Is it possible to trigger a server side action in my plugin from a client side action in my plugin?

I need to create a digest on the backend and use it on the front end.

The flow is:

User calls the client action  
The client action calls a server side action to get a digest  
The client side uses the digest to trigger some client side code.

You could do fetch/axios to call a backend workflow and have it return data 😊

Is it important that the digest not be exposed via the editor to the Bubble developer - i.e. the user of your plugin?

How do you do that? Any examples / documentation?

Yes, it creates a key to call another backend …
