I’ve created a custom data type in my database called Image-custom. This type has multiple fields that are filled from inputs in the user interface.
In my backend workflow, I trigger an API workflow that creates a new Image-custom entry in the database using the provided inputs and performs some actions.
At the end of this backend workflow, I want to send the newly created Image-custom entry to a regular frontend workflow(triggered by a button) and use this exact data type in the frontend.
However, I don’t see an option to pass my Image-custom data type from the backend workflow to the frontend workflow directly.
My Questions:
- How can I send the newly created Image-custom entry from the backend workflow to the frontend workflow?
- How can I use this specific Image-custom entry in the frontend workflow?
Hi @giladlevy97 
You can do it using de AppConnector plugin from Bubble.
It will allow you to make calls to your backend and retrieve the answer as any Data Type.
If you search for it here on the forum or on youtube, you will probably find a lot of information.
Hi @rpetribu
Thanks for your suggestion! I’ve already connected my app to itself using the App Connector plugin, but I’m struggling to understand how to retrieve and use the actual custom data type (Image-custom) in a frontend workflow.
I need to take the newly created Image-custom entry from the backend workflow and use it in a regular frontend workflow triggered by a button. However, I don’t see how to pass the Image-custom object itself, only text or other basic data types.
Could you provide more details on how to properly retrieve and use this data type through the App Connector? Any guidance would be really helpful!
