Hi I currently have a Pro app with whitelisted access. I use google sheets formulas and appscript to automatically send welcome instructions to new users, so that I don’t have do this manually. I also use the same approach to add access to the different paid modules in the app. With the changes to public versus private apps If I were to use a public with email app the new users get added directly into a Glide Table, but are not visbile in the google sheet. This creates a challenge for the way I welcome new users or users purchasing different content as I need them in the google sheet currently. I was wondering with the New Actions capability would it be possible to use actions to trigger send email etc on a new user being added to the app from the glide table? as I can’t see how to do this as it appears all actions come from activity within the app itself? Any thoughts greatly appreciaetd Rob ---

You have a whitelisted app, so I assume you would have the send email action inside your app, is that correct? ---

ThinhDinh, The eamil is sent via a trigger in the googlesheet using appscript as it is a welcome email not sent from the app itself Rob ---

Yeah but I mean can you check your app and see if one of your available actions is “Send Email”? ---

ThinhDinh, I am able to add an action to !Compose email" in the app. How does that help me ? As I need to be able to trigger the action on a new row in a glidetable ? sorry If I am asking a dumb question Rob ---

I believe you’re adding a row to the Glide Table via a form, is it correct? What you can do is switch to user-specific columns for inputs of the form, then in the compound action, you have add row as one action, and send email as another one. With a template column you can send the email the way you want. ---

ThinhDinh no unfortunately I am not using a form. the new user row is created by Glide on a new user signing in Public with Email and I wanted to be able to trigger an action based upon that glidetable being updated but can’t see how to at the moment unless I am missing something ? ---

Do you have an onboarding process for new users? ---

Can you shift your user profiles from the Glide table to a Google Sheet? If you do that, new users will be added to the sheet and not the Glide table and then you could continue doing what you did before. ---

Are the user profiles set up on a tab which is inside Glide table? If that is so, shift the user profile sheet onto your Google Sheet and it will then add new users directly to Google Sheets ---

Seems like you’re pointing your user profiles sheet to a Glide Sheet. Is there any specific reason you made a Glide Sheet? ---

> [@Robert\_Turner](#): > > unfortunately if using public with email the new user is added in Glidetable and not in Google sheet unless I am missing something There are two steps involved here, and I suspect that you may be missing one of them. The first step is to define the privacy option, ie. Public with Email. The second step is to enable [User Profiles.](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/security-and-per-user-data/user-profiles) In the process of enabling User Profiles, you get to choose where the user profile data should be saved. This can be a Glide Table (ie. a table that only exists within Glide), or it can be a sheet in your Google Spreadsheet. Either option works, and which you choose depends on the situation - in your situation it seems that you would want to choose the latter. Have you done this? ---
