Frontend Loop with Custom Event?

moon · 2025-03-14T10:36:16.310Z

Hey, Iam looking for an alternative native solution for making loops in the frontend without an plugin so I figured to use an custom even to trigger itself recursive but I don’t have the option to select my event? Is this just impossible/not allowed or why doesn’t it work?

Bubble tries its very best to make front-end looping impossible.

You can’t do it with ‘Trigger a Custom Event’

You have to use "Schedule a custom Event’

And a Custom Event can’t schedule itself, only another Custom Event - so you have to use 2 Custom Events (actually you can use 1, but you have to create the schedule action first in another WF and the copy/paste it into the WF you want - but this is not an officially supported method, although it’s worked for years).
