Scheduled API ID

newy85 · August 30, 2018, 1:20pm

I have a button that allows users to create a scheduled workflow that processes a payment. But I cannot find a way to allow the user to cancel the scheduled workflow without my intervention. The only way I can see to Cancel a workflow is by the API ID which can only be found in the logs. But there is no way I have foind that I can put the API ID in the cancel workflow action. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply. I can see how that works for a scheduled API, but I cant do that for a recurring API. The payments are set to come out on the payment anniversary each month, until the stop it. I don’t want to have to cancel it myself.

To cancel a recurring even, you want to trigger the same action that you used to set it (set/cancel recurring event) and set the frequency to “none.” That’s the only method!

So, you just need a trigger for the canceling action. For example, when a user cancels their subscription or downgrades.

Hi, I am trying to cancel an API workflow that I scheduled a month ago but bubble is asking me for the Scheduled API ID. Where can I find this ID?

Hi there @pachocastillosr,

Where you originally scheduled it from. You can have an action after scheduling it to save the ID then refer to Result of step…

Is this the correct way to save the ID? I checked the database and these fields came up empty…

Hi @cohereandnow,

Yep! That should be right. Strange… it shows up for me
