Bubble Object Operations Workflow

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to interact with Bubble, specifically focusing on creating, updating, and retrieving objects. It provides a foundational example for integrating your n8n workflows with Bubble applications.

What it does

This workflow contains a single Bubble node, pre-configured to showcase its capabilities. While the current JSON only includes the node, in a full implementation, it would typically:

1. Trigger: Start based on an event (e.g., a webhook, a schedule, or another application's data).
2. Perform Bubble Operation: Utilize the Bubble node to:
   • Create a new object: Add new data entries to your Bubble database.
   • Update an existing object: Modify specific fields of an existing data entry in Bubble.
   • Get an object: Retrieve data from your Bubble database based on specific criteria.
   • Delete an object: Remove data entries from your Bubble database.
   • Search for objects: Query your Bubble database for multiple matching entries.

The included Bubble node is a powerful tool for managing data within your Bubble application directly from n8n.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Bubble Account: An active Bubble application where you want to perform operations.
• Bubble API Key: You will need to configure Bubble credentials in n8n, which typically requires a Private Key and potentially an App Name or other authentication details from your Bubble application's API settings.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Copy the provided JSON code.
   • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
   • Click the "Import from JSON" button (usually a cloud icon with an arrow pointing down) and paste the JSON.
2. Configure Bubble Credentials:
   • Click on the "Bubble" node.
   • In the node settings, locate the "Credentials" field.
   • Click "Create New" or select an existing Bubble credential.
   • Enter your Bubble Private Key and any other required authentication details (e.g., App Name, Environment) from your Bubble application's API settings.
3. Configure the Bubble Node (Action):
   • Within the Bubble node, select the desired "Operation" (e.g., "Create", "Update", "Get", "Delete", "Search").
   • Specify the "Resource" (the data type in your Bubble application, e.g., "User", "Product", "Order").
   • Provide the necessary parameters for your chosen operation (e.g., fields for creation, unique ID for update/get/delete, constraints for search).
4. Add a Trigger: To make the workflow functional, add a trigger node (e.g., a "Webhook" node to receive external requests, a "Cron" node for scheduled runs, or another application's trigger node).
5. Test and Activate:
   • Save the workflow.
   • Use the "Test Workflow" button to ensure it runs correctly.
   • Once satisfied, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner.
