I have a screen for new users called “Create Account.” It asks the new user to fill out First Name, Last name, Email, and includes a check box for agreeing to terms. The user input is saved in the User table. All this is working fine. However, I also have a column called “Welcome Message” that is set to Template type, that takes the column data from First Name. Upon “Submit”, the user info is written to the User table and then they are brought to a Home Screen. The Home Screen displays the message “Welcome, (with the new user’s first name.” The new user is created, but the Welcome Message does not update. Any ideas on how to fix this issue. I’ve tried setting delays upon “Submit” so that the table has a chance to update, but this did not solve the problem.

Is the user already signed in when they fill out the form? Do you end up with two user rows. Be mindful that forms always add rows unless it’s an Edit form.

No. The User is in the process of setting up an account. When they submit the form, the user is added to the User table. Everything works fine except the Welcome Message on the Home Screen is not updated with the new user’s name. I was trying to set it so that the first screen that comes up for a new user is “Create Account.” Then I would like to direct them to the “Sign-In” page, but according to Glide’s AI, I can’t do that.

So at this point they haven’t logged in? It sounds like you have nailed that part, but just want to let you know that logging in for the first time would always create a row for that email, and onboarding flows should always edit that row, instead of trying to create a new one.

Can you show us your current setup in some screenshots?
