I’m trying to take a list of things (names, dates, etc…) and create things for each item. The list is coming from a plugin. So, I created fields in my database to store the information. I read that you have to run an API on a list to create a thing from the list, so I did that. But instead of creating a new ‘Name’ for each name item, it entered the full list of names as one item. Also, I don’t know how many items will be in the list as it will be different for each user.
Is there a way for me to get it to create a thing for each item individually?
So, it is creating 7 things (there are 7 boards) but…
each thing is showing the entire list (all 7 boards) rather than showing just 1 boardname, 1 date, 1 ID…
wow did someone make it private? All I did was add a page to the public forum app, and it was working just fine earlier but now conveniently its gone private? The link now leads straight to the bubble home page. I did not do that.
To be honest, this test page doesn’t really display the problem. I think this problem is really easy to solve. Probably just a tweak to your workflow will do the trick. Do you mind sharing your app’s editor link? (You can PM me if you don’t want to share it to this post)
well this is the only issue that I have, in my app, and I duplicated it exactly here. I added a ‘create a thing’ action on the API workflow page to go along with the workflow steps on the ‘pinterest_info2’ page.
I can PM you the test pinterest account info, if that will help to test it yourself.
OK this is what I was seeing when I ran it with those checkboxes checked… So I figured I have something wrong. Because when I uncheck it, it runs, just it gives me the wrong output.
Ok. Do you know how to Trigger your API workflow? If so, switch the parameter definition from “Manual definition” to “Detect request data”. Then click “Request Data”. Once you see the popup, trigger the workflow and you’ll be able to see the specific field types of the data you’re using.
OK I changed it to Detect request data and then selected Request Data and a popup came up, It simply had the workflow address and prompted me to click the text field to copy it. So I did, and I let it sit there since it seemed like it was still thinking. After a little bit, I hit ‘cancel’.
Is that correct?
Not sure where I’m to trigger the workflow though.
oh do I add the url to the wf_request_data field in the ‘Schedule API workflow’ action?
Skip that then. I think I’m beginning to understand your process a little better. I’m going to switch it back to Manual Definition and check out the workflows.
