URGENT: API Connector Actions Disappeared from Workflow List in ALL My Apps (Suspected Platform Bug)

Need help APIs
1

Hello Bubble Community & Bubble Staff,

I’m experiencing a critical and highly frustrating issue that seems to be a platform-level bug, as it affects all my Bubble applications. I’ve already opened a support ticket (I can provide the ticket number if requested).

The Core Problem: API Connector actions (specifically those configured as ‘Action’) are no longer appearing in the ‘Plugins’ section of the workflow editor. This prevents me from using any external API integrations.

Timeline & Key Observations:

  1. Initial Symptoms: I first noticed inconsistencies with app updates not reflecting correctly on mobile (even after deployment), while working fine on desktop.
  2. Disappearance of API Actions: Around that time, the API Connector actions completely disappeared from the workflow action list. This is happening in:
  • My main development application.
  • Crucially, in all my older, existing applications where I previously used these API actions.
  • A brand new, empty test application where I installed the API Connector and configured a simple API call (to my Google Cloud Function) also fails to show the new API action in its workflow list.
  1. API Configuration is Correct & Functional:
  • My API Connector configurations (e.g., Google Cloud Function - API Call) are set as ‘Action’, use correct POST URLs, have the essential Content-Type: application/json header, and correctly formatted JSON bodies.
  • I have successfully initialized these API calls in the API Connector. My Google Cloud Run logs confirm that requests are reaching my backend service (even if initially empty body due to missing test value, or later full base64 strings). This unequivocally proves the API setup itself is correct and functional in terms of establishing a connection.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken (Extensive):

I have performed all standard and advanced troubleshooting steps, with no success:

  • Thorough browser cache clearing (all time, on multiple browsers).
  • Testing in incognito/private mode.
  • Repeated editor reloads.
  • Renaming API Connector groups and individual calls.
  • Creating entirely new API Connector calls in different apps.
  • Ensuring the API call is set to ‘Use as: Action’.
  • Confirming Content-Type: application/json header is present.
  • Successful initialization of the API calls (proving backend communication).

Conclusion:

Given that this issue affects all my applications, old and new, and persists despite comprehensive troubleshooting, it strongly suggests a platform-level bug or a deeper caching/indexing issue within Bubble’s infrastructure specific to my account. I am currently blocked from proceeding with any API integrations.

Hi there,

Yes, absolutely. I’ve already reached out to Bubble Support via email and have been in communication with them.

I just received an update from Anna (from the support team) stating that they are escalating my case to the technical team for further investigation.

I’ve provided them with all the details of the issue, including the extensive troubleshooting steps I’ve already performed (as detailed in my initial post here) and the fact that this bug is affecting the API Connector’s visibility across all my Bubble applications, old and new.

Thank you for checking in!
