Bubble is a leading no-code platform with a robust user base of over 3 million. Bubble plugins are a core part of the platform's allure, acting as Bubble’s take on integrations. These plugins enable users to enhance the platform with additional elements, API calls, and actions.
You have the opportunity to build and monetize plugins for the broader community or develop private plugins for bespoke code solutions in your applications. If you’re keen to understand the nuts and bolts of these integrations, let’s take a deep dive.
The anatomy of a Bubble plugin
General tab
Define the plugin's appearance in the library and optimize its keywords for better visibility if you plan to list it in the public marketplace
Shared tab
Where you can define technical settings like headers, API keys, and assets.
API calls
This section allows you to set up new API connections and authentication methods. It functions similarly to the API connector within Bubble’s editor.
Elements
Create new Bubble elements to use within the Bubble designer. For a detailed guide on element creation, check out Bubble's official element documentation.
Actions
Design custom actions for use in Bubble workflows. For an in-depth tutorial on action development, refer to Bubble's official action documentation.
Settings
Manage your plugin's publication, licensing, and version updates. If you're developing a private plugin, this is where you provide app access.
Reviews
Keep an eye on user feedback for public plugins through the reviews section.
