What Actions do you wish Glide had?

Other use cases:

Sneak Peak: Boss Battles!

@Antonio @Adrianne_Ngam Can’t wait to see triggered actions in…well…action! This feature is crucial to having a “Boss battle” in the app. The way I see it working: “Who’s Turn” column is empty “Battle” Button (visible when “Who’s Turn” is empty) 1.) Click “Battle” button to initiate a battle marks “Who’s Turn” true “Attack” button replaces “Battle” button (visible when “Who’s Turn” is true) 2.) Click “Attack” button deals damage to Boss (increment “Damage Dealt” column by User Attack …

Dear god. Yes please.

To add a if then else condition after a for example set column action.
So I coud check if a related column is not empty then success else failed notification.

[Jacktools_Net]

Make a REST API request.

Wait action. By far.

Add shipping/P&P costs to the checkout, and Discount coupon field on checkout

something like this:

• allow developer the option to choose whether its required for the checkout to proceed to purchase
• allow developer upto X amount of shipping options, with prices and courier service name
• Coupon codes for discounts at checkout, self explanatory. Option for either % or Numeral discount.

I believe this would be fairly easy to implement, wouldn’t take long and would make a HUGE impact on conversions and also will allow for physical products to be sold on apps. Please consider this

Wait action. By far.

Can you explain how you’d use it?

Action: Shift row up/down in Glide Table.

Use: changing the ‘sheet order’ of items in an inline list Changing order in a related list of rows - #7 by Jaime

Would be cool to have ‘shift row to top of table’ or ‘shift row to bottom of table’

[noobly_channel]

The ideas for just right now (I’m sure more would pop up later):

Animations and image changes
Multi-user interaction (one user presses a button, wait for other user to press a button)
Chain events: Press button, cell a changes, then cell b changes based upon the change to cell a, then cell c changes based upon the change to cell b, etc…
Countdown or Count up timer - increments by 1 or -1 every second. (especially useful in stores, to offer a discount if the user buys before time expires.)

That’s just a few.

I don’t know if “Actions” could help to solve my 3 dreams:

• multiselect in choice component
• multiselect in choice component
• multiselect in choice component

And by the way, I forgot this one:

• multiselect in choice component!

[Jeff_Hager]

It’s not a choice component, but it’s as close as I’ve gotten to multiselect.

Reset Multiple Rows At Once

There have been several requests for people to find a way to clear a value in multiple rows. I was thinking about that and came up with a quick example of a way to handle that. Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row. It’s not about clearing an entire column, it’s about making a value in each row n…

Thank you @Jeff_Hager.
I will give a try to all this …

[Darren_Murphy]

It’s possible to use an Inline List as a makeshift multi-select.
In fact, that’s exactly what @SantiagoPerez and I did here

The Magic Inline List that thinks it's a Choice Component

I just had to share this, because I’m so damned excited that we (@SantiagoPerez and myself) actually made it work. So what’s going on there?? It’s an Inline List using a Tiles Layout, but each row of tiles is behaving like an individual choice component The tiles are arranged in “pairs” where the words in the left column of tiles have opposite meanings to the words in the right column As each tile is tapped, the word in the tile is add…

Ability for an action in one app to make a change on another app you own.

Example: Your customer books a trip on the customer facing app and then their trip details are added to an employee facing app.

Also would like the ability to create actions with the Buy Button/Pay button.

[Darren_Murphy]

@Vincent_Henry

Example: Your customer books a trip on the customer facing app and then their trip details are added to an employee facing app.

This is already possible if both apps are sharing the same GSheets and/or Glide Tables.

[Harry_OBrien]

Please please this

A 'Popout Details' action

Request to add a Popout Details Layout similar to how forms display. Here’s a screenshot of how it could look using the ‘Show form’ action, forms don’t work as a workaround because when you interact on the Form Popout it creates an additional row and all edits are made to that new row. [Glide 2021-04-12 at 1.55.38 pm] Currently to view the details of a row you are forced to use the ‘View Details’ action, a ‘Popout Details’ option would be a welcomed addition.

[Vincent_Henry]

Would love to have the capability to link an If Then Else column to Buy Button Price to allow customer’s choices to update price in real time.

Multiselect on choice Component is a great feature please vote

[Harry_OBrien]

And also this

Add to Array / Remove from Array

Learning Trebuchet method by Roberto and Lucas make myself little bit confused. Because this complicated technique is actually doing very simple thing: Remove Item from List (array) or Add Item to List (array). That definetly should be just a new action: Add/Remove Item. We need it, otherwise it will stay as a possibility only for real experts in Glide. For comparison, in Adalo you can easily work with arrays by add or remove items.
