Has anyone successfully gotten this working? I’m attempting to use Wix’s External Database Collections to expose items in an Adalo collection as individual web pages on a Wix site.
I’m having difficulty creating the external collection in the Wix editor though. These are the steps I’ve done:
-
Go to the API docs for the collection in Adalo
-
Grab the endpoint link + the Authorization / Content type vars
-
Go into the Wix editor, enable Dev mode, add External Collections
-
Paste in the endpoint URL and add the Authorization and Content-Type params as JSON.
Unfortunately I get this error when I do that:
That’s not a very descriptive error message “fails provision request.”
I’m able to hit the same endpoint just fine with Postman so I know it’s at least exposing it properly from the Adalo side:
My thought is it’s something related to Adalo needing to receive the Authorization and Content-Type params as Header variables instead of JSON but Wix AFAIK doesn’t give the ability to send Headers. Curious if anyone has made this work. Would be very useful in absence of the Friendly URL capability in Adalo web apps to be able to expose collection items as web pages. TIA
