Hi,
First day with Thunkable, I’ve been looking through connect a Firebase Database to my app, but I can find the ‘save’ function in the API call block. I can see the following functions; Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete.
Probably being stupid, but any help would be great,
Thanks,
Billy

Unless you need the API functions, it’s usually easiest to use cloud variables to save and retrieve Firebase data.
