Question about plugin Swipe to Workflow Action

Hi,

For my app onboarding, I want to create a horizontal scrolling option like in the example below where one can swipe. Do I need a plugin like ‘Swipe to Workflow Action’ in order to achieve this?

Hello @remco.berg77,
Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, it’s possible to achieve your goal with Swipe to Workflow Action plugin.

You can use these available events to show the next or previous of a repeating group.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Hello Gulce,

Thanks for your reply. Do I understand correctly that I need a repeating group in order for this to work? It’s not possible to -let’s say- swipe from one group to the next (hiding and showing)?

If this only can be done with a repeating group I need to create a datebase field (I think), which feels a bit cumbersome if all I want to do is show a bit of text.

Hi @remco.berg77,

It would also be possible with different groups as you can specify multiple IDs in the plugin element: Screenshot by Lightshot

Thanks for you help. I’ve installed the plugin. I’m trying to implement a swipe from text 1 to text 2 and then from text 2 to text 3. I have the text elements in one group. Swiping from text 1 to text 2 works fine, but I don’t understand how to get it to swipe from text 2 to text 3. If it’s even possible. Perhaps I need a repeating group anyway to achieve that?

Hi @remco.berg77,

Allow me to please check it with the developer team on Monday and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have any updates. :pray:

In the meantime, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @remco.berg77,
Thank you for your patience. :pray:

We’ve checked the functionality to swipe multiple elements instead of a repeating group and updated the plugin. Kindly ask you to upgrade your plugin to the latest version (1.22.0) and follow the steps below:

  • please create the custom state “numberEl” for the “Swipe generator” element. This state represents the index of the visible elements.
Summary

  • all the elements should be visible on the page load (text1, text2, text3)
Summary

  • For all elements please set the following conditional. Where number indicates the index of elements in order.
Summary



  • Then you need to define 2 workflows as in the example below.

The workflow for left swipe. Where 3 is the number of all elements:

Hi @Gulce,

Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate the effort you took to update the plugin and give me detailed instructions. However, despite following your exact instructions, I still can’t swipe from text2 to text3. Swiping from text1 to text2 works, but after that when I try to swipe to the right or to the left nothing happens.

If possible, could you check if I’ve set up everything correctly? I can set the editor to Everyone can edit and give you the link.

Hi @remco.berg,
Sorry for the late reply due to the weekend. :pray:

Sure. For this please add our support@zeroqode.com email as a collaborator of your app and please also mention on which page and which scenario should be tested.

Best regards,
Gulce
