API Data Fields

Need help APIs
1

I am new to Bubble and can’t seem to figure out an issue I have - know it has to be something simple that I am just not seeing.

  1. I have an api (GET) which returns a list consisting of 2 fields (Event_Name and Event_ID).
  2. This ‘list’ is provided to the user via a dropdown box (Event_DropDown) - specifically, the Event_Names are displayed and the user simply selects an event from the drop-down box.
  3. There is a button named ‘Check-In’ which calls another api (POST). The data needed or this API is the Event_ID (not the Event_Name). I have a workflow which calls this API however can only select the value of Event_DrownDown (i…e the Event_Name) not the Event_ID.

How can I access the ‘Event_ID’ from the selected event in the Event_DownDown box?

Thanks, Dennis

Make the parent group of button same content type as button. Then reference the drop-down in Group.

Thus, once you select the value in drop-down. And click the button in button work you can reference the parent group thing which is the data, from there choose event id.

Hope, this help els ping me i be available in 30m can walk you through it.

Happy to help :slightly_smiling_face:

Note: make the drop-down same parent type of event name and Id … Can be some event data list or something in bubble. And in caption use current thing event name
