and order all list "stuff" from A->Z would be practical
(instead of..creation date???))

Ben Haefele Are there any plans to handle multiple records from the response? See: https://forum.adalo.com/t/custom-data-in-api-request/1983/17
Or use of Magic Text for endpoints in external collections?
Ben Haefele
karimoo: Magic text for external collection set up is coming soon. Handling multiple records from a custom action response is on our radar, but we need to have support for actions that can create/update/delete multiple records first for that to have any value.

Ben Haefele: Any idea when acting on multiple records will be delivered? I was really looking forward to custom action outputs but ran into this. I call an API that returns a list of items tied to dates.
Ben Haefele
Sarah Williams: We're definitely seeing a lot of requests for this. Could you provide some more info on what you would want to do with the returned items?
S
Sarah Williams
Ben Haefele: My plan is to add the resulting list of items (in this case events) into a collection and display them in a calendar.
Flav
Ben Haefele: I have an example I came across recently. I need to connect to an API where you input a UK Postcode and it will return a list of addresses.
Ben Reynolds
Ben Haefele: Any updates for magic text for external collection setup? This would be a great addition to a few features I've had to hack together with workarounds but aren't the greatest UX.
Ben Haefele
Ben Reynolds: Hopefully available in the next few weeks

Sarah Williams
Ben Haefele: Any news on when we can have lists being returned from Custom Actions?

We need Manage/Delete for Custom Actions as well. See: https://forum.adalo.com/t/manage-and-delete-custom-actions/2970

This feature is completed as far as I see.

jack: oh ok thanks!

Good job on the new Custom Actions!
Adalo, is slowly making great strides towards being a serious programming environment!
Do you have any idea how long until we can use data returned from an API call and have it exposed to the Adalo developer in variables?
Specifically, I need access to a returned authentication token and a refreshtoken to be able to use them in future operations (thru Magic Text), and also be able to use a timer to be able to call the refresh token action just before the first returned token expires.
Otherwise, it's not possible to use APIs that return tokens that have to be included in every following operation after the authorization call.

will we be able to feed the api data from existing collections?

With custom actions, can we trigger actions to all list items displayed in a page at once? Ben Haefele

Is it planned to include OAuth authentication with this? The use case we would love to be able to tackle is Xero: https://developer.xero.com/documentation/oauth2/auth-flow

Ben Haefele I understand giving a release date for features may not be a good idea, but is there a way to share a moving target approximate/possible time frame i.e. mid-March/end-June (all goes to plan/obstacles and other unrelated priorities interfere). It may also help with the adoption of the product as some features could be essential to some users - this feature for myself.
Ben Haefele
Enzo Tar: I would be very surprised if it's not before the end of June
E
Enzo Tar
Ben Haefele: is end-March a possibility?
Ben Haefele
Enzo Tar: Probably not
Michael Worthington
Ben Haefele: How about now? And will it enable making api calls within it?
Ben Haefele
Michael Worthington: Yes, it will allow you to make api calls. Still looking at the same timeline
Michael Worthington
Ben Haefele: Perfect. Via the external collections, you are able to make API calls, but what is missing is the ability to add a query string based on form data or a property from from one of the collection records.
