Hi
Glad to hear you've got a solution that works now.
An alternative approach you could use is the upsert functionality in the newerJSON API

For bulk record upserts outside of Quickbase, in the past I've used the excellent Qunect ODBC Connector which has upsert capability.

David, thank you posting that the Restful API's can be initiated with a webhook. Do you also have the syntax and setup to initiate them from a Pipeline?

------------------------------- Hi Mark,
Whilst I've played with pipelines, so far we've not become good friends.

The sort of stuff which pipelines ought to excel in, I tend to use Zapier for - primarily because of the maturity of it's UX / error handling (and I have the Zapier account anyway for other things and know the interface inside out).

If I get a chance or a need I will play with Pipelines to see if I can guess into the setup syntax.
