How to Build Voice/Video Calls with Adalo

 

Step 1: Sign Up for Adalo and Create a New Project

 

  • Visit Adalo's website and sign up for an account if you don't already have one.
  • Once logged in, click on "Create New App" to start a new project.
  • Select whether you want to create a mobile or web app and provide a name for your project.

 

Step 2: Set Up Your App's User Authentication

 

  • Navigate to the database section of your Adalo project.
  • Add a "Users" collection if it's not already there.
  • Add fields such as "Name", "Email", and "Password" to the "Users" collection.
  • Go to the "Sign Up" and "Login" screens and connect them to the "Users" collection.

 

Step 3: Integrate the Video Calling API

 

  • Find a video calling API provider, such as Twilio or Agora.io, and sign up for an account.
  • Obtain the API key and any other necessary credentials from your chosen provider.
  • In Adalo, navigate to "Settings" and then to the "API" or "External Collections" tab.
  • Add a new collection or API integration for your video calling service.
  • Configure the endpoints and actions, such as creating a new video call session, using the API documentation from your provider.

 

Step 4: Design the User Interface for Video Calls

 

  • Go to the Adalo design editor and add a new screen for video calls.
  • Drag and drop UI components such as buttons and text fields onto the screen to create a layout for starting or joining calls.
  • Add a web viewer component to embed the video call interface provided by your API.
  • Ensure that the web viewer component is configured to load the correct URL or session ID for the video call.

 

Step 5: Implement Call Management Features

 

  • Set up actions and workflows to handle starting, joining, and ending calls.
  • For example, add an action to a "Start Call" button that creates a new video call session and redirects users to the call screen.
  • Similarly, configure a "Join Call" button to allow users to enter an existing call session.
  • Use conditional logic to manage the call state and ensure users can only join active sessions.

 

Step 6: Test and Deploy Your App

 

  • Preview your app in Adalo to test the video call functionality.
  • Make sure to test both the starting and joining call workflows to ensure they work as expected.
  • Check for any issues or bugs and fix them before proceeding to deployment.
  • When you are satisfied with the functionality, publish your app to the desired platform (e.g., App Store, Google Play, or as a web app).
