Setting up authentication with Buildship + Flutterflow

Hi,

I followed the instructions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmVrRIUlAFk but I am not seeing any logs appear when I try to pull the authentication data. I've posted further information + screenshots in the Flutterflow community (https://community.flutterflow.io/ask-the-community/post/buildship-flutterflow---api-not-working-qbYyjiSgDynZ2Mb?highlight=d0MhWmpjjNJvuV6) - can someone please help me?

Thank you!

Try adding a path in Buildship and adding that same text to the end of your url in the Flutterflow “API Call” window

it's not working...

Henry Moses•5/31/24, 3:42 PM

Ok give me a few minutes

thank you @Henry Moses ! I did change to generate-uid. Are you suggesting I replicate the example workflow?

Henry Moses•5/31/24, 5:33 PM

Yes!

Henry Moses•5/31/24, 11:50 PM

Hey @starlove , how is it going?

starloveOP•6/2/24, 10:29 PM

hey @Henry Moses I'm not sure I can follow the instructions 1:1 as it doesn't offer to the option to generate UID for the "true" result. This is what I've done but I also can't add a password field. How do you recommend I navigate this? thank you!

Henry Moses•6/3/24, 12:04 PM

Hey @starlove , I’m taking a look at this now!

Henry Moses•6/3/24, 12:22 PM

So, the purpose of this API is to ensure that only authenticated users of your application can send requests to your API endpoint. Based on your workflow, it looks like you’re trying to create a Firebase user, but the user would already be logged in. @starlove

Henry Moses•6/3/24, 12:23 PM

Can you explain to me your desired outcome, and I can help think through the best solution.

starloveOP•6/3/24, 12:24 PM

Thank you @Henry Moses ! Ultimately, the goal is security to ensure that user data is stored securely and I figured it would be best to do with this flow

starloveOP•6/3/24, 12:25 PM

I would also like to trigger a "welcome" email to be sent to the user once they create an account

starloveOP•6/3/24, 12:25 PM

FYI after they create an account. they have to fill out an "application" before they can access the app

Henry Moses•6/3/24, 1:06 PM

So, this trigger can be used once the user is logged in. You can keep your conditional check to see if the user exists in the database. Then, you can do two things:

Take input from the “application.”
Send a welcome email once it's completed.

Hey! @starlove I’m here to help

flutterflow has authentication built in to firebase. Why would someone use buildship instead of the native functionality? what am I missing?
