How to structure and simplify complex workflows in Bubble

Tips

Hi

As someone with a software engineering background, I know that diving straight into code without planning leads to trouble. We break things down step by step, using top-down design or step-wise refinement.

In Bubble, we need the same discipline.

When you dive straight into API calls or complex workflows without planning, you can run into several issues:

  • It becomes hard to track what’s happening at each step.
  • Debugging can get messy, making it tough to pinpoint where things went wrong.
  • If you need to scale or add new features later, the whole system can get tangled, requiring more time and effort to update.

By structuring your workflows properly, you’ll make them easier to manage, scale, and update in the future.

I have just added a video going over this concept here.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing these insights!

As someone with a background in software engineering, I can really appreciate the importance of planning and structuring workflows properly. Diving straight into complex tasks can quickly turn into a debugging headache, so features like the new Workflow tab and improved organization are definitely welcome. I especially like how the updates aim to make workflows easier to manage and scale over time
