Allow to use Fibery buttons in Custom Apps

I believe that action buttons are part of the foundation of a business. They control business logic, and actions you want users to be able to take repeatedly.

Ideally, custom apps can add buttons which trigger the underlying Fibery Buttons, and not rely on custom scripts and actions. This way actions are logged, and are editable by the user.

I tried asking the AI to do this explicitly, and it told me it is not possible. I even gave it the button ID.

Please allow this! Would be nice to use the button already created, and incorporate them in the app. Like creating a PDF, for it’s essential!

We have this in future plans

Have you had any luck with this in the more recent updates? Strangely enough, when I asked the agent to link a visual button it created to my Fibery button, it did so seemingly without error. It may have just rebuilt the functionality itself though, I’m not sure

Any updates on this? :folded_hands:

Nothing to report

I work with lots of auxiliary fields for certain automations. Instead of an automation being ran by a button, simply create an auxiliary integer field, let’s call it “(aux) Automation XYZ status”, and put default value as 0.
Configure the automation to run if this field value changes to 1. At the end of the automation, put it back to 0.
In the Custom App, just create a button which changes the field’s value to 1.

Sometimes I need automations to wait for certain things to be finished, before a second step can run (e.g. replacing placeholder variables step by step). In that case, I can split an automation to multiple steps, and make them run based on that field’s value: 1 = run initial automation, 2 = run second part, etc.
