April Pipelines Qrew Meet Up Recap & the Agenda for May
Hello Pipelines Qrew!
Thanks to everyone who joined our recent Pipelines Qrew meetup on Wednesday! Here's a quick recap what we discussed:
- Smarter, Faster Pipelines
Boryana Atanasova and Georgi Peev reintroduced powerful enhancements to Pipelines that were announced at Empower 2025, including sub-second triggers for small workflows and a new Bulk Trigger (available in beta soon) that processes multiple records sequentially. The Pipelines Product team is rolling out new channels for OpenAI, Bluebeam, Procore, and NetSuite, plus an AI Actions channel and document processing connector to extract structured data from files directly into Quickbase. - Real-World Use Case: External API Parsing
Savin Kumar from Accenture highlighted how he uses Pipelines to bring in data from multiple external APIs to create interactive reports—all within Quickbase. Tools like Jinja templates and our API docs made it seamless. Some folks were impressed but also intimidated with where to learn JSON and Jinja expressions. I know I am! Often, it’s all about having a space you can test our jinja codes (we recommend using your sandbox, versioning feature, or builder account) and copy/paste to see what works as you build and update your Pipelines. - Here are some resources shared from the Qrew that can help:

At our next Pipelines Qrew Meet up on May 14th 2025, Wes McAda will do an enhanced encore presentation of his Empower 2025 session on using Pipelines on an everyone-on-the-internet App that includes time-bound secure Links with cascading permissions and added security features for temporarily staging documents. And if we have extra time, I’d like to do a working session on using AI to build Pipelines.
Thank you and have a good day!
