"Need Help with Workflow Tab: 'Add Action' Window Not Opening – Hook Analyzer Project 🛠️"

Need help

HI

I hope you can assist me with an issue I’m facing in Bubble. I’m working on a project that involves an API call to fetch data from an external service. I’ve set up the API call in the API Connector, and it works correctly when I test it (see response below). However, I’m unable to use it in my workflow due to a problem.

What I want to achieve:
I want to set up a workflow for a button. When the button is clicked, an API call should be triggered, and the text from an input field should be dynamically inserted into the API body. Then, the response from the API should be displayed in a text element.

The Problem:
In the Workflow tab, I can click on “Click here to add an action,” and the window opens. However, when I select “Plugins,” the API Connector is not visible in the list. Instead, I see a message saying “Install more plugin actions,” even though I have already installed the API Connector plugin and upgraded to a paid plan (14-day trial). I expected to see “API Connector” and my API call in the list, but they are not there. I’ve tried the following to fix the issue:

  • Reloaded the browser (Cmd + R).
  • Tried Incognito mode (in Safari and Chrome).
  • Closed and reopened Bubble completely.
  • Checked the Plugins tab – the API Connector is installed, and the API call works when tested.

Additional Information:

  • I have a paid plan (14-day trial), which I activated recently.
  • The API Connector plugin is installed and shows under “Installed Plugins.”
  • The API call is set up correctly (POST, URL: [REDACTED], authentication with API key, no parameters).
  • When testing the API call, I get a correct response, e.g.:

text

Kopieren

{ "choices": [ { "message": { "content": "[REDACTED]" } } ] }

My Request:
Can you please help me fix this issue so that the API Connector and my API call are visible under “Plugins” in the Workflow tab? I’ve been working on this project for a week and can’t make progress, so I’d be very grateful for your support.

Thank you in advance!

If the API call is set up as a Data call then you won’t see it as a workflow action - you’ll need to use it as a datasource instead.

If it’s set up as an Action then you’ll see it as the name of the API, and the Call name.

Hi Adam!.

Great thank you :slight_smile: works. But now a have another issue. :slight_smile:
I’m working on a Bubble app and need help displaying an API response in a text element after a button click. I’m using the API Connector („OpenAI - GenerateHooks“), and the response („OpenAI - GenerateHooks’s choices’s each item’s message content“) is available in the workflow. However, I can’t display it in a text element because:

  • „Change input value“ is not available in „Element Actions.“
  • Custom states are not showing up in the „Appearance“ tab for the text element.
    Can suggest a simple way to dynamically display the API response in a text element? Maybe using a database or another workflow action? Thanks for your help!
