Robin, the short answer is that right today its not easy.  If you want to get a contact from me for some people who know how to do this, contact me off line and I can make a recommendation.  Hopefully Quick Base will improve Pipelines to dumb this down for the rest of us who are not coders and want to stay with native Quick Base.
