I’m coming from the Shopify world of custom apps. Glide is so good that I could potentially eliminate all of my Shopify apps by building my own apps and integrating into Shopify. I’m using Airtable and Integromat, but I still haven’t figure out how to pass variables to glide via JavaScript., without having the user login yet again to Glide. The goal is that when a user connects to a glide page, that the login email is passed to Glide based on the user being logged into Shopify. Then I use Glide to filter the information to show, but is there now creative way to pass variable or login information to glide? ---

Do you mean when the user logs in to your Shopify, that user should have a profile created on your Glide App? What variables do you want to pass? ---

Actually I already know how to do that through Integromat. I want Glide to receive the email address of whoever is logged in from Shopify. I want a filtered portal in Glide that displays the users past orders in a Kanban view, but I don’t want the user to have to login to Shopify then login to Glide. I want to pass the users email from Shopify to Glide so the user doesn’t have to login to see their info. Shopify has an environment variable named {{customer.email}} and I want to pass that info to Glide ---

If you can trigger it every time a user logs in to Shopify, then you would be able to add a row to your Glide database, I assume. Add a step to check if the email has already existed, and only add a row if it has not been added. ---

Yes, I have a Shopify Webhook that sends to Integromat every time a user logs in. I can easily update the Glide or Airtable database and add a row, but how will Glide know exactly who is logged in during the session, given that multiple users can be logged in at a given time. The idea is that the use clicks a link where the Glide app resides and someway I want to pass the variable {{customer.email}} to the app so that the app knows which user is logged in already. ---

A session is the length of time when a user is logged in and either logs out or is no longer active. ---

There is no way to automatically sign a user into a Glide app. The best you can do is send a magic link to the user directly from the builder, but there is no automated way to do that with your scenario. ---

Can I automate the creation of a magic link via API. If so, then I could dynamically create a link for the user with the magic link, because the email address will be known from the Shopify environment variables `{{customer.email}}`, so I can give the logged in user the correct magic link. ---

@Jeff_Hager Thanks Jeff! Been researching this for months and seems there is no way even with the new Actions. So sad, because I could eliminate 5-6 Shopify apps by using Glide and would really supercharge my Shopify store! ---
