No Outputs Available in Action Flyout

If you’re not seeing your Custom Action Output as an option when mapping it to a property in an Update or Create action, it may be due to a type mismatch between the Output and the property.

When mapping data, Adalo only shows Outputs that match the property’s data type. For example, a Text Output will not appear as an option for a Number property.

---

Possible Reasons:

Output Type Does Not Match Property Type Each Output in a Custom Action is set to one of three types — Text, Number, or Date/Time. If your property uses a different type, Adalo will automatically hide incompatible Outputs.

Incorrect Data Format in JSON Sometimes the JSON response returns data in a format that doesn’t match the expected type. For instance, a number may be returned as a string ("32") instead of a true number (32), or a date may be returned as text that isn’t formatted as a valid timestamp.

Resolution:

1. Check the Output types defined in your Custom Action.

   • Confirm that Text, Number, or Date/Time types match the properties you’re updating.

2. Review the JSON response in the Show Full Response view to confirm that the data is properly formatted.

   • Text values should be in quotes.

   • Numbers and booleans should not use quotes.

   • Dates should be formatted as valid timestamps or date strings.

3. If needed, adjust the JSON format in your external service or reconfigure the Output type in Adalo.

4. Save your Custom Action again and retry the mapping.
