope this helps!
