Syntax Guide for Beginners

I have very little coding experience but I want to learn how to create buttons in my application.

Where can I find resources for beignners that explain elements and syntax requirements for writing formulas, such as API calls, in Quick Base?

  • Here are some ideas

    Dowload the App from the exchange called URL Formulas for dummies

    Download Kirk Tracy's  app called Magic Buttons and download a fresh copy every 3months or so to get his latest updates.

  • Hi Howard,

    The Magic buttons app Mark links is a great reference for getting started looking at the options for creating custom buttons. If you are interested in the Quick Base API overall I would also recommend our API Reference Guide that you can find here:
