Integrating Flowise for AI Chat: Experiences with Iframes vs. Custom Actions?

1

Aloha everyone,

I’m currently working on a SaaS project (an AI-driven platform) and I’m looking to integrate Flowise into Adalo to create a seamless AI chat experience.

I previously experimented with n8n-chat via a web portal/iframe. While it worked, I ran into two main roadblocks:

  1. Resizing Issues: The iframe doesn’t play nicely with Adalo’s layout, leading to weird scaling and scrolling issues on mobile.

  2. Licensing: The n8n fair-code license isn’t ideal for the multi-tenant SaaS model I’m building.

Flowise seems like the better path forward—it’s more flexible for SaaS and purpose-built for LangChain flows. I’m exploring two routes and would love your input:

  • Option A: Web Portal (Iframe/Embed). Has anyone successfully managed the CSS/resizing to make this feel native in Adalo?

  • Option B: Custom Actions + Custom List. Using Adalo’s Custom Actions to hit the Flowise API and displaying the results in a custom list to maintain full UI control.

Two questions for the community:

  1. Has anyone successfully integrated Flowise into their Adalo app? If so, which method did you find most reliable?

  2. Is anyone interested in following along? I’m happy to document my journey/findings here if there’s interest in a “How-To” once I’ve cracked the code.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Looks interesting Michael! Haven’t used Flowise but another option other than the 2 options you mentioned would be building a custom component by integrating Flowise SDK. (What do you guys think? : @NoCodeMonkey, @gskachkov, @knight, @JasonM, @jose)

Thank you and have a great day!

I will have to familiarize myself with Flowise. I’ve never used it before, but when I get caught up on a project I’m working on I’ll check into it. Meanwhile, I’d love to follow your journey with this @michaelappdev.
