Is the Q1 release an Early Access date or a Production release date?

Will there be a way to use pipelines without the visual UI (i.e. view/edit as a schema)?
Will Pipelines be accessible from the QuickBase API?
Will Pipelines be able to trigger API calls, or be triggered from other QuickBase non-table related triggers (i.e. App CRUD, Pages CRUD, users, user groups)?

Will there be conditional branching?

    Thanks for joining us, Sam! The Pipelines is already in Early Access. In case you want to sign up please submit your request at https://www.quickbase.com/earlyaccess . We do plan to deliver the product as generally available (GA) in Q1

    As for the other questions
    • There is going to be no way to modify your pipelines without the visual UI. That said, you will have the capability to export the YAML description of the pipeline and modify it in the developer IDE.
    • Pipelines will not be accessible via API in the near feature. I would love to learn about the use cases where you might need that capability.
    • Absolutely! Our generic webhook channel will allow you to trigger your pipelines externally as well as will give you the capability to make calls to external systems using their APIs.

      "There is going to be no way to modify your pipelines without the visual UI. That said, you will have the capability to export the YAML description of the pipeline and modify it in the developer IDE."
      What Developer IDE?

      "Pipelines will not be accessible via API in the near feature. I would love to learn about the use cases where you might need that capability."
      At the moment? None, but I could see if Pipelines could be uploaded/modified via API calls you could integrate them with other data management tools.
