Hello everyone
I am new to thunkable and I am playing around with the variables and running into an issue. I am using cloud variable where I am trying to save an email/password to Firebase DB. I created an account on Firebase and linked the API Key/DB URL. But when I try to save the email/password to the firebase DB, I dont see the entry being saved.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
AR

It might be an issue with credentials, that you have entered in thunkable for firebase DB,
And why are you using API to store this simple data, there is the cloud variable block in thunkable, [see this documentation](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables)
Please provide link or screenshot of your app.

The documentation is lacking in details but if you watch the video about Cloud Variables there, it provides much more of those details: [Variables - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables#cloud-variables).

Thank you for your feedback
Below is the screen shot from design block
Block code for Register Page
Block code for Login page.
I copy pasted the API key/DB URL from firebase.
Thanks

π π π Ohh, i see
in your problem, you said that you canβt see entry being saved.
And after seeing your code, i think the issue might be with the place where you are seeing the users, i think you are seeing them on your RTDB or firestore, thatβs wrong π« π

If this was not the solution, then i think you might have not entered the API key and address of your Database at correct place in thunkable:
1. Go to settings of your app
2. Scroll down and u will find a place to enter you firebase settings like API Key and Database URL.
3. Fill them correctly and try again.
If this also not helped then please reply and send some screenshots.

FB rules are the likely culprit here.
How are your rules configured. Check out [this guide](https://medium.com/@juliomacr/10-firebase-realtime-database-rule-templates-d4894a118a98) to getting started

It says your email address is badly formatted. If you Google shortest Gmail address, youβll find that you need to have at least 6 characters before the @ symbol.

Hello @ayaanaraza9fb!
Thanks for sharing the error message.
I checked your project, you are adding the email as a password and the password as an email because you named the components the opposite of what the hint is.
