In the proverbial nutshell, I have a table with project data and would like to create a new record in a related table but I want to make sure that there is not currently a record in the second table with that same project number. A supporting team needs to examine some of the project data and verify the order is ready to proceed. I have created automations and webhooks to create a new record or update an existing record if a record is created or modified. But before pipelines I couldn't see a way to conditionally create a new record. My question is more of an is it possible type rather than how to do it.

- PaulPeterson15 years agoQrew Assistant CaptainThis is more of an explorative question than procedural. I really haven't taken this beyond the is it possible phase and that is all I am asking. Can this be done?

If the key field of the other table is, or can be Project #, then it's easy to do. If the key field needs to be a different field, then it still can be done, but a bit more complicated. It will not require Pipelines to solve this.

Ideally, I would like to have the key field in the second table the project number, but I have a feeling the key in the destination table will either be a ticket number or the record ID.
How would you suggest tackling this?
