How to add a report user feature in Bubble

You add a report user feature in Bubble by creating a Report data type, adding a Report User button on the user profile, and running a Create a new Report workflow when the button is clicked. The workflow saves who reported whom, the reason, and any evidence. Then you use Privacy Rules so regular users cannot see reports, and you build an admin page to review them.

What you need in the database

Create a new data type named Report. This stores each submitted report safely.

• Fields:
• reported\_user (User)
• reported\_by (User)
• reason (text)
• details (text, optional)
• screenshot (image, optional)

Add the report button

On the user profile page, add a simple button labeled Report User. This should open a popup so the user can enter a reason and optional details.

• Add a Group Focus or popup with inputs: reason (dropdown or text), details (multiline input).
• Include a file uploader if you want screenshots.

Workflow to save the report

On the popup’s submit button, trigger a workflow with the action Data → Create a new Report.

• reported\_user = Current Page User
• reported\_by = Current User
• reason = Input Reason's value
• details = Input Details's value
• screenshot = Uploader's value

// This is a Bubble backend workflow example if you want to log extra metadata
// Trigger: When a new Report is created
// Action: Make changes to thing → Report
modified_date = Current date/time

Set privacy rules

Go to Privacy for the Report data type. Add rules so only admins and backend workflows can view reports.

• Deny all fields to “Everyone else”.
• Create a rule: When Current User’s role is admin → allow view.

Create a simple admin review page

Add a repeating group with type Report and data source Do a search for Reports. Inside, show reported\_user, reporter, reason, and any screenshot. Only admins can access this page.
