Hi, In the app that I am building I organized the firebase real-time database like this: request (this is the parent), userId (they can be many different), and list with the location for each user. ( ![thunk](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/9/a9380822afdbbb3117c22b77ba35d1cf905f3a1d.png) I want to listen to request if any userId will be added and get the userId that has been added. How can I do that with thunkable? ---
