Single pipeline trigger on excel import

I am working on creating a pipeline that I would like to trigger and run only one time when I import a large Excel sheet into quickbase. Is this possible?

All of my attempts so far have triggered the pipeline to execute multiple times, as the import creates multiple new records.

Hi Andrew,

I have a similar use case in my App.

What we ended up doing was created a new table that the file to import is added as a new record, which then triggers a pipeline based on the record creation for that table.

The pipeline then uploads the file and does a few other things to the data.

I believe that via pipelines you can only import CSVs, but this could be a good option for you.
