Introducing Pipelines - Webinar Q&A

  • 1.  Introducing Pipelines - Webinar Q&A

    Edited by Evan Martinez 02-07-2020 09:56
    Many organizations are finding that the need for innovative processes and automated work is continuously growing while even the most flexible tools are no longer fast enough when they don't work together. At the same time businesses are struggling more than ever to find resources to help them develop the custom integrations and automations they're missing.

    With our brand-new Pipelines technology, Quick Base is introducing capabilities that empower builders of all backgrounds to automate work across integrated systems. 

    In case you didn't have a chance to join us, you can still get a great introduction to Pipelines by watching the recording here!  This thread is dedicated to questions that we didn't get a chance to cover during the webinar. Post your questions here and our Pipelines team will do the best to answer your questions. We want to know what you are curious about and cannot wait to bring Pipelines to you.

    • What happens to our automations in current systems?
    • Will we need to rebuild and move automations into the pipelines?

    Ditto to what Jessica is asking. I have one Application that I have 100 Automations, plus Actions in. Will these still be kept?

    Also, are we able to connect to SAP?

    Thank you for the question, Jessica! As I mentioned in the webinar, there is no immediate impact to your Automations. We are going to continue supporting the Automation capability for the near future. We'll be communicating well in advance of any changes to our existing Quick Base features.

    That said, as I mentioned in the call, we are going to focus a big part of our investment in automation and integration space on Pipelines, where you'll benefit from the latest and most powerful capabilities that we are developing.

    Hi Rachel, thanks for your question!  I'm excited to say that we do plan to have our Zendesk integration channel available by the time Pipelines launches.  As always our roadmap is subject to change, however we are planning to continuously build and add new integration channels throughout 2020 and beyond.

    You can also check this page anytime you'd like to see the list of currently available and supported integration channels.

    Does Pipelines support...
    • Conditional steps. I.e. a condition is true, do this; if not, do that.
    • Can functions be applied to data fields? That is, instead of inputting the current date/time into a data field, instead add 2 hours to current time and input that.
    Thanks

    Is there a way to connect to an arbitrary REST API endpoint, such as one exposed by my company for use by our customers and integration partners?  This would be something that you would not have a connector for.

    Posted 02-05-2020 16:20
    Hi Jim, that's a great question!  You can absolutely use Pipelines to connect with REST API endpoints beyond our pre-built integration channels, including the one your company exposes for customers and integration partners.  Our "Webhooks" channel allows you to not only make a call to that endpoint, but also to consume and utilize the API response.

    Can we write our own custom API calls within a pipeline? IE - integrations that aren't included by default within pipelines.

    Can we trigger a pipeline with an API call? So we call a specific endpoint that corresponds to a pipeline and we provide data as input parameters that can be used within the pipeline?

    Hi Austin, that's a great question!  You can absolutely do that, our "Webhooks" channel allows you to make a call to an external API call, and can also be used for inbound API requests that you'd like to use to trigger a Pipeline.

    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.

    Hi Rhett, that's a great question!  Yes, our "Webhooks" channel will allow you to trigger a Pipeline using an API call, and the same channel should allow you to interface with custom web services as long as there is an API endpoint.

    We do not currently have plans to support the development of new 'Channels' by third parties, but we will be continuously building and adding new first party integration channels throughout 2020 and beyond.

  • 36.  RE: Introducing Pipelines - Webinar Q&A

    Posted 02-05-2020 16:44
    Great question, Gilbert! Depending on the system we are handling file attachments by using pointers to the endpoints where the file is stored. In other words, we just pass the URL of the files with the payload and have the next system in your workflow download them using that URL.

    We're trying to use Pipelines to connect a WebHook to add records into QuickBase. It's working for the normal data types (Dates, Text, Checkboxes, etc.) but the File Attachment fields aren't listed in QuickBase connector. How can we access the File Attachments to attach a file to them? Do we need to change these to URL types?

    Great questions, John! see my comments below.
    • You should be able to automate table to table import, in fact, I've seen some of our Early Access customers do that. 
    • The limit you are referring to is a limit of Quick Base applications that both Automations and Pipelines must adhere to. 
    • Currently sorting in the source window is not available, but that might be a great idea for our User Voice: https://quickbase.uservoice.com
    • I don't see any reason why not. Can't wait to see what you'll build with this new feature!
    Hope I was able to answer your questions.

    Posted 02-05-2020 16:13
    How will the modified timestamp fields for QB records produced/modified by this feature (i.e. Last Modified By, Record Owner, etc.) be handled when utilizing pipeline actions?  Will they always use the pipeline creator's username like how automations currently work, or will it be possible to define that value in the pipeline setup either through use of a user field or some hard-coded value (similar to how connected tables use "Connected Data Service" as the Record Owner).

    With the potential of heavy record manipulation with pipelines, I'd prefer not to have my name plastered over all of our QB records when I am not actually making these record additions/edits myself.

    Hi Jonathan, that's a great question!  When records are produced/modified in Quick Base by Pipelines, the built-in fields will not be available to modify.  That means that the "Date Created" and "Date Modified" fields will automatically reflect the Date/Time that the Pipeline ran.  The "Record Owner" and "Last Modified By" fields will also be assigned based on the user token, meaning that your name will be reflected in the scenario you described.

    That said, you can certainly leverage any editable user field, and you can even use that to capture the value from the "Last Modified By" field in your trigger.  That would allow you to capture the name of the user who actually took the action that caused the Pipeline to run.

    During the webinar, I was under the impression there will be a ODBC (e.g. MySQL) "Channel."

    Is that the case?

    If so, I am curious about bi-directional data flow and triggers between MySQL and Quick Base​. That would be a game changer!

