DO I NEED TO USE AN API FOR THIS?
We want to have our customers click on a payment link that takes them to the payment system we use to process the payment. I want to send them the Record ID and the Total Due.... How in the world do ...
Forum Discussion
Heather:
Is the payment system a Quick Base app?
Does the payment system have an API?
You want to send them the Record ID and Total Due - via email?
Is the "record id" and "total due" derived from a Quick Base App?
Pipelines might work - it would be easier if your Payment system had an existing "channel" in Pipelines - check on that.
Are you customers logging in to your Quick Base app is it anonymous?
Providing more information would help better minds than mine point you in the right direction.

I have their dev team on the phone, and they can give me the API integration line of code in javascript so I can push through amount and name, but where/how do I set that up on my side?

What are they providing you with exactly?
If they are giving you a endpoint to send an HTTP Request to, then you can do this a pipeline pretty easily.If they intend for you to execute some javascript code, you'll need to use a code page which is a little tricky.

------------------------------Hi Jeff! they gave me both ways actually.
they gave me the HTTP request - which they said the customer would need to type in the amount they're supposed pay...could I set up the pipeline to do that?
Are you able to walk me through the pipeline option?

Heather Donaldson
------------------------------Well, to get you started, you'll want a pipeline that is similar to this:
A. Quickbase Record Updated (This would be your trigger action, probably triggered when your customer clicks the 'pay' button and it updates the record with the amount they entered)
B. Make Request (found under the webhooks channel - You would access the value for the payment from step A.)
C. Quickbase Update Record (use this to write the response back to your quickbase record)
