AI-powered product help
Starting March 31, tapping into Quickbase's help resources is easier than ever. We’re introducing AI-powered Quickbase help, designed to give you support wherever you are in the platform.
Getting AI-powered help is simple to use. Select Ask Quickbase AI in the help menu and ask a question about the platform or task you want to complete in your own words.
Another way to access AI-powered help is by using the Get help skill when you open Quickbase AI from the global bar. This provides you with immediate answers and resources, right where you’re working.
With Quickbase AI-powered help, you can get on-demand help with platform topics and with AI responses that remember the context of your queries. By pulling resources from the Quickbase help center and integrating insights from user feedback, Quickbase AI help ensures that your AI responses are not only accurate, but also highly relevant to your specific needs.
Learn more about this new feature in our updated help article.
Audit logs access from any app
We're opening our audit logs to more roles. App administrators and super users can now access audit logs by going to App settings > App management. There you can view and filter audit logs specific to the current app.
This new page has additional filters for greater flexibility and to make the search process faster and more accurate. You can narrow down results to a specific table, resource type (field, record, etc.), or resource ID.
Learn more in our help article.
Solution APIs and QBL—support for additional schema objects
Starting March 26, we will release two new QBL (Quickbase language) versions:
- V0.7 will be the default version and generally available to everyone. It supports forms (both legacy and new), dashboards, and cross-app relationships, in addition to all previously supported features.
-
V0.9 will be available for you to try out in beta. It supports pipelines and connected tables.
-
Supported Pipelines channels: Quickbase, Callable Pipelines, Text, Clock
-
Supported connected table sources: Quickbase, Admin Console, Sample Data
-
Learn more about QBL and Solution APIs.
Pipelines—use AI to fill in steps
Starting March 25, pipeline builders can use AI to fill in all the fields in a pipeline step with a single click.
Smart Builder uses pipeline details (schema, name, and description) and step details (type, name, and notes) to populate all mandatory and some optional fields in your step. For this to work, make sure you have a valid connection selected first.
Pipelines—new activity events in audit logs
With the addition of service accounts, it’s become easier to collaborate in Pipelines. To provide more visibility, beginning on March 25, you will start seeing the following audit logs events related to pipeline operations:
- Pipeline created
- Pipeline updated
- Pipeline deleted
- Pipeline activated
- Pipeline deactivated
- Prompt sent to Pipelines Smart Builder
The new events will be available in the audit logs Admin Console connected (ACC) table.
Email domain group operations—new activity events in audit logs
We've added new audit logs for the following email domain group operations:
- Add any email domain group to an app
- Change the role assigned to an email domain
- Remove an email domain from an app
The new events will be available in the audit logs Admin Console connected (ACC) table. View our full library of audit logs.
Enhancements
My apps page—more visibility
In the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out improvements to the My apps page. Our goal is to reduce the likelihood of apps falling off the page for users with a large number of apps. We’ll continue to release more improvements over the coming months.
Audit logs Admin Console connected (ACC) table—new fields
We offer a series of special connected tables that pull administrative data from your account’s admin console (users, apps, audit logs, etc.). For better traceability and transparency, we're adding two new fields to the audit logs ACC table: User ID and Payload changes. These fields will be available by the end of March.
Performance analyzer
The performance analyzer will now show the number of operations detected in any part of a trace.
Dashboard gauge charts—summary report formulas
In January, we added summary report formulas to standalone gauge charts. This lets you perform calculations on a set of aggregate data by first summing the data set, and then calculating an average. Now, summary report formulas are supported on all gauge charts, whether they're embedded on a dashboard or not.
Single sign-on (SSO) prompt
We’ve improved the sign-in prompt to increase clarity. Previously, users were asked if they had a corporate username and password to sign in with. Now, users are asked specifically if they have an SSO account.
Also, new users registering with a Quickbase username and password in a realm with SSO will not be asked if they have corporate SSO credentials. This will help reduce confusion and error.
FastField location fields now map to Quickbase address fields
Users of the FastField integration can now map FastField Location/GPS fields to Quickbase Address fields.
Previously, the latitude and longitude coordinates captured from the Location/GPS field on a FastField form did not directly transfer to the Address field on a Quickbase table. This has now been improved to further improve your field-to-office workflow.
Learn more about connecting FastField forms with Quickbase tables.
Pipelines FastField channel—pre-populate photos and documents
You can now dispatch a FastField form with pre-filled photos or documents using the Pipelines FastField channel.
To do this, select a Single Photo or Document Viewer field to pre-populate. Then, the File Transfer Handler allows you to retrieve a file from a Quickbase record or any other file transfer step within the pipeline.
This FastField enhancement will be available by the end of March.
Pipelines—new search option for power builders
On March 25, we’re adding a new way to search in pipeline steps. Typing /
will open a filter search, which will be replaced by the selected field, including any spaces.
Pipelines planned maintenance on March 25—refresh may be needed
We are doing planned maintenance of Pipelines on March 25 before 8 AM EST. During the day, if you are working on Pipelines and the UI does not respond properly or responds with an error, please refresh the page to fix it.
XML APIs—HTTP status code changes (wave 2)
By default, our XML APIs return an HTTP status code of 200, even if there’s an error. To partially overcome this, we previously introduced an optional header parameter that causes Quickbase to return a 400 (bad request) HTTP status code in case of an error.
Now we are further evolving our XML APIs so that they can return proper HTTP status codes based on the Quickbase error codes, even without supplying the optional header parameter. We are doing this to harmonize our APIs with the latest industry standards.
We are doing a staged rollout. We started last month with the initial wave 1 of error codes. This month, the following Quickbase error codes will be impacted:
- 1 - Unknown error
- 2 - Invalid input
- 4 - Bad ticket
- 6 - Syntax error
- 8 - SSL required for this application table
- 11 - Could not parse XML input
- 13 - Invalid account ID

Create FastField data tables from Quickbase reports
Data tables are a way to sync your Quickbase data with dropdown lists used in FastField forms for real-time updates. Previously, data tables could only be synced with Quickbase tables. Now, you can use Quickbase reports as the source of a FastField data table. By using a Quickbase report, your data table’s values are automatically filtered according to the filters you have set up in your report.
Create Quickbase tables from FastField forms
FastField lets you create mobile forms in seconds—straight from your Quickbase table or by using the AI Form Converter. Now, you can also instantly create a new Quickbase table from a form you’ve made in FastField.
This is helpful if you want to start by making a form in FastField, and have it automatically create a new table in Quickbase to store its data in. To do this:
-
Build a form in FastField (with AI or from scratch)
-
In the Form Builder, go to Advanced Options > Connect to Quickbase Table
-
Choose your integration and app, and select Add new for the table
Note: This feature requires you to set up a Quickbase user token integration in FastField.

Feature retirements
Audit logs Admin Console connected (ACC) table notification_sent action
We removed the notification_sent action from the audit ACC table. For a full list of supported actions, visit our Audit Log Library app.
Automations, Application Webhooks UI, and Quickbase Actions retirement timeline
After careful consideration of your valuable feedback, we're pleased to announce a more customer-friendly approach.
After August 31, 2025, existing customers will no longer be able to create new Actions. This is the only change we'll implement this year, aligning Actions with the current state of Automations. There are no changes scheduled for Webhooks or Automations at this time.
As a reminder, Automations are currently unsupported, and we recommend migrating to the more powerful and flexible Pipelines capability. It’s no longer possible to create new Automations.
Actions, and the Application Webhooks UI, are not available on newly-created accounts. Existing Automations and Actions, however, will continue to run indefinitely and you’ll still be able to enable or disable them as needed.
