How do I connect Twidget to Supabase? I couldn't find documentation on connecting to an external database.
Answered by Twidget
Connect to Supabase via its REST API: create HTTP Request commands in Twidget that call Supabase’s API endpoints. Reference: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api and see this example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrY_7xnA10g

Locating Swagger documentation
The Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation is available on the API page in your Twidget environment.
Making a field required in a POST request
Use the Validate commands to check that the field exists and throw an error if it does not. This will return a non‑200 response and prevent the record from being created. See the validate tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAbQP37ImUI&pp=0gcJCU8JAYcqIYzv
