Yay! I’ve managed to ‘open a channel’ in weweb, and when I push an event in my xano api, I get the event inside weweb in realtime. However, as soon as I turn off ‘anonymous clients’ in my Xano realtime channel settings, weweb doesn’t receive anymore. I cannot find any way to send an auth token when opening a channel in the weweb actions. Anyone that knows the trick?

Hi @nealzie ,

realtime token is sent automatically when a user logs in. I use XanoAuth plugin for login.

Btw, I also had an issue where I couldn’t find “RealtimeAuthToken”, but I don’t actually remember how I solved it and what the reason was . I guess I just reimported XanoAuth plugin.
