How to create a mentorship program in Glide?

Step 1: Set Up Glide and Sign In

  • Head over to Glide Apps and either sign in or create an account if you’re new.
  • Once you’re in, hit "New Project" to kick off your new app.

Step 2: Choose a Template

  • Pick a template that fits your mentorship program. Maybe an "Employee Directory" or "CRM" template? You can tweak it to suit your needs.
  • Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, start with a blank template for total control over the design and features.

Step 3: Import or Create a New Spreadsheet

  • Click "Import Data" to bring in an existing Google Sheet, Excel file, or start fresh with a new one.
  • Make sure your sheet has columns for mentors and mentees, like:
  • Name
  • Email
  • Skills/Expertise
  • Available Times
  • Mentee/Mentor ID

Step 4: Customize the Tabs

  • Glide will auto-generate tabs based on your sheet. Customize these to fit your needs:
  • Rename them to "Mentors" and "Mentees".
  • Add extra tabs like "Available Sessions", "Resources", "Feedback", etc.

Step 5: Design the User Interface

  • Drag and drop components to customize each tab. For example, in the "Mentors" tab, add:
  • Image component for profile pictures.
  • Text components for name, email, and skills.
  • A button to schedule a session with a mentor.
  • Repeat similar steps for other tabs based on the data you wish to display.

Step 6: Set Visibility and Filters

  • Set visibility conditions so users only see relevant information. For example:
  • Mentees only see available mentors and not each other.
  • Mentors can see their mentees’ information and schedule.
  • Use filters to show data based on user roles (mentor/mentee).

Step 7: Add Booking and Scheduling Features

  • Use Glide's form components to create booking forms for mentorship sessions.
  • Capture details such as preferred date, time, and specific goals.
  • Use the Calendar component to display available time slots and booked sessions.

Step 8: Enable Notifications

  • Configure automatic email or in-app notifications to alert mentors and mentees of upcoming sessions or changes.
  • Use third-party integrations like Zapier if needed for more complex notification workflows.

Step 9: Add Additional Features

  • Create a resource library tab for helpful materials and documents.
  • Include a feedback form to gather insights and improve the mentorship experience.

Step 10: Publish and Share the App

  • Review and test the app to ensure all components are functioning correctly.
  • Once satisfied, click "Publish" and share the app link with your team or organization.
  • Provide users with a brief guide on how to navigate and use the app effectively.

Make sure to continuously collect feedback and iterate on the design and functionalities to improve your mentorship program.
