Records, Pipelines, and Callable Pipelines clarification
Hello! I am a new user, and I'm looking for some clarifications on some of the specifics about how records, pipelines, and the callable pipelines action relate. I have a complex pipeline trigger by a user record creation. The pipeline runs through a substantial decision tree and updates records and sends notifications depending on the path through the decision tree the record takes. However, I have run out of actions and need to set up a callable pipeline to do some record validation (instead of adding those steps into the main pipeline). So, I am working on setting up the callable pipeline, but I want to make sure that the pipelines are only updating a given record, and not ALL records. - Update: before you read the next part of the post, consider that I may be overthinking this whole thing and I just need to pass through the record ID(s) for the records I want my called pipeline to validate. - I assume that when a pipeline runs with the "record created" trigger that the pipeline will run only with relation to a given record; i.e. is the context of the pipeline run a single record? Is that correct, or does it evaluate the whole table of records? Or do I need to set a record limit on the trigger? When I use a callable pipeline, does the calling pipeline maintain the context of the call; i.e. for a single or batch of records? Depending on that answer, does the pipeline evaluate each of those records individually, or does it evaluate the entire table with respect to the called field(s)? For example, here are my two actions. I thought I had them set up correctly, but I can't call the fields from the calling pipeline in the called pipeline (third screenshot). Update: this may be because neither of the pipelines are turned on, and I may be using Jinja expressions where I should instead be using aliases which I can set to the calling pipeline's fields (see this video). Do I need to bother with passing the record IDs ("a.id"), or are those "implicit"? Call action: Called trigger: Not finding called fields: BUT let's assume that I get these calls to work. Will the changes to the records made in the calling pipeline have been written to the table when the called pipeline is called? Because that pipeline will need to do evaluations based on the records' data, which is dependent on the actions in the calling pipeline! Thanks for all of your help!
Date / Field stamp through pipeline
I have a step in my pipeline that creates line items and inserts required data in that line item. The completion status of this line item is dependent on the field completed date. How do i include the completed date in the step so that when the data is added so that the line item is complete
Pipeline formula for user names
I need a pipeline to populate a field in a new record with the names from another field. Many users did not update their profile with a ‘Screen Name’ so I can’t use that field in the pipeline. I am having trouble getting it to populate using the First and Last Names. What formula can I use in Pipelines to create a list of multiple names? I used this field to create a text field and this is what is returned: Using this text field is not ideal as Barb does not have a screen name so it defaults to her email address. If there are several users, this field will be harder to read with emails being used. I want the pipeline to take the Fundraisers Assigned values and populate like this – preferably comma separated but semi-colon is fine too. Example: Amy Gosz, Barbara Burns I can get the First Name and Last Name to combine but then it only returns one of the names. How do I write the formula to not only combine the First Name and Last Name, but also list the multiple users names? I need all names (can be several) that appear in the Fundraisers Assigned field to populate to the new field.
Do Bulk Records Pipelines Make Simultaneous Updates?
When bulk records are handled in a pipeline, are all of the applicable records updated simultaneously? Will they have the same modified date and time? I have notifications setup to be triggered when a date field is updated. I have a formula checkbox field used to identify the most recent record associated with an email address field value. The most recent record may not be the one that gets updated along with other records with the same email address field value. I don't want the email notification being sent before other associated records are updated. I am looking at using Bulk Record steps to reduce the number of pipeline steps I am currently using as well as handle everythingmore efficiently. I just need to know if I would be safe having the date field updated on the most recent record with the other potential changes without worrying about the email being triggered before all applicable updates are made. Thank you, in advance for any input. Let me know if I need to provide a visual and/or more clarification on what I am looking to accomplish.problem populating relationship field from import
In a new QB app we created, we have a table "Phishing Attempts" where we want to create records by importing a spreadsheet. We also have a table "Targeted Users" which has employee info such as Employee ID, email, position, etc. Phishing Attempts table has a relationship with Targeted Users table, where we have the Employee ID field from Targeted Users included in the Phishing Attempts record form along with lookup fields that are automatically pulled from Targeted Users table. The spreadsheet we want to import to create new records in Phishing Attempts table includes an employee ID number. When we import the spreadsheet, we select the target field Employee ID in the Phishing Attempts form. The problem is that the Employee ID field in the Phishing Attempts form is not populating when we do the import. The ID number in the spreadsheet matches exactly what is in Employee ID in Targeted Users table. Is this not working because the Employee ID field in Phishing Attempts is pulling from Targeted Users table? Is there a way to get this to work?File Attachment Naming
Does anyone have a good way to add a file name to a file attachment? When in the field and we click the 'add file attachment' button/ link, we usually take a photo with the ipad to embed there. Is there a better way than making a text field for naming? Any way to do this manually?
Bar Chart based on Multi-Select Text field, but without unique combinations
Is there a good way to show the # of records where each option from a multi-select text field is selected WITHOUT showing every single unique combinations. For example, if Option A is selected on one record, Option A AND Option B would NOT be a separate bar on the bar chart, it would just show the actual choices in the field.
