I would say a decent amount of effort. The thing about Quickbase is it does not allow you to see the payload from an API response. So you need to have a server, or a middleman software to manipulate responses between Quickbase and priority ERP.
The things that are simple that Quickbase can do. You can use a webhook to hit an endpoint using XML or JSON to send data. (you will not get response, EX: if your first step in the API is to receive an auth token)
You can allow a 3rd party to post into your APP with a userToken/appToken and field_ID numbers and your Quickbase domain URL.

- MichaelHorwitz7 years agoQrew TraineeThanks. Do you know of any apps that accomplish something like this already built? Maybe they can get us halfway there.
- JohnRogers37 years agoQrew TraineeI use Zapier for all of my API integrations I have setup with QuickBase right now. Very simple and easy to use.
- MichaelHorwitz7 years agoQrew TraineeWhy is zapier superior to just using the native quickbase webhooks?
- JohnRogers37 years agoQrew TraineeBecause there are very few limitations that Dan knows better than I, that allow responses through URL response. Without that, you cannot access a payload that shows a response to filter without a middleman (Zapier or your own server).
Quickbase Webhook will take an action and send data based on the action.
Most APIs require an auth step, usually known as a Bearer token response, to resend the API with an authorized action.
The native Quickbase webhook cannot receive the response to .parse() to place into a bearer token. So Zapier handles this.
