I am not familiar with Cloud Pipes and was not able to find much information about the service. Can you provide a few specific examples of how the Cloud Pipes integration will be useful for Quick Base builders?
Thanks,

- JayJamison16 years agoQuickbase StaffHey Adam. You bet. (we definitely need to get you signed up for our October demo / webinar.)
In its simplest form, what Cloudpipes offers is a broad set of channels / connectors to 3rd party systems and a workflow designer. This enables a user to then compose in a drag-n-drop experience, a kind of "if this then that," type of workflow and triggers to get work done across systems. The opportunities and potential here is pretty much endless, but here are a few illustrative use cases that you could imagine this enabling...
Use Case 1: Use Quick Base and Cloudpipes to setup an integration with Quick Base apps and Slack. So when something occurs in Quick Base, this triggers something on Slack that informs people of something happening.
Use Case 2: Using Quick Base and Cloudpipes, a company with a range of different SaaS tools--marketing automation, CRM, financial--can use the Cloudpipes integration capabilities to trigger actions occurring in one app to then lead to actions in another app.
The basic idea is to use Cloudpipes to vastly streamline and simplify the connection between Quick Base and other third party applications--both those that are SaaS tools, collab platforms (like Slack) or on prem systems (such as an on prem database like SQL or SAP).

Over time, our vision would be to bring a platform grade no code integration capability that can replace those features. Additionally, our vision includes a powerful and modern API set for developers. Together, we see these as foundational building blocks to Quick Base being able to unlock and deliver on the potential our customers see and expect.
