Send an app message

Sometimes, you want to send an app message to trigger an event in your Bubble app. This guide walks through how.

​

Steps

​

1. Add the Bundle Daily Events element

Place the Bundle Daily Events element on your page. A common practice is to place it inside a hidden popup, keeping it offscreen while it listens for events.

​

2. Start listening for events

After joining the room, add the Begin Listening action. This ensures that Bubble can detect and process incoming events, such as app-message.

​

3. Send app message

Use the send app message action anywhere in your workflow to transmit a message.

​

4. Handle the app message event

When an app message event is triggered, take action in your app. This could be displaying a popup, showing a notification, or any other custom action you define.

Note: App messages do not trigger for the sender (broadcaster). In this example, we send a notification with the value of the message, but the possibilities are endless.