    My only problem was I did not create a User Token before I starting building the Pipeline and that confused the process.

    Although you've made it clear that Automations are not going away, is there a general sense that Pipelines will eventually replace Automations?  When Automations were introduced, it was clear that Actions would not be going away, but certainly Automations seemed to be taking the place of Actions.  I quickly transitioned my Actions into Automations, as Automations were more intuitive and powerful for what I was trying to do. I'm curious if the general sense (or hope) is that with the increased capability of Pipelines, and that you can recreate Automations but add additional capabilities, do you foresee most people moving from Automations to Pipelines to implement the trigger/action workflow?


  • 51.  RE: Introducing Pipelines - Webinar Q&A

    Posted 02-09-2020 22:05
    The webinar was great! I've also had a chance to use Pipelines a bit in Early Access 🙌

    I'm recreating a Webhook I have that sends notifications to a Slack channel.

    I can duplicate just about everything except the use of field prefixes.

    For example, I have a JSON webhook with the following:
    From `[Old.Status]` to `[New.Status]`


    I tried this, but the prefix didn't work:

    From `{{a.old.status}}` to `{{a.status}}`


    So, my question is... Is it possible to use field prefixes in Pipelines, and if so, how?

    1. Will Pipelines enable adding a new record to Quickbase to create a corresponding new record in Quickbooks in real time and vice versa?
    2. In the demonstration I only saw new records being created.  Does Pipelines have the ability to edit and delete records in Quickbase and corresponding systems?
    3. I read in the thread that Automations "will be supported in the near future".  Does Pipelines replace Automations and, if so, will the automations we've created be ported to Pipelines automatically and without requiring changes?

    Thank you.

    I'm not a Quick Base staffer but I've been on a few calls and my impression is that when it comes to as competition for Product Development resources between Webhooks, Actions,  Automations, and Cloud Pipes, the latter is getting 100% of the relative development effort at this time.

    Quick Base has a pretty good track record of not breaking existing functionality, so if they did decide to retire and of Webhooks, Actions or Automations, they would need to find a way to do that without hurting the existing functionality that we all used in good faith with the respective tools that were available at the time.  So I think right now they are focused on making Cloud Pipes amazing, then the later they will get around to even a decision of what the future is for the older tools, and then how to implement that decision in a way that won't hurt users.

    Are pipelines triggered by webhooks? 

    Also, is it foreseeable that we'll be able to trigger a Pipeline from a Formula/URL button within Quickbase?  What comes to mind is a button fires off a Pipeline, and the user is shown a pop-up form (like a jQuery Dialog) with loading animation (and perhaps custom text).. when the Pipeline is finished, the pop-up displays a confirmation, and the user's page reloads.  

    ^This would allow us to migrate much of what we do with custom Javascript into native Quickbase, which is our end-goal.

    You can certainly trigger with a formula URL button by just having the button toggle a checkbox field.  As for a dialogue box, well that may be your real question.

    Let me ask it a different way for Rhett...

    (1) Today an Automation is triggered by a QB created/stored/somewhat-hidden Webhook that packages up every field in the record (whether needed or not for the Actions) and ships it off to the Automation engine for processing.   Are Pipelines essentially using the same methodology?  or is it a tighter integration?

    (2) And Mark, I'm with you... I believe Rhett is really wanting to know if a Dialogue box could kick off a Pipeline and then perform an Action after the Pipeline is finished running.... providing a path away from Javascript / IOL solutions.  High level use case:
     a.  User clicks on Pipeline trigger button (new field type?)
     b.  QB App presents dialogue box with progress bar / spinning wheel / etc
     c.  App triggers appropriate endpoint Pipeline configured in the QB PIpeline trigger field
     d.  Pipeline Success = dialogue box shows "Success" and then performs an action (refresh page / redirect / etc)... possibly configurable returned data payload so it can be utilized in the Action
     e.  Alternately, Pipeline Failure... display the error to the end user

    Pipelines is super exciting and I think a game changer in making multiple tools into one to make management easier. 
    I can't wait to get access to try this out and see all of the amazing things we can do. Jealous of all the members in here that are already on early access.

    Will there be a Snowflake channel available in Q1?  If not, is it on the roadmap?

    I'm excited to see the new capabilities!

    Will the webhooks channel support using variables in message headers? We need header-based authentication with rolling auth keys in order to integrate with some of our key systems, which has prevented us from using the current built-in webhook functionality much.

    Will there be pipelines for exchanging data between web stores?  Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy?

    I know a number of sellers that would love to be able to keep large inventory data with pics
    offline and move them in and out of the main sites with a click of a button.

    Hello:
    We use Aptean Intuitive ERP and we would like to be able to pull data from our ERP system directly into a table in QuickBase. Will there be an ODBC connection released in Pipelines? If so, do you have an anticipated date?
    Thanks

    The link here has the current channels which will be supported at the official GA (General Availability) launch date.
    https://pipelines.quickbase.com/channels

    My understanding is that they plan to enable that second button soon so we can all see the next wave of channels which are in development.  (Right now it's blank, but in fact they are hard at work on the next wave of channels, just not published to that website yet).

    I'm not a Quick Base staffer so I don't have specific information on an OBDC connection timeline, but I can say that they realize that this would be highly desirable.

    Evan,

    The link in your post

     watching the recording here

    does not go to a video.  It takes you to the registration page for the webinar.

    Hi the link to watching the recording doesn't seem to be working, it takes me to a webinar registration page, is this correct?  Many thanks.

    I was wondering that as well. If you fill in your contact info on that form, it will give you access to the recorded webinar (about 45 minutes in length). They should probably update that landing page to let us all know that.
