5 years agoI have asked various people at QuickBase and they say it is not possible. I also tried the same thing as you did to try to jam in a URL into a pipeline and every time it failed on authentication. The problem is that the URL is not a proper API (?a=sendsubscription&id=xx)
A suggestion might be to have a Helper table with a Dummy record (Record ID# = 1) which contains an embedded report of the contents of the subscription. That report link field would match the 1 of the Record ID# to a formula 1 on the detail records.
And you can have a pipeline run several times per day and it will update a date time field on that dummy record to be the current date and time. That within trigger a notification. You would have to contrive the notification recipients to be the recipients that you wanted the subscription report to go to.

- DavidMinker5 years agoQrew TraineeThanks, Mark - I understand your approach, but agree that it's super-contrived and was really hoping for a more straightforward way to accomplish this. I can't imagine this is an infrequent request / need from the community at large and don't fully understand how there isn't a sanctioned way to meet this need.
