Email Validation Problem on Sign Up

[brian4]

Hello Bubblers!
I am trying to build a validation workflow into my sign up process.

ie. if an email has already registered, then the sign up procedure does something different.

I am trying to use…

However, in testing the search always comes up as “0” and triggers the actual sign up flow even when there is a record in the database.

I got this method from the Forums.

Anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Brian

…that’s probably it…

…now to figure out a proper privacy rule that covers this!

Thanks!

I have the same problem:( it keeps triggering the workflow even if the email is already there.

I know that it has something to do with bubble not recognising that email is already exists.
Here’s my workflow

[update] Found the solution:

Search for Users not working

Months later but… just wanted to say that your reply just saved me after hours of investigating. What was happening for anyone else who stumbles on this later: I was trying to do increment a number field on the user object for each new user who signed up (like to show on a user profile page, so users can see what number they were when they signed up) I was doing it in the default signup workflow but it wasn’t working. Specifically I was using Search for Users:count + 1 Good: Search for Users…
