Connect Xano with FlutterFlow: 2026 Guide

Step-by-Step Guide to Connect Xano with FlutterFlow

Step 1: Create a Xano Account & Workspace

First, sign up on Xano and create a workspace.

• Choose a template or start from scratch
• Access your database and API section

Why this matters:
This is where all your backend logic will live.

Step 2: Set Up Database in Xano

Create a table in Xano.

Example:

• Users table
• Blog posts table

Add fields like:

• Name
• Email
• Password
• Content

Pro Tip: Plan your database structure early to avoid issues later.

Step 3: Create API Endpoints in Xano

Go to API builder and create endpoints.

Examples:

• GET posts
• POST user signup
• LOGIN endpoint

Xano automatically generates API URLs.

This is the core step to Connect Xano with FlutterFlow.

Step 4: Copy API Endpoint URL

Each endpoint has a unique API URL.

Copy it—you’ll need it inside FlutterFlow.

Step 5: Open FlutterFlow & Setup API Call

Inside FlutterFlow:

• Go to API Calls section
• Click “Add API Call”
• Paste your Xano API URL

Choose method:

• GET → Fetch data
• POST → Send data

Step 6: Configure API Response

Map the response fields.

Example:

• title → Text widget
• content → Display field

FlutterFlow allows you to bind API data visually.

Step 7: Connect UI to API

Now link your UI elements:

• Button → triggers API call
• ListView → displays API data

Your app is now dynamic.

Step 8: Test the Integration

Always test:

• Check API responses
• Fix errors
• Validate data

If something breaks, it’s usually API mapping.

Step 9: Add Authentication (Optional but Important)

Use Xano’s auth system:

• Login
• Signup
• Token-based authentication

Connect it with FlutterFlow login screens.

Step 10: Deploy Your App

Once everything works:

• Publish your FlutterFlow app
• Scale backend via Xano

You now have a full-stack app.
