How To Use Custom Events In Bubble.io (Complete Guide)

In this complete guide, you’ll learn exactly how to streamline your workflows in Bubble by using custom events.

In simple terms, custom events are like reusable workflows; they allow you to build a workflow once, then reference that existing workflow whenever you need that event to occur. Custom events save you the time of having to manually rebuild repetitive workflows more than once.

Within this guide, you’ll learn everything there is to know about custom events. This includes 👇

1. The benefits of custom events
2. How to build a new custom event from scratch
3. How to edit an existing custom event
4. How custom events affect the sequence of workflow actions
5. How to send data within custom events using parameters

Great video! Let me add one more thing to it. Custom events can be used to run workflows based on conditions (Only when...).

Thank you very much mate, I appreciate your videos and how much work you put on it

Nice one - many thanks! Also just to let folks know you can't reference a Custom Event if it's not also on the page you are creating a workflow for. However you can create the Custom Event on a reusable element and use the 'Trigger Custom Event from a Reusable Element'. I think that's way I read it.

Any chance you have a video that goes over how you setup the first two items in that workflow...

Thank u, What if the elements (btn : follow) are in different pages (using reusable elements does work ?)

Hi! Is there any discount or coupon code for your courses? I love your videos and I would like to learn more with your courses but I think they are pricy. Thank you! Happy new year!

You mention a couple times that all of the steps in the workflow run at the same time, but that doesn't seem possible if you can use the results of the previous step.
