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.

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
