I have an app where users can choose from which postcodes they would like to receive notifications when new postings are made.

Where and how do I insert this action?  
Do I put the action on the add page and where?  
Which choices should I use in the action, so that only users who have chosen this particular postcode receive notification?

You can use the onSubmit event in the add form. Add a workflow that send the notifications. You will be good to go.

Note: Push Notifications has been deprecated and are not working. If you think that it must be re-enabled, you can vote on this post:

> That’s an incredible feature that absolutely needs to be part of Glide again! It’s so powerful, offering the ability to send notifications without relying on emails.

In the meantime, SMS or email, slack, discord and more are the way to go for notifications.

How are you storing the users’ choices?

The workflow would include you adding a relation column in the destination table to relate the posting’s postcode, to the column where you store postcode preferences in the users table.

Depends on which type you want: SMS or email, you use a joined list column to get a comma-delimited list of phone numbers or emails back to use in the next step.

Sorry for the late response, but I don’t have a lot of time in the week to work on this.

I assume that’s the “Valg postnumer” column.

You can create a split array column that splits that column into an array with the delimiter being a comma.

Then follow the steps here.

I’ve now made the split and the relation. Yay

 ![split](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/c/ecab622fd67e56f2e2f13538b668fddadc828bc8.jpeg)

Where do I put the “joined list column”? In the users sheet or destination sheet?

What should I use to send notifications?  
I can read that SMS cost money, right? And I don’t ask for users phonenumber, only their email.  
So I think mail would be best.

You’re getting closer!

You would have a joined list of emails in the “Efterlysninger hund” table.

Then, every time a post is made (assuming using a form), you add an on-submit action and send an email to the joined list of emails above.

Another question:

 ![besked](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/8/186ebe334dcf53febf0e2a61182b41f555adeecb.jpeg)  
Whoever made the post: “Recipient”.  
The person who made a comment on the post: “User”.

How do I go about it if I want to send email to “recipient” when there is a new comment and email to “user” when there is a reply to comment.

I think only I can figure out how to send to the person who made the post
