Bubble API Changes
On April 6, 2023, Bubble announced pricing changes that affected their API. Whalesync uses polling to observe changes to records, which uses Bubble's "workload units". Bubble does not support webhooks which would reduce the need for polling. We are working with the Bubble team to find a good solution, but in the meantime, please be aware that Whalesync may use a significant amount of your workload units depending on your Bubble subscription.

Things to Keep in Mind
Must enable data API Bubble requires the Data API to be enabled for syncing to work. Follow the instructions below to enable it.
Go to Settings > API
Check the box for "Enable Data API"
Check the box for all tables you plan to sync
Renaming schema, tables, or columns will break Whalesync mappings If you rename a table or column, you'll need to remap the impacted table/column in Whalesync. Note - remapping an impacted table will lead to duplicates unless you reset your data as well.
The email field for User "things" has a record sync delay if syncing with Airtable Bubble has a special data table called User that they treat differently than other tables. Specifically, you need to send it a valid email address. When syncing Bubble with Airtable, this can cause problems since Airtable saves every keystroke. To avoid this issue, Whalesync defaults to a 30-second record sync delay. See record sync delay for more details.
Bubble x Airtable
Use Airtable as a database for your Bubble app without running into API limits/performance issues (as is common with the Airtable plugin).
Bubble x Postgres
Make your Bubble app scale forever by syncing your Bubble data to a Postgres database.
