New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread

Thanks for pushing this Bubble team!

My initial thoughts:

  • I like giving more real estate to an individual workflow
  • The vertical layout is more intuitive. Right now there isn’t an obvious improvement over the horizontal approach but when if/else and loops are introduced this will be a lot better
  • The organisation of workflows feels cramped and hard to navigate right now.
  • I don’t think we need to see number of actions in a workflow in the workflows list. It just adds visual clutter and makes this list harder to read
  • Equally the number of notes isn’t useful. I’d rather just see a little indicator if notes are present. And even better if notes could appear hover-style within the actions pane in google-doc style
  • I could’t find how to organize by trigger type (page load, element click etc) but think this is definitely the right approach. Though I think this workflow tab then becomes a collation of all the workflows attached to any element on the page/reusable (including the page/reusable itself). But I’d like to see the ability to enter a workflow view for a specific element from the design tab in a way where I only see the workflows for that particular element.
  • I love this addition for custom events

  • I’m having issues with copy/pasting workflows. I can’t seem to right-click > paste as before. So I use the context menu in the header but it’s pasting an element from clipboard not the workflow I just copied (have used context menu for copy action as well)
