Bubble.io API Tutorial: Schedule a Workflow on a List
In this advanced Bubble.io tutorial, you'll learn how to schedule a workflow on a list. This is an API-specific tutorial for working with your no code Bubble app.
This tutorial is a bit more advanced, but we often find that for some people, it provides the perfect solution to an ongoing problem: Looping a workflow on an unknown number of items.
While this lesson can be applied to tons of different situations, let's use Amazon as an example:
When you purchase 5 items on Amazon, you have the option to stay updated on shipping.
If each of those 5 items is shipped separately, Amazon will need to trigger 5 individual tracking codes so that you get updates for each item.
However, Amazon doesn't require you to click a button for each item to be able to receive notifications.
Instead, you click 1 checkout button, and you automatically receive reminders and notifications for 5 different products.
What's happening in the background is the equivalent of Scheduling an API Workflow on a List in Bubble. You click the "purchase" button, and an action is triggered to generate tracking codes and notifications for each individual item.
This can be used in tons of cases, and you'll see another example in the video above.
*Video Clarification: You CAN perform individual price changes to a list of items within regular workflows (e.g. Price = This Item's price + X), but other actions that refer to an item in a list (like sending separate emails) must be done in API workflows. Putting the entire sequence in an API workflow streamlines the process.*
