You’ll see the Import pipeline dialog box

Do one of the following:
Paste your YAML into the window
Select Choose a YAML file and navigate to the location of your .yaml file
Select Import pipeline
Your pipeline populates with the steps in the YAML
Quickbase checks the accounts listed in the YAML against your own connected accounts. Any account you haven’t connected yet appears as a placeholder, and the pipeline imports in a disabled state.
To connect any placeholder accounts and activate your pipeline, see Connect accounts and activate the pipeline in the Transfer ownership of a pipeline help article.
