Hello,  
We are building a glide app, we would like to record data from users, like numbers, and once they input the numbers and press submit, it will record the data in backend on glide sheet. We somehow also want to send the same data to influxdb to store it in the cloud db. Is there a way to do that? any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

For users to enter data you could use a form.

> **[Glide • Forms](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/guides/other/forms)**
>
> Control how you allow users to contribute to your app's data

To send that same data to a third party you could use a webhook.

Your flow from the form should include a ‘on submit’ action which triggers the webhook.

I haven’t used inFluxDB so I can’t speak of its capabilities but if inFluxDB can receive the webhook then that could work.
