I have been practicing adding data to my website’s database from a mobile app using API workflows. Everything was working fine until today when I tried sending data to one of my datatypes, and every entry is coming up blank.
.
I am definitely not sending empty strings, and have not changed anything in my code. I have tried this with another data type with the same results.
The workflow is simple and was working before, as I said.
I would like to know why empty data is being added instead of text.
I don’t have answers, but I enjoy troubleshooting. My guesses:
- Maybe there is something to do with the privacy settings of that database? I see that the API can be run without authentication, but can that workflow write to the database? (privacy rules get me every darn time)
- Turn on the debugger, go setp-by-step and see if you can see what info is being sent to the API.
- Check the browser’s developer tools and take a look at the API call?
- Try making the API call via Postman? Made add a “return data from API” with the results of Step 1?
