Thank you @mikeloc. It seems crazy to me that this is the only way to do this kind of functionality within bubble. Having to pay $1400/yr just to schedule even a single daily workflow seems insane.
The only way I can see to get around this is to have my application to get the data from the external API for every page load for every user. This seems like it would have a huge effect on the bubble servers in comparison to one daily workflow.
Maybe someone from @staff could give some insight?
