Auto Refresh List Block for NO-CODERS

Custom Coding
1

I have a list block and I want it to auto-refresh when someone presses the delete button for the item. I see lots of explanations of using custom code snippets with something called event listeners in forums. The challenge is that I don’t write code which is why I’m here using Softr. So those forum entries aren’t anything I can follow. This seems like a feature that ought to be native.

Can someone explain, for a no-coder audience, how to insert custom code into Softr so a list is updated after a button is clicked?

Some nuances:

  1. I’d prefer to not have the whole page refreshed.

  2. I don’t think it makes sense to refresh every 10 seconds. Only after the delete button has been pressed.

  3. Some forums suggest I need to reference the blockID. How do I find that? I can’t find it natively, in documentation, or by parsing the HTML in the browser.

Hi,

This should become a native feature when workflows are released.

In the meantime, I can do it for you, you just need to give me the blockID of the block where the delete action occurs and the block(s) you want to automatically refresh after a deletion

About where to find the blockID it’s here:

That being said, if you want the block where the delete action occurs to be auto refreshed – and only this block, then it’s native and automatic, see post below :point_down:

@dylanthered I think I’m missing something here… here is video and the blocks refresh just fine… can you share what’s your use case ?
