Hi there, @aravinddeverasetty20… yes, it’s possible by using the Bubble App Connector plugin.

Oh, my apologies… I misunderstood. There is a lot of content out there on how to do what you are trying to do, so I would suggest doing a Google search with bubble.io in the search.

Hi @aravinddeverasetty20
This post can help you…

Save data to another application's database Database

It depends of what you are trying to do. Let’s say that, in App B, your user will send a “product” to your App A. And in App A, you will pick this product and save it in your database. Very simple example. So, in App A you will need to create an API Workflow to receive and save the incoming product in your database, correct? Go to your backend workflows and create something like this: [image] You can see that this API workflow needs a variable. A product. Text type. Now, when you receive t…

this is bubble to bubble i am looking for bubble to other applications

It all depends on the other application. For two applications to exchange information, they need to talk to each other (i.e. speak the same language).

The translator between the two applications is usually an API. So you need one application to be able to “talk” to another application while the other is “listening”.

Bubble is able to “talk” to another application using the Bubble API connector. It can also “listen” but the approach is a bit different.

So the question is… does your other application have an API setup to be able listen to what Bubble can send to it through the API connector ? Often, the universal language that an API uses is JSON.

If your other application does not have an API then it gets complicated. You could then try to develop your own API (using MS power Automate or others) depending on your skills and how much access you have to the other data.

This is how I have managed to have Bubble talk to other applications or databases with relatively good success although there is a steep learning curve.

aravinddeverasetty20 · 2022-09-01T05:21:10.046Z

yes the other application also has the api but we don’t know how to connect the api

michel.allard · 2022-09-01T15:14:46.202Z

Although Bubble is for “non-programmers”, you still need a bit of technical knowledge.

I am not a “programmer” but when I started learning Bubble, I watched dozens of how-to videos, lessons and read the Bubble documentation and of course, ultimately used the forum.

I doubt that you will be successful in finding an answer to your question with such a broad question. No none in this forum will give you an API or Bubble API connector 101 course. You must do this work yourself. How good is it if someone gives you a full walk through and you do not understand how it actually works ?

I strongly suggest you start by researching the topic, watching videos, search the forum, etc. to learn the basics of using the API connector. When you started this thread maybe you did not even know there was a Bubble API connector. Now you know. This is where you need to start.

May I suggest typing the following in the Google search bar :
site:bubble.io bubble api connector

You will have over 5000 hits and this would be a great place to start.

Also, start with the Bubble manual here :
https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/bubble-made-plugins/api-connector

Start playing with it, test it. When it doesn’t work and you’ve tried stuff and need help, come back to the forum, ask your question and I am sure that someone will be willing to help you.

Unfortunately, as it is right now, it looks like you are asking for someone to do all the heavy lifting and your chances of receiving a helpful answer is not that great.

Good luck and feel free to ask any specific question going forward if you’re stuck. Always happy to help.

Mike
