When an API button is pressed, something incredible happens...

A mini-program runs adding, editing, copying, or deleting records based on your custom specifications.

These mini-programs can include multiple actions across multiple records in multiple tables or apps.

All in that single button click.

And unlike Automations, Webhooks, or even Pipelines, API buttons are under the control of the user. They choose when to trigger the mini-program through the click of the button.

So, what can you do with API buttons?

• Add new records (requiring the user to save the new record or not)
• Copy an existing record while requiring the user to save the new record
• Edit existing records without requiring the user to save the changes
• Delete records without requiring confirmation from the user
• Trigger email notifications
• Trigger Pipelines
• Trigger Webhooks

But that's not all! With API buttons you can also:

• Control the user's destination after the above action (or as the primary action) — directing them to a homepage, thank you page, record, table homepage, report, etc.
• Combine or repeat any of the above actions to create multi-action buttons
• Utilize the power of formula functions to further enhance and expand the button's functionality

Here are just a few examples of what can be done with API Buttons:

• Initiate an email to request an approval
• Log an approval (or disapproval) from an email
• Add a set of standard tasks to a project
• Consolidate repetitive tasks by pre-populating new records with a set of field values
• Create a counter that increments with each button press (logging the number of times an action was taken)
• Update multiple fields at one time (such as phase, status, date, notes, etc.)
• Copy a template record to cut down on data entry (and mistakes)
• Delete the last item added to an order

What you'll get:

• Everything you need to use the 5 most common QuickBase APIs in your applications
  – API_AddRecord
  – API_GenAddRecordForm
  – GenCopyRecord
  – API_EditRecord
  – API_DeleteRecord
• Instruction that breaks down 24 different URL formula components that make the magic of the API possible
• An easy to remember 4 part structure that will help you create your API formulas with ease
• Multiple use cases and examples that include end-to-end demonstrations covering the business scenario, application setup, formula writing, and implementation in Quickbase — providing inspiration and integration of the lessons.
• Swipe files of all the demonstrated formulas that you can copy & paste
• Cheat sheets for all the formula components covered for quick reference after taking the course
• A decoder for all the field format requirements when using APIs so that you don't have to spend the time figuring them out on your own
• A troubleshooting guide to help you out when your formulas have errors
• Bonus lessons that help take your new API button skills to the next level

If you're not using HTML formulas in your apps you're seriously missing out!

This course will help you take your apps from ho-hum to holy-cow!

What you can do with HTML Formulas:

• Combine formula functions with HTML to dynamically deliver eye-catching information.
• Enhance text and numbers by setting the color, background, boldness, font, and MUCH more.
• Add images to reports and forms to display products, logos, or other graphics.
• Incorporate icons that automatically update when field values change.
• Create numbered or bulleted lists of information including summaries from child tables.
• Add dynamic hyperlinks and buttons where you control the look, label, and behavior.
• Use HTML tables to organize information and create print perfect forms (great for invoices, purchase orders, welcome letters, and more!).
• Build the MOST incredible Kanban reports you've ever seen.

But that's not all!

• Learn my hack for developing large amounts of HTML with minimal effort.
• See how HTML can be used in report formulas, extending the use beyond basic fields
• Get tips & shortcuts to help you build, organize, and troubleshoot your formulas.

What you'll get:

• Step-by-step videos gradually building from basic to advanced
• A practice packet that allows you to replicate the EXACT formulas I teach

Tool Purpose: Convert raw HTML into formula friendly text strings
Recommended for: Anyone using a moderate amount of HTML (or more) in rich text formulas

Paste, Click, DONE!

Instantly convert any block of HTML text into a Rich Text Formula friendly text string.

STOP endlessly typing double quotes to create text strings and escaping or replacing the internal quotes.

The Super Fast HTML Formula Converter does the work for you and retains all line formatting, which means WAY less time and no ugly unmanageable blobs of text.

And if you include bracketed text references in your HTML, they'll automatically sync up when you paste the output into your Rich Text formula field! Amazing!

I CAN NOT believe I ever lived without this tool. It has made my development so much FASTER and way LESS FRUSTRATING. Literally, every time I use it, I'm amazed at how well it works... I kick myself for not making it sooner.

With the Super Fast HTML Formula Converter you can:

• Save tons of time by eliminating the tedious task of manually converting HTML into the correct formula format
• Choose your preferred quoting method by using the default single quote or force the use of escaped double-quotes (HTML containing URLs will automatically use double-quotes)
• Enter field references right into your HTML and have them automatically sync up in the converted formula friendly text
• Enter placeholders in your HTML that can easily be replaced with variables and other formula functions when editing the converted HTML formula — without needing to do any additional converting
• Retain the HTML line formatting for neat and organized formulas (that are way easier to modify later)

What you'll get:

• The converter tool which can be accessed online, anytime through your Quick Base Junkie account
• Video instruction for using the converter
• Written instruction for using the converter
• A demonstration that includes how to generate your own HTML
• An example use case with a few extra tips
