Hi Pipelines Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to attend the 1pm EST session of the Pipelines Qrew yesterday. Here’s what we discussed: API Fundamentals & Postman Testing Mike Frischmann walked through how to set up and test APIs in Quickbase using Postman, focusing on foundational concepts for new and intermediate users. He explained how to authenticate using API keys, review API documentation, and test both GET (listing templates) and POST (creating PDFs) requests with the Craft My PDF API. Mike emphasized using Postman to troubleshoot and validate API calls before moving them into Quickbase Pipelines. This was an eye-opener for many! Automating PDF Ticket Generation & Upload Mike demonstrated how to automate the creation and upload of PDF tickets for Quickbase records. He showed how to trigger a pipeline when a record is updated, pass Quickbase data into the Craft My PDF API, and automatically upload the resulting PDF back into the correct Quickbase record. The demo included mapping dynamic fields from Quickbase, building the JSON payload, and handling the API response to store the PDF. Translating Postman Workflows into Pipelines After validating API calls in Postman, Mike showed how to replicate the workflow in Quickbase Pipelines. He covered setting up triggers, using the JSON handler, mapping variables, and configuring the “iterate over JSON records” step to process multiple responses. Many folks commented how they appreciated Mike’s way of walking through each step, not getting deterred when things didn’t work, and working through the solution by using Postman and Quickbase to figure out errors, and rerunning Pipelines until it worked in his live demo. It was well-paced and easy to follow. These are some great best practices for making the process repeatable and scalable for various API use cases. Missed the meeting? Here’s the recording! I highly recommend giving it a listen-through and trying out the resources he recommended. Mike uses most of the hour, but it’s filled with valuable information and step-by-step guidance along the way. Pipelines Raffle Entry: We have a raffle drawing for those who listen to the recording or attended the meeting. You can enter by logging into the Qrew Discussion site and share what you learned from Mike’s session, share an additional useful tip, or ask a question about what you watched to the group.

Agenda for next Pipelines Qrew Meet Up Wednesday June 25 th at 12pm: We are back to our regularly schedule meet up time next month and Wes McAda from Versar Inc. will be doing an Empower encore presentation with a new Pipelines twist for his EOTI app. I already have a fun raffle idea that I’m looking forward to deploying alongside Wes’s presentation.

Volunteer speakers will receive a Qrew Champions speaker badge and an incentive as a token of thanks. Your Quickbase skills + experience applying it to your use case = Great value for the Quickbase Qrew community. Click here to book a meeting with Esther LaVielle to be considered. Thank you and I look forward to connecting with you soon!April Pipelines Qrew Meet Up Recap & the Agenda for May
Hello Pipelines Qrew! Thanks to everyone who joined our recent Pipelines Qrew meetup on Wednesday! Here's a quick recap what we discussed: Smarter, Faster Pipelines Boryana Atanasova and Georgi Peev reintroduced powerful enhancements to Pipelines that were announced at Empower 2025, including sub-second triggers for small workflows and a new Bulk Trigger (available in beta soon) that processes multiple records sequentially. The Pipelines Product team is rolling out new channels for OpenAI, Bluebeam, Procore, and NetSuite, plus an AI Actions channel and document processing connector to extract structured data from files directly into Quickbase. Real-World Use Case: External API Parsing Savin Kumar from Accenture highlighted how he uses Pipelines to bring in data from multiple external APIs to create interactive reports—all within Quickbase. Tools like Jinja templates and our API docs made it seamless. Some folks were impressed but also intimidated with where to learn JSON and Jinja expressions. I know I am! Often, it’s all about having a space you can test our jinja codes (we recommend using your sandbox, versioning feature, or builder account) and copy/paste to see what works as you build and update your Pipelines. Here are some resources shared from the Qrew that can help: Jinja Pallet Project Intro to JSON vis W3Schools Become a Jinja Ninja – Quickbase Course Missed the meeting? No worries!

And if we have extra time, I’d like to do a working session on using AI to build Pipelines. Thank you and have a good day!New update on Automations and and more as well as improvements to Pipelines

Hello Pipelines Qrew, Thank you to all who were able to attend the Pipelines Qrew Meet Up on Wednesday. Here’s what we discussed: James Malone and Matthew Tillinghast from Juiced Technologies shared a pipeline solution that entailed creating a master app that consolidates all the timecard records, allowing for better data management and reporting for their customer. James went through details of the pipeline process, including handling record creation, updates, and deletions. He discussed the challenges they faced, such as dealing with unique field constraints, mapping field names across different applications, as well a certain error message. James used placeholder parameters in the pipeline call definitions to easily accommodate new data requirements from different source apps and found callable pipelines to be very helpful in making this solution scalable across the 25 source apps. We had lots of comments and great questions that were addressed in the meeting. Missed the meeting? Here’s the link to the recording. Our next Pipelines Qrew Meet Up will be on Wednesday April 16 th at 12pm EST. The agenda is nearly finalized. I’m hoping the Pipelines product team will be available to answer questions about new features that will officially go live at Empower and include a customer use case from our friends from Accenture. Thank you and have a great weekend! Best regards,January 2024 Pipelines Qrew Meet Up Recap
