Sheduled workflows

I was excited to see scheduled workflows beeing integrated in Glide, but was quickly disapointed to see it was only for buisness
Im a voulenteer for RedCross, and since we are a non-profit organisation, we can’t afford a buisness plan.

We use Glide to manage the equipent we have for search and rescue operations. The voulenteers check out equipent they use for an operation, and then check it in when they are finished.

What we need is an option to send an email/notification to a user after X days, if they have forgotten to check it in.

I have no experience with software development before I used glide, so i have not been able to figure this out. I have tried with Zapier and Make, but I dont understand how to make this work.

Can anyone help me with my problem?

Will scheduled workflows be avalible for other plans soon? Maybe in a limited option? (maximum xx scheduled workflows, or only xx times a day, or something else)

Are you on a legacy non-profit plan? If you use the new Maker plan, you should have access to the Glide API through Make.com.

From that, the steps would be:

  • Querying all rows from the related table with the Glide module.
  • Calculate the number of “X days” using Make functions, if it crosses your threshold, then send an email.

I’m not sure about this, at the moment there seems to be no chatter about it.

Yes, we are on the Legacy Non-Profit plan.
Does this mean we have to change plan to make this work?

does this plan include glideAPI?
If yes you can easily set a scheduled action like thin said

if not you need to get a plan that includes the API
