I didn’t see anything outlining this specifically so I thought I’d ask here. I’m working on a subscription-based web app. What I’m looking to do is allow users to use the app and create profiles only when they are subscribers. I’m planning on doing a free trial, then charging. I see in stripe I’m a…

Hey @jjking , I would suggest this instead: Have an expiry date for subscriptions in general. When a user signs up for a free trial, set the expiry date as current time + 14. When a user signs up for a subscription, set the expiry date as current expiry date + 30.4375 (365.25 / 12). For the count…

I saw a post about limiting screen access based on subscription, would it be similar to that? Yes this is what you would want to be doing. There are 2 ways of limiting access to something. Visibility rules: Changing Component Visibility - Adalo Resources Conditional actions: Conditional Ac…

Hey @jjking , just a suggestion: If you’re intending to offer a free trial, let anyone sign up for an account. In the Users collection, add in a few extra fields. Free trial (true or false) Free trial expiry (date and time) Active subscriber (true or false) By default, when a user signs up, free…

Hey @vancewong , thanks so much for this response. This is exactly what I was looking for, so now I don’t need to require credit card to sign up which was my initial workflow. I haven’t tried anything with Zapier just yet but I think that is a great idea. One issue I ran into is the action on the s…

Hey @jjking , you should have a home screen that’s visible to anyone, whether they’re subscribed or not. When they navigate to the next depth screens, ie. any screen accessible from the home screen, then you set a condition - if current time is after free trial period, send them to the subscription …

Thanks @vancewong I’ve almost got the first part worked out, not the Zapier part just yet. One question I had is, do you know how to remove the expiry date for the free trial? I tested putting in 0 in the database and it made it 01/01/2000. It won’t let me type null or empty. Another issue I’m tryi…

What I haven’t been able to figure out in Zapier is how to tell Zapier which record to update in Adalo. Apparently there is a Record ID that Zapier needs in order to know which record to update. Such Record ID is supposed to be the last number in the record URL (when you navigate your collections in…

I don’t have experience with this (maybe not yet, at least :joy:), but I think one workaround is to add another field in both the users and subscriptions (or payments) collections. You can call it objectID or something, and this should never be referenced by anything other than Zapier. Then your u…

This is something we need to fix from our end but also a problem that hopefully becomes less important when we have our internal API available to use for collections.

@anon78309838 do you guys have a timeline on that? Debating if I should mess with building something for subscriptions or waiting till you have a better workflow.
