March 2026 Pipelines Qrew Meetup Recap: Breakout Sessions
Hi Pipelines Qrew! Thank you all who were able to join our recent Pipelines Qrew Meetup Breakout sessions in March. We were excited to try a new format, with three rounds of breakout room presentations that gave attendees the chance to rotate through topics and pick up practical tips for building smarter automations with Quickbase Pipelines. Here’s a recap of each of the breakout rooms: Daniel Callahan presented Pipelines Essentials: defaults, data types, and date-time formatting. He walked through key best practices for building reliable pipelines, including how to handle blank or missing values, avoid common type mismatch issues, and format dates and times correctly in Quickbase. Kokila Vijayasree shared Unified audit logging with scheduled and manual pipeline triggers. Her session showed how teams can simplify audit logging across multiple fields with a single pipeline, while also supporting both scheduled and on-demand runs in a more scalable and manageable way. Andrew Carbejal-Everts presented AI Pipelines for invoice processing into line items. He demonstrated how Quickbase AI and Pipelines can help extract invoice data and turn it into structured line items, helping reduce manual work and streamline business processes. Missed the meeting? Here’s the recording of all three sessions in one video Pipelines essentials: defaults, data types, and date-time formatting: 0:05 Unified audit logging with scheduled and manual pipeline triggers: 16:52 AI Pipelines for invoice processing into line items: 34:53 We heard great feedback on the rotating breakout room format, and we were glad attendees had the opportunity to explore multiple topics and see a variety of practical Quickbase use cases in action. We also got new ideas to consider and will bring back breakout session in June. Stay tuned for more details! Thank you again to Daniel, Kokila, and Andrew for sharing their expertise, and to everyone who joined us for the session.New update on Automations and and more as well as improvements to Pipelines

Hello Pipelines Qrew, Thank you to all who were able to attend the Pipelines Qrew Meet Up on Wednesday. Here’s what we discussed: James Malone and Matthew Tillinghast from Juiced Technologies shared a pipeline solution that entailed creating a master app that consolidates all the timecard records, allowing for better data management and reporting for their customer. James went through details of the pipeline process, including handling record creation, updates, and deletions. He discussed the challenges they faced, such as dealing with unique field constraints, mapping field names across different applications, as well a certain error message. James used placeholder parameters in the pipeline call definitions to easily accommodate new data requirements from different source apps and found callable pipelines to be very helpful in making this solution scalable across the 25 source apps. We had lots of comments and great questions that were addressed in the meeting. Missed the meeting? Here’s the link to the recording. Our next Pipelines Qrew Meet Up will be on Wednesday April 16 th at 12pm EST. The agenda is nearly finalized. I’m hoping the Pipelines product team will be available to answer questions about new features that will officially go live at Empower and include a customer use case from our friends from Accenture. Thank you and have a great weekend! Best regards,Pipelines Qrew Meet Up Oct 18th - What Does This Qrew Want to Do?
Hey Everyone, For those of you who attended the August 28th Pipelines meetup, some of this will be a repeat. Quickbase is hosting a virtual end user conference in October. We're calling it EmpowerPro. On day 4, we'll have a Pipelines Qrew Meetup. What are some ideas for what we can do with our hour together on October 18th? Here are some ideas that were shared in the chat of the Aug 28th call: Pipelines and Versioning, Version Control, ALM, Sandboxes, etc Service Accounts, how to use them, what to do about transitioning existing pipelines ownership over to Service Accounts Pipelines Error Messages: What Do They Mean, What Should I Do When I See Them? There may be others I've missed but these appear to be the top three categories of what people are wanting more of. What do we think? Let's also keep in mind that for many individuals, the October Pipelines Meet Up will be their first time interacting with this Qrew. I personally like the idea of breaking down different error messages since if I were an end user that would be super frustrating to deal with. But all three of these are valuable topics that I'm sure would make for a meaningful meet up. Share your thoughts, please. I want this session to be designed based off feedback from The Qrew.
