Thank you very much, It helps me a lot and save my time, I have faced a problem when I assign const a bubble element's value, I kept getting "Syntax Error: Unexpected token ':' can you help?
Thanks for the video. Your explanation was very helpful. I have one question though. In the video, you mentioned that if we don't use Bubble's API connector authentication integration, we would need to worry about things like where to store the access and refresh token. Can you explain how you handled the storage of the access and refresh tokens when you set everything up manually, which was effectively what you did for this video. I am not quite sure where that happened. Thanks!!
Very helpful video. Many thanks! I think there is a problem. When you change the behavior of dropping on the First item, you eliminate the ability to drop something into the 2nd Position. You really need to be able to drop something in the 0th position (which does not exist) in order to place it before the first. The initial behavior was that you always placed the item after the place it was dropped. After you made the change to dropping on the first item, now it places before that, leaving a hole in the logic so that you can't drop anything between position 1 and 2.
I may be wrong, but it seems that to get the correct behavior, you need a drop area for the top half of a cell to drop something before it, and a drop area for the 2nd half of the cell to drop after it.
Hi Guys! Trying to get dynamic input working for the API connector - it works for JSON or Raw, but I can’t seem to get it working for the Form-Data Body type.
Minute 28:57 - is there a way to make the parameters dynamic on bubble or do you have to use the Body field? P.S. this whole series is AMAZING!! Thank you for making it!
Hi Jacob, great tutorial, thanks! I'm having some issues regarding the data retrieval. I am guessing that because I bulk create and those things aren't coming with "created by" (current user) the fetching of the data is unoptimzed causing delays on data manipulation in my app. How to fix this?
Hi Jacob, I'm trying to read data from Zabbix through the Bubble API CONNECTOR, I can do it using JSON code but I would like to use Bubble parameters, can you help me with this?
This series was so useful. Very specific and detailed. Other videos on RU-vid used Postman or Xano, and I don't want to download a friking coding platform to simply connect an API to bubble.
Hey Jacob - At 35:11 you mention that signup/login with social network, behind the scenes, bubble is creating a username/password using the unique token, and allowing users to login with that. How would you do this manually? I have to reverse engineer this for shopify auth
From personal experience, using Bubble has been a bad experience as a developer. Building a feature rich app can technically be done using their GUI, but most complicated app interactions will require some level of API knowledge in order to actually integrate it with practical tools such as Intercom or Slack.
Thank you for this informative and useful video. Although perhaps obvious to some, please consider the potential for ambiguity in the terminology you use. A “post” in your application seems to be a blog post servicing the business model of your application. Although I could be wrong. Please be aware the semantic risk you are taking in this example is that you are using a term that is an http keyword. Consequently the term “creating a post” can mean several things. I believe your use means “create a record in the Post table of the database “, but I - among others perhaps - cannot be sure. Even though it might seem laborious, repetitive, bothersome and inconvenient , saying “record in the Post table of the database” every time it is referred eliminates ambiguity. Still I come away from your videos that your ultimate goal is to clearly communicate your ideas and be helpful to the community. The less you make listeners work, the more subscribers you will have IMHO. #pleasedisambiguate
Hi, what to do if the data you are trying to save, in my case downloadable links with documents from an external website , saves as one long string instead of the links being saved separately?
This format as text is interesting.. My app has an order form. The user can select more than 1 product variant and a quantity on a form and submit an order. So for example 1 shirt size S and 1 pants size Large. I save these both in different states. selected_product: shirt, pants and selected_size: S, Large. The order API needs to take in “line items” like this: { "order": { "line_items": [ { "variant_id": 41385256878173, "quantity": 1 }, { "variant_id": 41385256943709, "quantity": 1 } ], How do I split the list of things in the state to go into the API array? How does it know that shirt is small and pants are large and not a large shirt? How does the API dynamically adapt to the number of items ordered - 2,3,4… and know to add more brackets and keys?
Hi. U said in ur video u don't know the reason why bubble allows you to switch from data to action. I don't know exactly why....but I can tell you how I use those two functions. I use data setup when I use an API GET function so I can display on my side the data I am getting from the API and I use the ACTION setup when I need to use API POST function to send data to the API...so I trigger it in the workflow. I hope this helps someone. Great video tutorial!
Massively helpful video. I used these steps to help me through the Reddit connection. For anyone else dealing with Reddit, the "Code" that comes back has an extra "#_" that you have to remove with find and replace action.
The video really helped me understand Oauth 2.0 on bubble. Thank you so much. Is it possible for you to make a video about Instagram basic API too? That would really really save me.
One of the hardest things for me is adjusting my mindset to keep it simple. I have read so many books on usability and am actually in the middle of a UX bachelor's degree. Some things there aren't necessarily well explained. I am trying my damnedest to improve, and it will be a heck of a learning process.
what to do when you need to show 4 columns from two different tables (planned expenses, actual expenses, planned income, actual income) and so on for each mission?
Hey Jacob! Thanks for this, it really helped me. Quick question if you see this: is there an easy way to limit the value expression to a certain range? For example, instead of showing from 0-100, I would like to focus on the range from 30-60 because all of my entries will be within that range. Let me know, thanks!
This doesn't help me at all to plot a thing that isn't aggregated. I just want to plot data from a spreadsheet file I've uploaded. Why is Bubble so opaque and hard to use?! So user unfriendly! Soul crushing!
Hello, I made an API call then save the results in custom states and display on text fields, so far so good. The json data comes as list too so i created custom states as list to save all the data from the api call. Problem is that when i try to use a chart it doesnt work. I cant choose as datatype or source those custom states and if i use the api call as datatype it doesnt allow me to choose the data from the api call. Ho can i chart with api data? I got a free account , please tell me i dont need to go to backend workflows or save data on bubble database in order to do charts.
DUDE thank you so much for making this I have been smacking my head against the desk for days trying to get the javascript element to work for me thank you!
Hello and thank's for the video it's very helpfull, it could be interesting if you do one maybe where you take a value type then the result could be another type ( in my case i would like to use date to calculate range time and save it as a number in the database) Cheers ! i know you video is a bit old but still very helpfull
So you said you can sample the plug-in and then get a prorated amount ? So say you bought the plug in the one time fee and you tried it for 10 minutes and it didn't work how does that work
Hi Jacob, thanks so much for this video! Can I ask you a question？ Is there a way we can hide the authorization code on the user's end? In your experience, if not hiding it, will that cause any concern?
