    ℹ️  How do I take a screenshot of an element on the page?

    1. Add the "Group to Image" visual element to your page
    2. If you haven't already exposed HTML ID Attributes for your app, you need to do so from your app's Settings Tab here: https://bit.ly/3xSBswF
    3. Add an HTML ID Attribute to the Bubble group or element you'd like to take a screenshot of (here is a screenshot of the ID attribute you need to add: https://bit.ly/3CN2TvD)
    4. Trigger a workflow action called "Generate Group-to-Image URL from GrouptoImage" to generate the Image, specifying the HTML id attribute you used in step 3


    ℹ️  How do I save the screenshot URL?

    1. On your workflow tab, you can create a new event called "A Screenshot Outputter Screenshot URL has been generated"
    2. This can trigger whatever workflow actions you choose, like saving it to your Bubble database

    *You can also access the screenshot URL from the visual element's state (i.e. "Group to Image's Screenshot URL")

    Work a bit
    August 10th, 2025
    Difficult to configure and need a review to run it
    Works Okay
    May 21st, 2025
    Works well in general but there's a bug where any SVGs on the page will disappear when you run the workflow, so I can't use it. (SVGs are the only image type that don't get compressed by bubble when they load on page.)
    Nothing works with this plugin anymore....

    It stopped working properly and support doesnt respond.
    June 19th, 2024
    It started with a thin white line under the result image, and now the result image is incomplete, it is not identifying images inside the group I am referencing to. If support was more active I would probably solve this issue and would give more stars.
    Works mostly ok, but 3 emails to support and still no response
    May 29th, 2024
    Using the plugin which appeared to be working alright, but ran into an issue with some text in the group/image being exported was getting distorted. Would've been okay if support had responded to any one of my email reachouts, but instead I got nothing. Support is such a crucial part of selling a plugin on Bubble and without it I can only recommend this if people are willing to live with bugs.
