New Plugin: Create a List of Things
It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no, it’s a plugin that allows you to create a list of things 
The limit will eventually be the same as the bulk data API - 1000 things. I’ve limited to 25 for now for the SSA (Server Side Action) just to get any feedback on any errors from users, then will open it up to 1000.
General Setup
Enable the Data API in your App settings for your desired data type and 
configure appropriate privacy rules.
Select (or don’t) using field names instead of ID in your app settings>API
In the Plugin settings: Enter your app API key for the API (Bearer {your app API key})or SSA (your app API key) actions , Add your app ID
Create via API connector
The normal approach to using the bulk Data API - it’s fast but harder to setup and manage responses
How to use:
Set up in your front-end and back-end workflows with the “Create a List of things (API)” action
Create via SSA Action
The most ‘native’ feeling action to create multiple things - it’s comprehensive but will have a short warm up time when using for the first time in a while.
Set up in your front-end and back-end workflows with the “Create a List of things (SSA)” action
Why the SSA is useful?:
- Returns the list of objects created (so you can use in Workflows)
- Returns the Bulk Data success responses (so you will know what went wrong)
Why no normal front-end action? A: Keeping your app API keys secure
Important notes:
- Objects will be created by App User - this means that privacy rules need to be configured (e.g. adding the user to the data type)
- Again, enabling the data API means you need to have the appropriate privacy rules configured
Here’s a link to a demo app to see it in action: https://djacklowcode-plugins-live.bubbleapps.io/version-test/bulk_create/
Have a play, and provide feedback where you think this might be useful - this is a very common use case.
This is a free plugin, so you can inspect the code and fork as you desire.
