I’m using Bubble v33 and have set up an API Connector call (POST) with dynamic body parameters using the <parameter_name> syntax in the JSON body. The parameters show up correctly in the API Connector configuration page with blank Value fields and Allow blank checked.
However when I add this API Connector call as a step in a frontend workflow, the properties panel on the right only shows:
Execution options
Only when / Condition
There are no parameter fields visible where I can set dynamic values from my app’s data.
I’ve tried:
Switching between the new BETA editor and old editor
Double clicking the step
Clicking the three dots menu
Adding it to a Backend Workflow (action doesn’t appear there at all)
My goal is to pass dynamic values like Input Campaign Name's value into the API call parameters at runtime.
Questions:
How do I set dynamic parameter values for an API Connector POST action in a workflow step in the current version?
Is this functionality available on the free plan or does it require a paid plan?
This is almost always an initialisation issue. Go back to the API Connector and hit Initialize call with some test values filled in Bubble won’t show the parameter fields in your workflow step until the call has been successfully initialised at least once.
Also double check your <parameter_name> syntax in the body, even a tiny formatting issue there causes the fields to just not show up.
If you’ve already done all that and they’re still missing, delete the action from the workflow and re-add it after reinitialising. Sometimes Bubble just needs a reset to pick it up properly.
And yes, this works on the free plan, that’s not the issue here.
Look at the api connector sections and you’ll see the helper text for dynamic values for each section. Body parameters I believe need to be wrapped in <>
Jici. Thanks for the assist. This was in fact the issue in regards to the private checkbox left checked. I managed to figure it out before returning to the forum. I appreciate the help from you and everyone else who responded.
