Link App Users to External Database

[Jade]

Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute rather than just ask questions… Is there a way to link people that’s signed up for the app to a database that already exists? I have a general understanding of API’s. But specifically. If John Doe signs up for the app, can I link him to John Doe that has previously signed up to my mailing list. I understand that I would probably have to import the external list to a database within Adalo.

Thanks in advance for your help!

There a 2 ways you could do this.

You could use External Collections to bring the external database in to Adalo.

You could use a Custom Action to query that API for the external database to check if that user exists and what their details are.

Thanks, I’m not quite at that skill level yet, but soon!
