Upload Multiple File Attachments to QuickBase
You can create a button that allows you to add and link multiple file attachments at once to QuickBase. By getting a copy of the "Magic Buttons" app from the QuickBase Exchange you can copy the button and the html code page and make it your own for your QuickBase application. We cover topics, questions and answers like this in our daily M-F "Office Hours" webinars held at 1pm Eastern time.

This question is a follow-up to:https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/delete-file-attachment-with-api-editrecord. It concerns the use of API_EditRecord to delete attached files from records. Inspired by the final answer to the aforementioned question, I have been sending out requests with these parameters: <rid>[rid]</rid> <field fid="18" filename="delete"></field> <field fid="24" filename="delete"></field> This works perfectly well, except for not actually deleting any files. What I get are empty fields whose revision histories now have "(deleted by user)" at the top, with all previous revisions still available and taking up space. Is there really no way of actually deleting file attachments through the API? While I would prefer a nuke-all option of removing the entire history at once, I'm also open to doing it revision by revision. I looked at the API reference and couldn't find anything, so I'm nervous that this is just not possible, but I thought I'd ask just to be safe.16Views2likes7CommentsPipelines Sharepoint
I have been playing around with pipelines and now the sharepoint pipeline has been released. Does anyone know how to create a pipeline to take a file attachment from QuickBase to a folder in SharePoint? I can't seem to get it to work and this would really help our procurement process if it was possible. ------------------------------ Amber Polston ------------------------------15Views0likes5CommentsUpload base64 PDF File Attachment using API
I am having issue with uploading a PDF file attachment using quickbase API. I have already converted the PDF File to base 64. After the record gets updated in quickbase, I get an error whenever i try to download the file. Sample API Call Headers: Content-Type: application/xml QUICKBASE-ACTION: API_EditRecord Body: <qdbapi> <apptoken>app_token</apptoken> <ticket>ticket</ticket> <rid>30</rid> <field fid="80" filename="test.pdf"> BASE 64 ENCODED STRING OF THE PDF FILE </field> </qdbapi> What is wrong with base64 for PDF file attachments in quickbase using the API or are there specific files that quickbase can be able to decode correctly. Or if there is another alternative approach. Thanks FYI, I am currently using a Restlet Client - REST API Testing to do the testing to ensure the api works well, before diving in to code in any language15Views1like8CommentsMulti-file Upload
Using magic buttons to upload multiple files and it is working great. I have one app that I would like to do the same but the files have a type associated with it. For example, I need to upload 10 files and chose the file type as "drawing" or "email". Any suggestions on how I do that? ------------------------------ Sarah Burres ------------------------------11Views0likes1CommentUploading a file attachment to Outlook when automating through Pipelines
I have been able to set up an e-mail that sends through MS Outlook using pipelines and it works well in taking values from fields in records, etc. However, I want to add a Word Document as a file attachment in the traditional way that files are attached in outlook - i.e. not a hyperlink. That file could be an uploaded file in a QuickBase record; or if there is a way to upload from DropBox and still get a traditional file attachment (not a link) that would work. Is this possible through pipelines? Jeff ------------------------------ Jeff Elliott ------------------------------10Views0likes0CommentsFile Attachments Export
I am starting new apps from scratch because the existing ones that we have were created by a consultant. I need to be able to export documents, a table from an existing app, into a new app. When I export the documents table it just has the file attachment name instead of the actual file. So then I thought of doing a relationship between the apps but once we have our new ones up and running we will be deleting the old ones. Is there a way to do this where the document stays in my new app once we delete the other? If there is no way around the relationship from the old app, we can always keep it I guess, but only let it show for me. ------------------------------ Bethany Dickey ------------------------------9Views0likes4CommentsRemoving .pdf from a file name
Trying to remove .pdf from the end of the file name. Using a formula text field I attempted to use the function Part([File],1,".") , but my file name will often have periods (different amounts) so I can't seem to get that to work, unless there is a way to use it I'm not thinking of. I tried to use the function Left([File],".pdf"), but that still only looks at the period and not the entire string. How can I remove the .pdf from a file name, where the file name includes periods? ------------------------------ Mike Tamoush ------------------------------9Views0likes2Comments
