APIs not being called sequentially

Hello Bubblers,

I have a workflow that calls 3 APIs one after the other but I noticed that theyre not called sequentially for example api-call-3 is being called before api-call-2 and api-call-3 depends on the result of api-call-2 so it’s constantly erroring out. Is there a way I can make them run sequentially or is this a bug?

If the API action 3 refer to something in step 2, it shouldn’t run before. If this is the case, report it as a bug. However, are you sure that API have completed job in step 2? Please share screenshot of your settings and API doc to the endpoint you are calling for each step

Because it’s hard to know whether workflows will run sequentially in Bubble, I highly recommend breaking down your workflows into Custom Events that are triggered. For example, run the first workflow and trigger a custom event passing data from workflow one into it, which then does the same to workflow 3, etc.
