This is a copy of the original topic.
Your qeustion is how to create a chat app. Right? if so Use cloud variabeles.
Maybe show your blocks so we can see whats wrong with Them.

Hi there,
This realtime DB block is the same as this cloud variable block:
And this realtimeDB block is the same as this cloud variable block:
I am using dynamically named variables here, so you don’t even need an initialize block!
Does that help you understand how to use cloud variables instead of the Realtime DB component in your Drag and Drop project?

that block can only be found in the legacy UI.
if you want to use the DnD UI then use @jane her example with cloud variables.

Hello @jane
Your example helped can you help me locate the “in Realtime DB” block.
the purple block?
The purple realtime DB block is not available in the drag and drop UI.
You need to use cloud variables in the drag and drop UI.
That comment demonstrates how these blocks can complete exactly the same actions of uploading and getting values to/from a Firebase media DB.
