How to set up automated reminders in Glide?

Step 1: Open your Glide app and access the project

  • First things first, log into your Glide account.
  • Pick the project where you want to set up those nifty automated reminders.

Step 2: Add a new table for reminders

  • Head over to the "Data" tab.
  • Click on "New Table" and name it "Reminders".
  • Add columns for the details you want in your reminders, like:
  • User (who's getting the reminder)
  • Message (what the reminder says)
  • Date and Time (when it should be sent)

Step 3: Integrate Glide with Zapier

  • Log into your Zapier account.
  • Connect Glide to Zapier by picking it from the list of apps.
  • Create a new Zap; this will have triggers and actions.

Step 4: Create a "New Reminder" form

  • Go back to your Glide project.
  • Add a "Form Button" in the app where users can input a new reminder.
  • Link this form to the "Reminders" table you made earlier.
  • Make sure the form captures all the info like User, Message, Date, and Time.

Step 5: Set up the Zapier trigger

  • In your Zapier account, set Glide as the trigger app.
  • Choose the trigger event as "New Row" in the "Reminders" table.
  • Authenticate your Glide account if it asks.
  • Test the trigger to make sure it’s set up right.

Step 6: Add the action for sending the reminder

  • In Zapier, add an action step after the trigger.
  • Pick an action app (like Gmail, Slack, SMS) for sending the reminder.
  • Set up the action to pull data from the "Reminders" table (e.g., recipient from the User column, message from the Message column, and sending time from the Date and Time column).
  • Test the action to make sure it works.

Step 7: Schedule the reminder sending

  • Use the "Schedule" feature in Zapier.
  • Set the schedule to match the Date and Time column of the "Reminders" table.
  • Make sure the Zap runs at the right time to send out the reminder.

Step 8: Activate the Zap

  • Turn on your new Zap.
  • Keep an eye on the Zap’s activity to make sure reminders are being sent out as expected.
  • Make any tweaks to the trigger conditions or actions based on how it performs.

These steps will help you set up automated reminders in Glide using Zapier, ensuring timely notifications are sent to users.
