So a search records step is 1 step run: 100 records meet the query specifications - then the 100 runs for editing each of those records counts for 100? Also behind the scenes is quick base doing an import csv (multi-record update) to the 100 records to be modified or is it editrecord for each individually? Asking thing primarily of notifications that may trigger based on pipeline. Notifications can act very different based on single vs multi record updates

- Hi Austin, that's a great question! You are correct that the search step itself will only count as 1 step-run. If 100 records then meet the query criteria and an action is taken for each of those records (e.g. add, update, delete), then that will count as 100 step-runs. That means that the full Pipeline would consume 101 step-runs each time it is run. However, if 100 records are searched and only 25 meet the criteria for the action to be taken, then that would only count as 25 step-runs.
I am excited to share that we are working on bulk record capabilities like import csv, and you can expect to hear more about that as soon as it's available. Of course, as you mentioned, Notifications behave differently when you use a bulk action as opposed to modifying each record one at a time so you will need to configure your Pipeline accordingly.
