This guide is the beginning of the documentation with the built-in Notes for the database. Will help you gain a better understanding of how the template and Bubble works.

Starting with the Template

Once you have bought the template, you will see a dropdown in the ‘Create an app’ popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application. This popup can be access in the ‘Apps’ section of bubble.io.

💡

Note: This can only be done when you create a new app.

After you've created the app, complete the other fields with necessary data (i.e: Name of the new app, What kind of application you are building, etc) and press Create a new app.

💡

Tip: A template isn't a theme for your app, but a pre-built set of elements and workflows. You can modify the template as you would modify another app.

Wait for Bubble to load the application with all the data.

After the application has loaded, you'll see the Bubble assistant on the left side for New Application. You can close it or follow the assistant steps to adjust different settings.

Optional: Select your default font

Optional: Select your default colours

Optional: Finally, add any other plugins that you want to enhance the template with.

Now you're ready to go and dive into Bubble no-code development toolset.

Congrats: You have successfully created a Bubble app based on your template. Now, you can proceed with the setup.

API Connector

This template is using third-party services. There are some data calls left that require API Keys configurations in order to function properly. These services are:

Slack (Optional)

This is used more for administration, so I can see when a user has signed up, or when they want to move to a premium subscription

💡

Tip: Generate a slack hook: https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1

Remove Demo Login

This template comes with demo accounts and demo buttons for testing purposes, which do not require a full sign-up process in order to test the platform features. Feel free to delete these login options in your app.

💡

Tip: Please note that deleting the demo buttons will delete the button workflows as well. Removing these demo options doesn't affect any other aspect of the template.

In order to delete demo login, follow the instructions:

on the signup page, find the Demo group and delete it.
