Newly independent Quickbase enhances synch and workflow
QuickBase Inc., a former Intuit Inc. subsidiary that was acquired from the consumer financial applications company by a private equity firm last month, is adding new application and data integration features that improve connections with other apps and enhance business tasks and processes.
QuickBase is targeted at what the company calls “citizen developers,” which are business users outside of the IT organization who have basic workflow and data integration needs that they can handle themselves. “Citizen development can work hand in hand with enterprise IT, so a business employee might build 90 percent of an app themselves in QuickBase, and then hand it over to the IT department to finalize and set proper security restrictions,” a spokesman said.
New features announced at the company’s Empower 2016 conference in Nashville include the following:
- QuickBase Webhooks enables more technically inclined application builders to streamline workflows by triggering actions in real time across external systems or QuickBase apps when data is changed in QuickBase. The feature is currently in the pre-release stage.
- QuickBase Sync for Email can automatically pulls email messages from Google’s Gmail and Microsoft’s Exchange into a QuickBase table with no coding required. Gmail synch is currently in early access release and the Exchange beta will be available late this year.
- QuickBase Sync for CSV—SFTP is an secure extension of a capability announced in January that enables users to pull data from comma-separated value (CSV) files into QuickBase tables. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) gives larger companies the ability to maintain more control over data access. The capability will be available in late 2016.
The company also said it has partnered with Workato Inc., an enterprise-class integration service on a connector that customers can use to automate workflows between QuickBase and 150 other cloud apps and on-premise systems. Integration services support business logic, conditional actions and multi-step workflows, all in a no-coding wrapper.
QuickBase boasts more than over 6,000 business customers including Google, Kayak Software Corp., Swisscom AG and Procter & Gamble Co. Intuit has built more than 10,000 internal applications with it.
