Webhooks are faster and easier to setup than Pipelines
When writing a Webhook, the process looks like this. Open the Webhook, write the Webhook, test the Webhook. Takes no time and little effort.
With Pipelines users have to log on to a service account in incognito mode. Then go through an arduous process of waiting for drop down lists to load and dragging little images around on a screen, etc etc... it's too many layers of abstraction for anyone who knows how to write a Webhook.
Until the Pipelines process is as fast or faster than the Webhooks process, there is little to no value in using Pipelines.
Webhooks still have great value and it is a mistake to remove them from the rich feature set Quickbase has to offer.
