New Pipeline Run Preview Feature (July 2026)
Hey there Boston Qrew! Great meeting on Wednesday...and yes, before I say anything else, I'll say...can't wait for Tammie King's scavenger hunt in September! :) One of my takeaways from our run through this month's release notes thanks to Tyler Brezler was the curiousity & contemplation around the new pipeline run preview feature released on 7/14/26. I conferred with the Product Manager overseeing this and he shared: The feature does not incur any Reads, it just combines the activities of an entire pipeline run into a single view The idea is that the current Activity Log does not provide a user-friendly view of the run, just a table, so that's the gap we tried to cover. It also shows the path of the pipeline execution in a pipeline run. And that's the value prop really - having a user-friendly preview of a specific run on top of the activity log. We are aware of an issue with browser cookies preventing the preview from loading, so clearing those should fix the issue if you're running into any errors. Since it's release, there hasn't been any further informational assets prepared from a product enablement perspective, so simply dive in and try it out if you're curious! Hoping this additional insight helps anchor your expectations around it.Using one field to collect data multiple times.
In quickbase, I have a field for user and datetime. There are several project status like pending, submitted, review,approved and denied. Everytime in the status field change I want to record who did the change and date time. I want to use the two buttons. submitted by and submitted datetime field to track the audit history or logs. I did try with a pipeline but there is no data being recorded. Anyone done this before?Pipeline Filters using AND and OR
I have a pipeline which has a search step from a list of students. In the filter I want to include the names I want and not the entire list. SchoolName is xxx AND Student Name contains John OR Student name contains Michael OR Student Name contains Joan OR .......they are 24 how can I approach this using using advance filtersAccessing previous field values after an import mapping failure
I have a bulk event-triggered pipeline firing whenever records are modified, leading to an Import to Quickbase step. The import stores current and previous field values on another table. Working on error handling for this import, I would like to log the attributes of the intended "change record" it was attempting to create, i.e. current and previous field values of the source record. If the error was an "import error" this is easy: I can access any of the target field values inside the `import_error.record` container. But if the error was a "mapping error" then it seems only the source's current fields are accessible through the `mapping_error.item` container, with apparently no metadata like previous field values. I don't think I can reference the original record in this context because it's a completely different object with a different index (since the import failures are obviously a subset of the original record set). So this leaves me without a way to store previous field values if there is a mapping error that I can see, unless I restructure the pipeline to process the records serially, which I'd prefer not to do if I can avoid it as the trigger event can potentially be quite large (thousands of changes at a time). Am I missing something? Or should I just not concern myself with auto-handling mapping errors in production, because the data types should never be allowed to change in the first place? Should I just make sure to throw a bright red alert if it does ever happen?
Jinja for User List field
Hi, I am building a pipeline to update a record that includes a User LIst field. I will be updating this field with single user and wanted to use Jinja: The "Help Text" below this field in the pipeline explains: "Comma-separated list of QuickBase User IDs. You can either assign same type list field or manually construct the comma-separated list using Jinja expression." I am not finding an example of how to construct this list in Jinja. Would appreciate help with the syntax. Thanks so much ------------------------------ Christine White ------------------------------Creating Pipelines with Multiple admin best practice
It seems that if I create a pipeline, as it is my user token, only I can see the pipelines I have created. What is the best practice when you have multiple QB developers, all wanting to create pipelines? One person creates all...? I want other admin to be able to troubleshoot or update all pipelines. I guess this is not possible. How do other people handle this? ------------------------------ Michael Tamoush ------------------------------
Translation Layer for an Inter-app pipeline.
Hey Qrew! Question for your expertise. I have a request from my userbase to create a number of pipelines to help transmit a request from one app to another. The gist is, when a request in system A meets certain criteria, that request needs to be submitted in system B or C. The pipeline will take the request details from system A and distribute them to the appropriate system. The roadblock I'm facing is that I have site (name, company, address, etc) and site contact (name, email, phone, etc) data that needs to be brought over from system A into B or C, but none of the record IDs match between these systems. So if I use the pipeline and pull site record ID 10 from system A, site record ID 10 will pull something completely different in B and C. I need either a translation layer in each system, or if there is a way to universalize without ruining existent data, I would prefer that. As always, your wisdom is appreciated!
Pipeline to Auto-Assign Trainings to Employees by "Profile"
I have three tables in Quickbase: Employees Trainings Profiles I’m trying to build a Pipeline that automatically assigns trainings to employees based on their "profile". Example: The "profile" called “Basic”requires: CPR Training First Aid Training If John Doe is assigned the “Basic” profile, the Pipeline should automatically add John Doe to the existing CPR and First Aid training records. A few important requirements: The Pipeline should only add trainings where the Employee Profile matches the Training Profile. The Pipeline must check for duplicate trainings and NOT add the employee to a training if they are already associated with it. If this can be done without a Pipeline I am all ears.
