Step 1: Sign up with Bubble.io
- If you haven’t already, create an account on Bubble.io by visiting their website and signing up for a new account. Start a new project by clicking on the "New App" button once you’re logged in.
Step 2: Define your data types
- Go to the 'Data' tab and create a new data type called 'Event'. Inside it, create fields such as 'Starting Time' (type date), 'End Time' (type date), 'Length' (minutes, type number), 'Summary' (type text), 'Description' (type text), and 'Location' (type text). These fields will capture the critical details of each event.
Step 3: Design the Event Creation Page
- Under the 'Design' tab, create a new page or use an existing one to lay out the elements for your 'Create Event' form. Add input fields corresponding to each data field of your 'Event' data type: starting time, end time or length, summary, description, and location.
- Add a 'Save' or 'Create Event' button, which will be used to trigger the event creation workflow.
Step 4: Build event creation workflow
- Click on the 'Save' button you added and start a new workflow. Create an 'Event' and use the input fields to populate the corresponding properties.
- For example, you would make the value of the 'Starting Time' field in your database correspond to the input field's value on the interface where the user selects or enters the starting time of the event.
Step 5: Display events
- On the page where you want to list the events, add a repeating group that displays a list of your 'Event' data type. Configure the repeating group to pull data from the database (your list of events).
Step 6: Set up email notifications
- Inside the workflow for creating an event or other relevant actions, use Bubble's integration with Sendgrid or another email service by setting up actions to "Send email". Customize the body of the email, pull dynamic data from your inputs or database, and handle email template ID setup in the 'Domain & Email' section of the Settings Tab.
Step 7: Add Event Editing Functionality
- To allow users to edit existing events, create a workflow that is initiated when a user clicks an 'Edit' button associated with an event. Populate the input fields with the existing event data and allow the user to submit updated values.
Step 8: Implement User Authentication
- Use Bubble’s built-in user authentication features to allow users to sign up, log in, and manage their events securely. Associate created events with the user who created them for personalization.
Step 9: Test Your Platform
- Use Bubble’s 'Preview' mode to test each function of your platform. Go through the process of creating an event, editing an event, and ensure that emails are successfully being sent when necessary.
Step 10: Publish Your Application
- Once you're satisfied with the functionality and design, use the 'Deploy' tab to make your event organizer platform live and accessible to your audience.
