Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Record on Quickbase

Description:Emit new event each time a new record is created in a specified table in Quickbase.

Quickbase Overview#

Quickbase is a low-code platform for building operational applications and automations that can manage data, workflows, and reporting. Using Pipedream's serverless platform, you can tap into the robust Quickbase API to weave complex workflows that respond to events, synchronize data across multiple systems, and streamline business processes. With Pipedream, you can trigger on events in Quickbase, or from hundreds of other apps, and write Node.js code to integrate with the Quickbase API directly, enabling a broad range of automation possibilities.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Quickbase	`quickbase`	`app`	This component uses the Quickbase app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
App ID	`appId`	`string`	The ID of an app. If the URL from your app dashboard starts with "https://domain.quickbase.com/db/123456", then the app ID is `123456`
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Quickbase uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Quickbase account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Quickbase APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To get your User Token:

On Quickbase, click your name in the top right and select My Preferences.
Scroll down to the My User Information section, click Manage my user tokens for realm name Realm.
Use one of the assigned tokens in the list or create a new one by clicking + New user token.

Your Hostname is 12345678 if your Quick Base URL is https://12345678.quickbase.com/

Pipedream Overview#

Pipedream is an API that allows you to build applications that can connect to
various data sources and processes them in real-time. You can use Pipedream to
create applications that can perform ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks,
as well as to create data-driven workflows.

Some examples of applications you can build using the Pipedream API include:

An application that can extract data from a database, transform it, and then
load it into another database.
An application that can monitor a data source for changes, and then trigger a
workflow in response to those changes.
An application that can poll an API for new data, and then process that data
in real-time.

    const response = await this.pipedream
      .subscribe(this.subscriptionSource, this.listenerId, this.eventName);
    response?.data?.length > 0 && $.export("$summary", "Successfully created Subscription");
    return response;
  },
};
