Hey folks 👋

I’m curious if anyone has developed a creative way for users to know when there are unread chats, image postings, etc. I’m currently playing around with the Glidegram template and there’s no way for me to notify users that there are new or unread messages.

Once triggered actions becomes a thing, this might be possible.

> Hi all! At Glide we are starting to think about how we are going to make it possible to make more powerful actions when users are interacting with your app. I’d love to hear about the actions you have been missing in your apps so far. For example: I have an app where I’d like a flag to be set in my users’ profiles when their survey forms have been completed.

> Hi @david Can you give us any bits of information regarding the timeline on glide actions? Weeks, Months, Years? The actions I am referencing specifically were the ones mentioned during the last meetup.
