Coming soon: a Jinja Library with commonly used complex expressions Don't know what the new Pipelines Designer is? Check out more information about Pipelines Designer here Our product team has been hard at work addressing the builder experience for Pipelines which historically has been a more advanced part of the product. We are calling it the new Pipelines Designer and it has been developed based on feedback from our group members to significantly improve the experience of building and managing Pipelines. The latest updates in Pipelines Designer bring a range of new features, including an infinite canvas workspace, an enhanced step configuration process, the ability to rearrange steps using drag-and-drop, a new code editor, a step reference validator, and numerous other additions. Right now the new Pipelines Designer is in beta. If a customer wants to join the beta before it's available in Sept you can email Edi at EEvastatiev@quickbase.com We had a great discussion where Edi collected feedback on why customers are not currently using the Pipelines Wizard to build. We then went into breakout rooms with 2 Quickbase experts in each room where customers could ask any Pipelines question they wanted! Attached is the slides from the meeting.

Sharepoint pipeline channel add list item issue
Hi all, Great meeting the other day, hearing everyone talking and on the chat, I'm hoping there are some real experts here as I'm having some trouble with the sharepoint channel in pipelines. I'm trying to create a new sharepoint list item when a record is created with a pipeline. Right now, it works fine to create the item, using some fields. However, if I try to send any data to a Hyperlink field in sharepoint the api request to sharepoint fails. Also, if I send email address to a person field in sharepoint it doesn't error but also it doesn't get filled out. I know in a normal api request to sharepoint the hyperlink field is special in that it wants a url and link text, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do something special in pipelines to get it to work. ------------------------------ Greg Vasquez ------------------------------
Great Meeting Today
I really enjoyed hearing from the product team. As a customer, I am impressed at how much they engage customer feedback. I also loved getting inspired by the customer demo. I have been wanting to do the same thing but I have been intimidated by the Outlook channel. Our system admins are not very keen on letting Quickbase access a mailbox directly, so I need to understand more about how that channel works before I can approach them. I'd love to hear your experiences with the Outlook Channel. ------------------------------ Tammie King ------------------------------
