Hey there! Sorry if this has been discussed but I was unable to find the string. Is it possible to design two separate apps that communicate with each other? For example, if I press a button on App A, it will create an action on App B. Would love to see how this might be possible.
Thanks!!
It’s easy. You only need to connect both apps to the same data source. Of course, both applications must have access to the Internet. If you are on Windows I can send you an example using AirTable as data source. Or an example based on Firebase or even based on a PHP web server. Next week there will be a new release that also supports Google Sheets as data source.
Thanks Michael! I would love to see the windows option. I’m currently looking at two windows devices. Would like see both airtable and firebase if possible. Much appreciated.

Hi Michael, is there a 2.4 beta version for Mac? I am working off a mac but building the apps for windows. Thanks!

Hi Michael/Flipabit team!
Now that Airtable does not work, is there an example of this for firebase? I have been testing but am struggling to get App B to identify the value of the field published by App A. I have App B triggering an action when ‘Database data changed’ but cant seem to figure out how to tell it to only occur when a specific field value changes from no to yes. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks as always,
Tom
