September 2025 Qrew Meetup Recap
Thank you to everyone who joined yesterday’s Pipelines Qrew meetup. Here’s what we discussed: Rob Mersereau, Sr. Implementation Consultant, shared an encore of his Empower 2025 talk using a Mardi Gras example to show how to integrate Quickbase with Google Calendar through Pipelines. He noted that this use case can be applied to Outlook and SharePoint. Key highlights and tips: Link to app for following along Connect & Import: Rob demonstrated linking multiple Google accounts to Pipelines to pull Mardi Gras parade events into Quickbase—one record per event. Qrew Tip: Name Quickbase fields clearly with “gcal_” prefixes so AI auto-mapping works smoothly. Push to Calendar: He showed sending Quickbase parade plans to Google Calendar, writing back event IDs and clickable links for seamless updates. Qrew Tip: Always double-check your pipeline is turned on—this is the top cause of sync issues. Keep Data Fresh: Rob recommends using Bulk Record Upsert in Quickbase to quickly update or add records and track changes. Qrew Tip: Use Google event IDs as merge fields to prevent duplicates and enable reliable two-way sync. Build Gradually: Start with simple one-way flows, then add Teams alerts, Maps API calls, or multi-way sync as your workflow grows. Missed the meetup? Here’s the recording Attached is the participant guide to follow Rob’s examples. October is EmpowerPro month! Be sure to register for EmpowerPro October 7-8. Afterward, the Qrew will host a 3-part series, EmpowerPro Product Talks, on October 22, 23, and 28. More details coming soon!September 2025 Qrew Meetup Event

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update from the Code Pages Qrew Meetup: All 4 videos of code page examples from our speakers are now included in the Code pages folder. Here's a quick recap of what they covered in the meeting and here's the folder to watch the videos: Code Page Example Showcase by Elvis Agyemang: Elvis showed off a personalized homepage and a world clock, both built in minutes using ChatGPT—proof you can spin up cool tools fast. Tips: Use AI like ChatGPT to draft code page widgets or dashboards when you’re short on time. Process Messaging & Pipelines by Eric Mohlman: Eric demoed a code page that gives live progress updates for pipeline tasks—no more guessing if your process is done. Tips: Use webhooks to trigger progress bars and auto-redirects for a smoother user experience. Pass record IDs in the URL to keep your code pages flexible and reusable across different workflows. File Upload Controls & Multi-Table Assignments by Simon Herbst: Simon walked through file upload controls that check file type and size, with instant feedback using Bootstrap and Vue.js. Tips: Make your file upload page portable by passing table and field info in the URL—one page, many uses. Use real-time validation for file size and type to give users immediate, clear feedback (and avoid frustration). “Quicksheets” Code Page by Andrew Carbejal-Everts: Andrew recorded a short video on how to use code pages to export data to Excel to email different reports in a single file. Interested in reviewing their code page examples and using it for your use case? Here’s a link to a folder that has Code Page examples from Elvis, Eric, Andrew, and Simon. All videos included. Please let us know if you have any questions and we'll be sure to have experts review and respond. Thank you!June 2025 Qrew Meetup Event
