Given: Marketplace where Customers can buy items from multiple shops
Task: when customers checkouts create order for each shop order with items from checkout basket
this is workflow how i imagine it
what variables should be emphasized?
Hi,
You have to trigger an “API Workflow on a list”, where the list is your basket’s items.
Every single action of the API workflow will be to create a single order.
You can use this to transfer money to the seller, or creating a PDF invoice, sending a confirmation mail…
well this API workflow thing is the only i didnt get 101 with
if i got you correct i need to create custom event that creates order
then trigger api workflow on a list which will run custom event create order for each item in checkout Repeating group if such exists right?
Yes, that’s precisely it !
That function is very powerful, but (you’ll see), its implementation is not that intuitive. But if you got the principle as you enounce it now, things should go straight on.

Do I have to be on the paid plan in order to trigger API workflow on a list?
Not sure but I don’t think so. If you try adding an action in some workflow, select “Custom event”. Do you see the option “Schedule API workflow on a list” ?

So, it looks like the option you mention (“Schedule API workflow on a list”) is there but… not working for the free-plan. This is what my settings tab says:

I just tried in test mode and… no dice.
You need to upgrade to at least Personal to get access to the scheduled workflows
