Nightly Batch Program

Need help Database
1

Hi,
I want to run a nightly batch program that will 1) truncate data in a database, and then 2) repopulate with data from an API.

Does Bubble support any kind of batch programs? If so what languages? Are there any schedulers?

Thanks,
Alex

Yes, Bubble has API Workflows for this.

You can kick off a “batch run” from Easycron or Zapier, or manage recurring workflows from within Bubble.

Hhhmmm… I looked at Zapier and in their list of applications that they support Bubble isn’t even listed in their application lists.

So exactly how would you truncate a DB table in Bubble?

I’m skeptical here…

You use Zapier’s webhook action to call a bubble Workflow API.

Then the workflow can do the relevant actions on your data.
