Hi Stephen,
Thank you for sharing your technique for using the webhooks channel to kick off the process. I also just wanted to let you and others looking at Pipelines and support for Table to Table imports know that we still have plans to extend Pipelines and the automation migration tool to cover the use case of Table to Table imports in the next few months. The plan would be to create a way for Pipelines to call on existing Table to Table imports much like the webhook you are using but all in the Quickbase channel in Pipelines. We don't have a specific release targeted yet but the goal is for Q4 of 2021 for the migration tool and Pipelines so if there are automations that call table to table imports that you aren't able to easily transition today that is something we are working on.

I'm interested in this feature as well; I tried Stephen's suggestion but I get a bad request error when the pipeline runs.

I do this all the time. Please post your setup for the Pipeline step.
Here are my cheat notes. The URL is this and then Method is POST.
https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/xxxxxxxxxx?a=API_RunImport&id=11
Method = POST
nothing else is required unless you need an app token.

------------------------------- As always, many thanks Mark - I'm not sure what I was doing wrong initially, but I retyped the url as you suggested and it worked!
