Hi there! Is there a way to send an email to the user after a purchase is done? Thanks! ---

Zapier or Integromat will be your friend here 🙂 ---

As @AymenM said, use something like Zapier or Integromat and trigger on new rows in the App: Sales sheet. ---

Hi! How can you do this if you are only using Glide tables? I think I might be stuck. ---

Nope, you’ll not be able to do anything from your Glide tables as of now… ---

That’s a shame. How are my users supposed to receive their purchases then? All of the products in my app are digital goods. ---

You need to consider having your data appearing on your google sheets ---

Ok thank you, can I still add Google Sheets after the app has already been created? ---

Sure ! You can always do so. Our recommandation is that when **you are at the very beginning** of creating your app, if you think/consider that in a way or another you’ll have to use/transfer/update/delete/create… (you name it) your data with the help of automatic triggers… with the help of third-party sources you should always consider using Google Sheets. (Obviously this stands for current abilities with Glide tables, while we are waiting for improvements (export…)) ---

As you are using Glide Table you can use webhooks with Integromat for example. I use this alternative and it works very well for my use case See this link \> \> \> [Gmail, Webhooks Integrations | Integromat](https://www.integromat.com/en/integrations/gateway/google-email) In the image below I show an example of how I set this up in my app ![Capturar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/6/76fc12d2f7d0978d68a83bd51847b51831b0c886.jpeg) ---

Thank you, this is helpful. Is there any way to configure this example so that the webhook is triggered after a user completes a purchase in a detail view? ---

You can configure the webhook in an action… see this link \>\>\> [Webhook - Glide Library](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/actions/single-actions/advanced/webhook#configuration) ---

Would I need to recreate my app from scratch in order to do this? Thank you! ---

No, try to see if webhooks are helping you with custom actions. If no you should consider other alternatives such as recreate your sheet on Google Sheets. ---

To sum it up, as you may have found out, creating an app from scratch with Glide Tables will result in no space to write sales like when you have a Sheet as the base (in the App: Sales sheet). If you have already done a Glide Tables only app, there’s no way back. This is one of the reasons I think we should always create apps with Sheet as the base until Glide moves some of their automatically-created sheets into Glide Tables. Another case is when you need to trigger things based on Sheet rows (via Zapier or Integromat). Regarding the webhook, I don’t think the native Glide’s buy button can trigger anything. Best guess is to see if you can trigger on a new Stripe purchase in your Stripe account linked to Glide, otherwise I would advise using something like PayHere (still need Sheets to write orders back). ---
