Pipeline to create a record when a new pipeline is created

Hello all!

We have a Wiki app that tracks all pipelines in our realm (along with other items regarding our apps). The process is for whomever created the pipeline to create a new record to enter details about the pipeline (pipelineID, name, description, etc.). The problem is that not all our builders remember this process. Someone on my team asked if we could create a pipeline that enters at least a placeholder record in the Wiki app with some details of the pipeline. I thought it was a great out of box idea but don't know if it's possible. Would love any ideas/insight any of you can provide.

    Hi Julie,

    While I think you could achieve what you want to do with Pipelines, I don't think it is necessary because you can use the QuickBase Audit log to monitor for Pipeline Created events. 

    API Get Audit Logs can be used to retrieve the logs, then you would just have to filter them for the events. From there you could create records in your Wiki app by extending your solution to use API Add Record.
