Why can’t “Call API” be one of the options for the top bar action button in a list block? You have a “run custom workflow” option. I want to run a workflow but I do it in Make so I need the API call.
In my specific use case I need to add a record and run a workflow. Since you don’t have this feature I have to create this automation in Make or Airtable to look for when a new record is created and then to take an action.
I was trying to work out if there was a way to solve this already … but I’m not sure …
So, you would use one top bar action button set to “add new record” (datasource is Airtable?) and another one to call an API (ideally)?
I need to add a record and run a workflow.
This is possible within Softr.
I want one top record button of the type “Call API”. This is available for the action buttons for rows in the list but not the top bar for some reason. Within Make I would create the record as well as other functionality that I need for the workflow.
Okay, so maybe take the option to Run Workflow and the Softr workflow (you create) would use the Call API feature.
Thanks for the effort. I’m not interested in adding another place where my application runs workflows. I started building this application before Softr added workflows. It looks like this feature isn’t available so let’s leave this as a feature request. I chose to use an Airtable automation that triggers on a new record creation and then calls a webhook in Make.
