  Understanding Conditional Actions in Bubble.io  

Conditional actions in Bubble.io allow you to specify actions in a workflow that will only occur if certain conditions are met. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how to set up conditional actions in workflows:

  Step 1: Navigate to the Workflow Tab  
  • Open your Bubble.io application.
  • Click on the "Workflow" tab located in the editor.
  Step 2: Create a New Workflow  
  • In the Workflow tab, click on "Click here to add an event" to start creating a new workflow.
  • Select the event that you want to trigger the workflow, such as "When a button is clicked".
  Step 3: Add an Action  
  • After selecting your event, click on "Click here to add an action" to choose what should happen when the event is triggered.
  • Choose an action from the list, such as "Element Actions → Show an element".
  Step 4: Configure the Action  
  • Configure the chosen action by selecting the elements and settings that apply. For example, choose which element to show.
  Step 5: Add a Condition to the Action  
  • Once the action is configured, you’ll need to add a condition. Click on “Only when” which appears next to the action.
  • Enter the condition that must be met for the action to execute. For example, you can set a condition like "Current User's email is empty".
  Step 6: Test Your Workflow  
  • Run your application and trigger the event to ensure that the action only executes when the specified condition is true.
  • Adjust the conditions or actions as necessary based on your testing results.
  Utilize Advanced Conditionals  
  • For complex conditions, you can utilize advanced operators and combine multiple conditions using AND/OR logic.
  • You can also reference dynamic data and inputs in your conditions for more tailored workflows.
  Example: Conditional Navigation  
  • Create a button click event for navigation.
  • Set an action to navigate to a new page.
  • Add a condition like “Only when Current User’s role is ‘admin’.”
 

Following these steps will help you effectively set up conditional actions within workflows in Bubble.io, enhancing the interactivity and logic of your no-code applications.
