Hi there.
This is probably a very stupid question, and I feel slightly ashamed to ask it as a heavy user of no-code tools for many years, but I’ve scoured the community and gone through the full Academy and Docs and can’t find the answer, so here goes…
I’m currently building a client portal so that clients can see and request tasks. I’m using SmartSuite as a ‘backend’ as we use this very effectively as a team project management tool. I have setup Xano Auth and have it all working. However, I only want clients to be able to see tasks linked to them in SmartSuite. Obviously this would involve some kind of setup where I use the native filter to only show SmartSuite tasks where the client’s Xano User ID matches some stored data in SmartSuite, but this is where I’m stuck. I’ve got the filter working to only show tasks where the user email is ‘x’ but that doesn’t seem secure. I also thought about storing a Xano User ID in SmartSuite, but again that would be static so doesn’t seem secure (as confirmed by a user in this post).
Can a variable be used to store an auth token or similar? If so, how do I match this to something in SmartSuite?
I’ve loved using WeWeb for many months, but am finding I’m only really able to build things with a single ‘backend’ (like Xano, for data and auth) or where data isn’t user specific and is gated. I’m yet to work out how to use one ‘backend’ for auth and another for data, and show user specific data securely.
Thanks in advance!
