Is there a way to trigger a workflow when a user presses one of the navigation tabs?

No.

That’s a shame. Thanks for the reply.

You could trigger a workflow but having a button that leads to a tab, and you can hide that tab from the nav bar.

Unfortunately this strategy won’t work for me. Thanks anyways.

You may be able to do something with the custom AI component and get it to call a workflow action when the screen renders, and without user interaction. I think a few people have been able to pull that off.

Can confirm that it should work, but be careful on what kind of workflow you want to trigger and if it costs you updates.

Interesting. Thanks so much for the advice :pray:

I wouldn’t know what to prompt the AI to achieve this? Do I first create the workflow and then prompt the AI to when “x” tab is pressed active “x” workflow?

I’m only looking to set a few column values in the native users table so it shouldn’t use updates I wouldn’t think?

If you’re not on Enterprise and setting that to a Glide Table, then it should not cost updates.

I think this post will be helpful for you. I think you can instruct the AI to either trigger an action workflow or just have the custom component set multiple column values itself.
