Go Beyond Basics: Use Custom Code for VLOOKUP Logic in Your Adalo App

This is the first part of our 3-part holiday building series! 🎁 In this session, Adalo's Kyle Belford walks you through the fundamentals of Custom Actions and demonstrates their power by starting to build a Christmas village shopping app for Santa's elves. Learn how to leverage Custom Actions to integrate with external APIs (like a weather service) and how to write and deploy your own code scripts (using services like Cloudflare) for advanced logic, such as checking for an active user cart. Key Takeaways & What You'll Learn: Understanding Custom Actions: What they are and how to add them to any button or component in Adalo. Simple API Integration (GET Request): See how to connect to an external weather API (weatherapi.com) to fetch and display the current temperature to the logged-in user. Tip: Learn why you must manually trigger custom actions (e.g., with a button) and why they cannot run directly as a screen-level action for receiving outputs. Advanced Logic with Custom Scripts (POST Request): Discover how to use AI (like Claude) to generate a custom VLOOKUP-style script, deploy it using Cloudflare Workers, and use a custom action to: Check if the current user already has an "open" shopping cart for a specific shop. If no cart is found, the script creates a new cart and returns the ID. If a cart is found, the script returns the existing cart ID. This ID is then stored on the logged-in user for future actions (like adding an item to the cart). App Building Flow: Follow along as Kyle sets up the basic app structure, including user sign-up, shop listings, item details, and the foundation for a multi-shop shopping cart system.
