August Portland Qrew Meetup Notes
Attendees: Lee Gilmore, Jen Clark, Jim Harrison, Jonathan Moreno-Farias, Elena Larabee, Tammi King The meeting started by sharing what we have been working on this month. Jen is working on building a mobile experience for her field Users in FastField forms. She is hoping for Address fields in place of latitude longitude coordinates and also the ability to perform calculations in the forms. I am working on the testing the beta version of Document Template. I shared what the tool can and cannot do and areas where they are making improvements. Elena continues to work on making an automation for importing Pipelines across apps. The current challenge is how to replace the slug automatically. One discovery she shared was in place of the slug one can use quickbase[default] which fills in the default Pipelines connector token for the App when the Pipeline is imported. It's not a foolproof solution due to security issues with using the default token. It could work to exhibit a proof of concept. Sadly Lee did not join us in person as he wasn't feeling well. On top of that the Internet at Lees house was acting up. Because of these two factors, we didn't get an update from Lee. He did hang out and was able to hear what we discussed so hopefully he got some good cheer from our conversation. Tammie continues to work on the photoshoot app for her company. The App uses the EOTI method allowing Customers to request and appointment. Automaton then sets up the schedule in an internal App based upon the Photographers calendar. Once the shoot is scheduled, automation duplicates the schedule to the EOTI App. Finally the App sends a calendar invite to the Customer. Scheduling is a complex system with many moving parts. On top of building this process she also has to work with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook where there are constraints from IT. Jonathan is new to the Harder team and decided to join the meetup to listen in and decide if he is interested in future events. Next we talked about Pizza. There is a difference between West Coast compared to East of the Mississippi Pizza. Being from the Chicagoland area originally I have my opinion. Tammie also shared her experience with a local market in the Boston area that by the sound of it is a good place to get pizza when in Boston. Before we ended the meeting we talked about Empower Pro plans. I will see if we can arrange for an in-person event and will update the Portland Qrew in the coming weeks. After the event we headed to Izakaya Kichinto for Ramen and a conversation around good sci-fi fantasy TV shows to watch.August 28th Portland Qrew Meetup 3PM
