Hi,
I am building a feature on my app whereby I display quotes randomly daily. Ideally a new random quote a day, without the same quote displaying twice.
Does anyone know how i can achieve this?
Also, im on a free bubble plan, i tried doing backend workflows and since im not on a paid plan, i’m not sure how to test it and to even see when it triggers daily or not?
Thanks
Hi @aaronkudhail9 
This is simple to do and you will need only one datatype called “Quotes”. In this datatype you will need two fields:
- Quote (Type Text)
- Used in (Type Date)
When a Quote is used, you fill the “Used in” with this particular date. Doing this, you can know the quotes that already been used.
To select a random non used quote you just need to Do a Search for Quotes Where Used in is empty: Random Item
So what happens when all used quotes have a used in date inside it? Also, for a free plan do the backend workflows work and how do you find out the frequency of when they trigger
No quotes will be displayed. If the criteria is never repeat a used quote, you need to make sure that you will always have a new one in your database. 
No. you need at leas Starter plan.
First you create the Recurring event in backend, with all the actions you want.
Then, you will choose the frequency only when you call this event using the action “Set/cancel a recurring event”.
