Struggling with Recurring Workflow Data Retrieval – Any Tips?

Need help Database

@animisha45 Thanks! Your advice was very helpful. I just discovered that all backend workflows run simultaneously. I’ve been using Bubble for over a year and was unaware of the order of operations. Now, I need to review hundreds of workflows :exploding_head:. Fortunately, I believe I have mostly followed these rules without knowing it.

Reading Order of Operation - #2 by aschofer and watching the video on Understanding Workflow Execution Rules gave me the solution.

Solution:

  1. Step 1: Trigger a backend custom event that runs workflows 1 and 2 (All workflows in a custom event are executed before moving to the next step).
  2. Step 2: Schedule an API Workflow to create a thing.
  3. Step 3: Make changes to the thing (using the result of step X)
