Pipeline Bulk Record question

Question

I've migrated most of the simple automations to pipelines and have started on the more complex automations.&nbsp; The first ones I started with are replacing the table to table import automations.&nbsp; I started with the documentation provided by Quickbase in the help section, but wasn't sure what to enter in the Headers section for the Name and Values fields for the Make a Request step.&nbsp; Then I looked at this post, Building Table-to-Table (T2T) Imports using Pipelines and saw it did not include the step for Make a Request.&nbsp; I deleted the step and the pipeline worked as needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have two questions, first, do I need the Make a Request step since it worked as needed without that step.&nbsp; Second, What values should go in the Name and Values fields of the Make a Request step?Thank you in advance.------------------------------Paul Peterson------------------------------

There are two methods.&nbsp; If you already have the T2T import built, then the easiest way is to "Make Request".The API call&nbsp; looks like thishttps://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/xxxxx?a=API_RunImport&amp;id=11Method = POSTThe xxxx is the target table, the 11 is the ID of the import visible in the URL when you edit the import&nbsp;Otherwise the no code method is to create the bulk upsert, do the search and then add a row for every search result and then commit the upsert.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Thanks Mark,

Some of the pipelines I need to create are for automations that run a T2T import, others are just writing from one table to another. Your answer covers both situations!

Thank you!
