How to Create a Matching System on Bubble

Hello,

Do you know if it’s possible to create a matching system on Bubble?

A user chooses a theme and gets matched with someone who chose the same theme. I’ve tried everything and I can’t get it to work…

Thank you!

Need to have the theme saved as a field onto the user data type, then do a search for users whose theme equals current users theme

That’s exactly what I did, but I’ve been stuck on the workflows for a week now… I tested it with two different accounts and either: I end up matching with myself, or the accounts stay in a “waiting” state, or when only one account clicks on “match”, it behaves as if both users clicked… In short, it’s really complicated for me as a beginner. Thank you for your response.

That’s probably a privacy related problem. By default you are not supposed to see other users data. In your database screen you select the user table, click in “privacy” and then you’ll be able to create a new rule.

Oh, you think that’s the reason the match isn’t working and I’m matching with myself? I’ll try that! Thank you so much.

I did that and it’s still the same… I think I’m the one who can’t set up the workflows correctly… it looks simple like this but I just can’t get it to work… thanks anyway.

It would help if you share prints of your database settings and workflows.
