How to trigger workflows based on form inputs in Bubble.io?

Triggering Workflows based on Form Inputs in Bubble.io 1. Setting Up Your Form

Start by dragging and dropping input elements (e.g., Input, Dropdown, etc.) from the Elements tab onto your page in Bubble.io.
Arrange these elements as needed to create your form layout.
Remember to give each input a unique name (ID Attribute), which will help you reference them later in your workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow

Once your form is set up, click the “Workflow” tab in the Bubble editor.
Click on the "+ Add an Event" button to start defining the trigger for your workflow. This can be something like a button click that submits the form.
Choose an event like "When Button is clicked."

3. Configuring Workflow Actions

After defining your event, click on "+ Add an action" to specify what should happen next.
Choose actions from the list, such as "Create a new thing" to save form data in your database, or "Show an element" to display a success message.

4. Using Conditions

You can fine-tune your workflows by adding conditions. Click on "Only when" next to your action to specify conditions based on the form inputs.
For example, you might want to trigger an action only when an input field is not empty or meets a particular criterion.

5. Testing Your Workflows

After configuring your workflows, switch to the Preview mode by clicking the "Preview" button in the top-right corner.
Enter data into your form and perform the action that should trigger the workflow to ensure it works as expected.
