Glide Data Triggers Start Workflows When App Data Changes.

Data Triggers now let Glide workflows start automatically when data changes inside an app. A stock count increasing, for example, can launch a workflow that emails customers who have that SKU on their wishlist.

Glide shared the workflow function in a LinkedIn post. The starting event is a change to app data. Once that change happens, the connected workflow can take action without waiting for someone to start it manually.

Data Triggers sit at the start of a workflow. They monitor app data for a change and use that event to begin an automated process.

The example from Glide connects inventory data with customer communication. When a stock count increments, the workflow can identify customers who placed the matching SKU on their wishlist and send them an email. The data change and resulting action both form part of the workflow.

Builders create these workflows by asking Glide’s agent. The announcement does not describe a separate manual configuration sequence or provide specific prompt syntax. It states that asking the agent is all that is needed to create the workflow.

The release adds data changes as a workflow starting point. That connects records inside a Glide app directly to the processes that should follow them.

In the inventory example, the stock count is not just information displayed in the app. Its change becomes the event that starts customer outreach. The same function applies when any app data changes, according to the announcement, although no further examples were included.

What are Glide Data Triggers?

Data Triggers are a workflow function that starts an automation when data changes inside a Glide app. The workflow can then perform an action automatically, such as sending an email after a stock count changes.

How do you create a workflow with Data Triggers?

Glide says builders can create the workflow by asking its agent. The announcement does not provide a required prompt format or additional setup steps.

Which Glide plan includes Data Triggers?

The announcement does not name the plans that include Data Triggers. It only states that the function is now available in workflows.
