I just have to share something, not a question on this one....  I had to use Pipelines yesterday for the first time to build an integration with Mailchimp and it was incredible.  We needed to issue a COVID-19 mass email and our old way of creating a mailchimp distribution was a disaster.  Employees sending in spreadsheets iwth bad data etc.  We have a contact database in QuickBase.  I created a pipeline to load all existing contacts into mail chimp in about 2 minutes, boom all done running within a few minutes later.

I created a separate pipeline to add all future newly created contacts right into mailchimp.  

Just an amazing tool so really wanted to share.  We dont use too many other 3rd party software pieces I could see connecting it too but this one was really fantastic.

    Ivan,

    That is positive news.   

    Do you have anything to prune the lists as well?  This is one of the use cases that I have been hoping to test at a client when Pipeline becomes widely available.   At our clients I always want to make sure that all contacts are properly statused.  I have got a non profit with "Members"  They are using Constant Contact and the email lists are a disaster.  I want to build a Members list in Constant Contact that grows and shrinks based on the status of the records in the Members table.

    Any sense yet that this will be easy?

    Ivan, thank you for posting your positive note on Pipelines.  I am a very novice Quickbase user and also want to attempt to use the Pipeline Feature to integrate Quickbase data to Mailchimp, but when I attempt to create a Pipeline, Mailchimp appears as a disconnected channel, and I have no idea how to turn it on, or connect it?  Quickbase says to have Admin turn it on.... I'm the Admin on our account.

    Any note or tip is appreciated.
