How to create an internship application in Glide?

Step 1: Sign in to Glide

  • Head over to the Glide website at https://www.glideapps.com.
  • Hit the "Sign in" button up in the top right corner.
  • Log in using your Google account or any other method they offer.

Step 2: Create a New App

  • Once you're in, click on the “Create a new app” button.
  • Pick “Start from scratch” if you want a blank slate, or go with one of the templates if you find one that fits.

Step 3: Choose Data Source

  • Choose “Google Sheets” as your data source.
  • Connect your Google account and either pick an existing spreadsheet or make a new one for the internship application.

Step 4: Define Your Data Structure

  • Open up the connected Google Sheet.
  • Create columns for all the info you need, like:
  • Name
  • Email
  • Resume link
  • Cover Letter
  • Phone Number
  • Applied Position
  • Status (e.g., Pending, Reviewed, Interviewed)

Step 5: Design the Submission Form in Glide

  • In Glide, head to the "Tabs" section on the left sidebar.
  • Click the "+" button to add a new tab.
  • Choose “Form” to create a new form and link it to the right Sheet.
  • Set up the form fields to match your Google Sheet columns:
  • Add Text Entry components for Name, Email, Phone Number, etc.
  • Add File Picker components if you want applicants to upload their Resume and Cover Letter directly.
  • Make sure the “Submit” button's action is set to “Add Row” to the right Sheet.

Step 6: Customize the Form Layout

  • Use the "Components" tab to drag and drop elements and tweak the form layout.
  • Edit text labels, placeholders, and add visual elements to make the form user-friendly.
  • Add guidance or help text where needed to help applicants fill out the form.

Step 7: Configure App Settings

  • Go to the settings tab (gear icon).
  • Set up your app's branding, including the app icon, color scheme, and any other branding elements.
  • Set permissions if you need to restrict access or specify who can view certain tabs.

Step 8: Share the Application

  • Click the "Share" button in the top right corner.
  • Copy the link provided and share it with your prospective candidates.
  • Optionally, you can generate a QR code for easier access.

Step 9: Test the Application

  • Submit a test application to make sure all fields are captured correctly and data is being stored in the right columns of your Google Sheet.
  • Check that all components of the form work as expected and make adjustments if needed.

Step 10: Monitor Submissions

  • Regularly check your Google Sheet for new submissions.
  • Use Glide’s built-in features to update the status of applications directly from the app if needed.
  • Optionally, set up notifications or triggers using Google Sheets integrations (like Zapier) to alert you when a new application is submitted.

By following these steps, you can create a complete internship application system in Glide, making the process smoother for both applicants and reviewers.
