Using Make for Scheduled Email Reminders When Email Is a Row Owner

Hi Everyone,

I’m building a reminder app in Glide and using Make.com to send scheduled email reminders.

For security and privacy, the Email column in my reminders table is set as a Row Owner, so each user can only access their own reminder records.

The challenge is that I also need Make to read the reminder records, check the scheduled date/time, and send the email when the reminder is due.

Has anyone successfully built something similar while keeping Row Owners enabled?

I’m especially interested in knowing:

  • Can Make securely access rows protected by Row Owners?
  • Is there a recommended architecture for allowing Make to process reminders without removing Row Owner protection?
  • Is there another secure approach that avoids exposing users’ reminder information?

My goal is to keep each user’s data private while still allowing the automation to process scheduled email reminders.

If anyone has implemented this with Glide + Make + Row Owners, I’d really appreciate hearing how you structured it.

Thank you!
