This is an interesting issue I am hoping to find a solution to.
When I use the “Sign Up User” action at the beginning of my workflow the entire workflow loads in 12 seconds.
When I remove the “Sign Up User” action from the workflow it loads in 1-2 seconds.
When I place the “Sign Up User” at the end of the workflow it loads in less than 3 seconds.
I need to place the “Sign Up User” at the beginning of the workflow, but I do not understand why it is taking 12 seconds to load given the workflow loads in 1-2 second when I remove the “Sign Up User” action. Is this a bug? Are there anyways around this issue?
If the long workflow time is a problem on the front end for the User, you could separate out the workflows eg. workflow 1 is just ‘shows a thing’ and ‘sign up’. workflow 2 is the event ‘when this thing is true’ (eg. thing is visible), do workflow 2, and all the other stuff goes in to that workflow 2. Then while workflow 2 is running, distract the user on the front end with something else.
Am following, interested to see if there are any suggestions from other Bubblers.
@cowontherun Thanks for the response. You will find this 4th test even more interesting.
I separated the workflow into 2 workflows. After the “Sign Up User” action is complete I schedule a custom event to run in .01 seconds that triggers the rest of the workflow from the previous screenshot. The entire workflow including the custom event runs in less than 2 seconds.
Interesting that Bubble cannot handle putting the 2 together. I have workflows 4 times as long that do not have this run time issue. This has to be a bug.
Thanks, Emmanuel. I did submit this as a bug report. I put 12 hours in to trying to restructure my workflow and I have not found a fix (besides splitting up the sign up user action into a separate workflow). On a side not that may be related, I am continuously receiving this warning general error, as well. I submitted this report error code as a bug report.
