Hi! I’m looking to send a push notification to users when a new row is added to Glide. Any method to trigger the new Glide Actions push notifications any other way than via user interaction? ---

I’ve been away for a few weeks so my information might be out-of-date. When push notifications were released on iOS and Glide added the _Push Notifications_ integration late March (4 weeks ago), push notifications could only be triggered via a user integration. This still seems to be the case. ---

I haven’t tried the “Push Notifications” action much, but wouldn’t it be able to use an on-submit action to do exactly what you need? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/6/263d37a9a5ac03e9f1ab016d55fec68f7cf2aa93.png) ---

@ThinhDinh the rows are being added via the API, so I don’t have the ability to trigger something like “on submit” or any user interaction. I would think if this as a common scenario. ---

Ah, that’s fair, though I’m not sure if we have enough data to consider it a common scenario or not. ---

Yeah, I get that- I guess with Glide actions, people will get more into automation… A common scenario would be assigning tasks and notifying the assignees etc ---

There are a lot of things they can add to the API, say upload a file and retrieve a link, that would be a good first step. Doing actions from the API would be pretty cool. ---

Upload a file and retrieve a link is technically possible already. [Check this out](https://community.glideapps.com/t/deep-links-send-parameter-to-the-app-url/1160/24) ---

I’m not sure I understand. Can you elaborate? ---

What is it you meant by “upload a file and retrieve a link”? ---

I mean uploading a file through the API, then get the resulting file URL populated through the API to a row in the table. ---

Ah yes- I guess the best solution would be thru Make- Uploading the file to a Google cloud bucket instead and adding the link to Glide. ---

If you add the rows via an API call, then it’s a no go. ---

Yep, couldn’t figure this out unfortunately 🥲 There is essentially no way to trigger push notifications outside of internal actions. **Although- here’s a ridiculous solution!** Find an RPA Platform which will just click a Button in Glide every time you send a webhook to it 👀 And that button will be the notification action button. ---

Also, RPA can upload file. Genius ---

Yes! Although I would upload the file via the API, it’s cleaner, simpler, more scalable. I would leave RPA for notifications only- after the file was uploaded. Now we need to find the simplest RPA Platform to achieve this ---

Ok- I think Bardeen (NoCode RPA) would be easy to implement, especially for something as simple as this. > **[How to use Bardeen scraper | Bardeen Tutorial](https://www.bardeen.ai/tutorials/scraper)** > > Complete guide on the Bardeen scraper and how to use it.

Hey @Eden, did you have any luck setting this up with Bardeen? After reading your thread I’ve tried to use Bardeen to automate a button click within a Glide app when a new row is created, but can’t figure out what action to use… I’m using Airtable as my data source, and tried various approaches using including Airtable, Zapier, Make & now Bardeen - I’m surprised there isn’t a more obvious solution to this!
