Set up a connection to Quickbase

Quickbase is a no-code application development platform that allows citizen users to create custom applications.

Set up a connection

This video demonstrates creating a Quickbase connection.

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all the required * authentication settings: 

Setting	Instructions
Name your connection *	Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
User token *	Enter your Quikbase user token. Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your user token safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text. How to retrieve the user token
Hostname *	Enter your Quickbase hostname. For example, if your Quickbase account is located at https://program.quickbase.com, then program is your hostname.
App ID *	Enter your Quickbase app ID. To find the app ID, navigate to your existing app or create a new app. The App ID appears at the end of the URL in the address bar. For example, if your app URL is https://demo.quickbase.com/db/brpswdr6u, then brpswdr6u is your app ID. If you create a new app, ensure you assign the new app to your user token.

Tip: This connector documentation describes only the settings shown for the Simple view. For the corresponding HTTP settings, see token auth universal connector documentation.
