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 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]

@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.

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.

Upload a file and retrieve a link is technically possible already.
