on page load Periodic Action Not Triggering API Call as Expected

Actions & Logic

I'm experiencing an issue with the Start Periodic Action in FlutterFlow. I've configured it to make an API call (specifically, FetchShoutcastMetadata) every 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds). However, the periodic action does not seem to trigger the API call as expected.

What have you tried so far?

  • Verified that the periodic action is set to start immediately with the correct interval.

  • Added a Wait Action before starting the periodic action to account for any potential timing conflicts, but this did not resolve the issue.

  • Tested the API call using a manual button press, and it works perfectly when triggered manually, so the issue seems specific to the periodic action setup.

  • Attempted to use debug logs and UI elements to track the action's execution, but the periodic action doesn't appear to run consistently.

I would appreciate guidance on how to ensure the periodic action reliably triggers the API call every 4 seconds. Any insights or troubleshooting steps that could help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
