Bulk Record Sets in Pipelines

Question

I would like to build a pipeline using the Bulk Record feature. My scenario is similar to the example here https://help.quickbase.com/pipelines/about_bulk_record%20sets.html?Highlight=bulk. I am not clear on the "Make Request" Step. Wondering if I can get additional details or if there a video available on this feature?

Can you explain what you are trying to do? &nbsp;Maybe you don't need that step.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

I have a "Project Tag" Parent Table allowing users to Group projects as needed. I would like to create a new record in a Request table for each of these Child projects and thought I could use the Bulk Record set feature for this.

Would this be running on a schedule or on a trigger? If on a trigger and they are just getting added one by one then you don't need to use a bulk record set.

If the trigger is some mass operation line an import or a grid edit, then a bulk import would be better to use. But I don't think you need to use the Make Request Step.

This is on a Trigger from the "Project Tag" table.&nbsp; So thought the Bulk Record Set would essentially perform the "loop" function for me?&nbsp; Never used it before.------------------------------Christine White------------------------------

If the trigger is on a parent record and you want to trigger a search of &nbsp;children and create records for each child record returned in the search then yes a bulk record upsert would be perfect for your needs.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
