Hello Gliders,
Hope you’re doing fine!
I’m working on an app that has a internal forum for members and also a job board. There are almos 2k members nowadays. They asked me to implement a weekly notification to all users reporting the recently added job oportunities and also the latest forum posts of the week.
I’m strugling with this since I couldn’t find a way to implement the weekly report.
Did you already worked on something similar ? Any idea on how I can do this ?
Thanks in advance!
I assume you want this automated vs manual push? If so, you’ll need to have your data live in a source other than Glide Tables (unless you’re an enterprise customer). If your data lives in Google Sheets or AirTable, you can set up an automation/script that looks for new content, compiles a list of data, sends it via email.
Yes, it should be automatic. I’m using Google Sheets and think in use Zapier but the question is: how to set this to “acumulate” the notifications and just send once a week ? That’s the main question now. I’m still looking but no solution until now.
Hola!
A quick answer would be:
- Define the day of week you want to send your notifications.
- Check if TODAY is that day of week that you chose.
- If so, define an hour of day to send emails
- Check the TIME of TODAY.
- If TIME is the hour you marked, fire the procedure to send emails.
If you are going to use a Google Script, your Trigger can be defined by a schedule and makes your life easier.

In Integromat/Make, you can set a schedule for your scenario, let’s say only run every Monday at 7AM:
-
Check the Jobs sheet for any content that you can automatically mark as new (say added in the last 7 days).
-
Do some text transformation, then add those job names to the email body.
-
Send the email to the list of users you want to send (this can come from a Sheet search as well).
Great man!!
I was about to start this investigation on Zapier or Make. Great to hear that we already have it available at Make. Thanks !
