hi all I'm working on something else in the app i'm creating.
I'm trying to implement something called check status
where people can check the status of there requested song?
now I'm using firebase DB but its blocks I'm getting stuck on
the ones circled I'm getting stuck with
now i don't understand what i'm putting in the if statement within songready.click and have i done the submit data.click correctly?
Where in your app do you have a list of songs about to be played. A user could read that list if it were made available? You need a feature like that to let a user know what songs will be played next (or the order of upcoming songs) .
You might use some of the ideas in Programming Your App to Make Decisions and your cued list of songs to determine where in the cue that user's requested song might be at any point in time. This is not simple coding.
i could implement a now playing snipped?
i'm trying to create a notification system for when a song request is ready.
here are my 5 initialize blocks
in my submitdata.click you'll see the firebaseDB
then checkstatus.click block and firebaseDB2.click
i'm using firebase database i'v tested the app its telling me no song request can be found
no ones helping when i'm trying to setup
a checkstatus of the songrequest from google sheets
at the moment i'm using firebase and make.com

It would help you if I knew something about your problem, but I have no idea how to do that right now.
As @Joejsanz says, it is not obvious as to what you are trying to do.
The old adage says that there is no such thing as a bad question, but sometimes, to avoid those that want to help having to ask 100 other questions to get to the real issue:
-
Please write out your workflow for this notification system, explain how it is supposed to work etc.
-
Then break down your blocks so that each stage of the workflow can be seen.
-
It is also not obvious the methods you are using for your notifications. Make this clear.
Then, maybe, someone will be able to help you.
Oh, and comments like this:
will this get you more help, or less help ?

Basically, how it's supposed to work is once people have submitted a song request, they push the check data button in which they can see if the song they've requested is (pending to air, ready to air, playing)
If there song is playing they'll get a notification
But if it's pending they'll get an error stating that the song is pending if it's ready to air they'll get some sort of success message telling them it's ready to air or it's playing.
But again I would like for this to be implemented
Within my song request blocks as I'm using sheets and forms and firebaseDB

What you want to do sounds interesting. I haven't done anything like that yet, but as soon as I have time I'll take a look at it, but I can't promise anything.
Thanks so much
OK, we have worked on the first part, which is for the user to submit a song request. We have that working.
Let us continue through your workflow, one step at a time.
Now explain what happens after that. How do we get the status of a request? Is there a playlist somewhere?
trying to do it without a playlist
1.Basically they submit a song, then once that's done they check if it's pending or being aired
- Some how they type in the request they've submitted press check status then press on only that song they've submitted(in listview) and then a notification tells them if it's pending, or being aired!!!!
How do we know if it is pending, being aired, or has been played ?
You can store their request in a variable / tinydb for future use
I were thinking that lol, I were thinking couldn't a database like firebase/TinyDB sort the processing, pending, aired
We do not know if the song is pending, airing now or has been aired ?
isn't there a way i could set this up on a database
then that database tells with a clock timer when its due to be aired
Yes, but how do you know its position in the queue ?
ok look you know when you order something example a takeaway from justeat or something and it tells you you're order is being processed and that order shows up on the given restaurants computer? something like that only in the world of song requests
the user clicks there song that they have requested again the song request(sheet) then processes that song request(shows up in email c**lv****1989@gmail.com) then somehow that user gets a notification telling them there song has been successfully processed and is now in the que to air!!!
so it's like this user orders a takeaway--->that app processes there order--->Restaurant receives there order---> user gets told there order is being processed-->user gets told there order is on way.
but this is not a restaurant app now do you get where i'm trying to come from?
