API Workflow on a list to create a new list of things that is then sent to a custom state

Hi Fellow bubblers,

Fairly new to bubble and been trying to fix this problem for a week now. First let me explain what I am doing.

What am I trying to achieve?
I have a list of files uploaded into a multifile uploader(type: file)
I would like to create a new type of thing(type: NexFiles) that is defined with more fields that holds files so that my users can annotate and comment on files.
I would like to convert this list(files) from the multifile uploader into a list of new type of thing(NexFiles)
Finally I want to return the new list of NexFiles to a custom state on my page.

This so far accurately splits the list and creates a new thing out of the list called NexFile in the database

How do I then return these NexFiles that was created by the API workflow as a list to a custom state on my page?

I know my approach is obviously flawed. Could anyone please assist in helping me understand how this can be achieved thank you

A couple of way…

Add a “Do every x seconds” workflow
Add a “Do when condition is true” for :count of customer state <> your database :count
