Hello Community!

My Glide App displays a bunch of blog posts, where each post has a button linked to an external url. I have setup a custom action that Increments my Views Column by 1 and opens the external link. However, without having Google Tag Manager, I’d like to track the date of each view for each post so I can then graph the performance of such post over time. I can then also see the highest performing posts, etc.

Any help or examples of apps that do this would be very helpful!

How about have the custom action also write to another column that tracks when the button was pressed?

Or an add row action that will write the link and current data to a new sheet.

I tried the Add Row Action to a separate sheet that captures Post ID and Date and seems to work. Awesome, thanks!
