Run your pipeline

Prev Next

After you create a pipeline, you can activate, schedule, or run it. This article explains how to activate and run your pipeline.

Turn a pipeline on or off

Use the toggle to control whether your pipeline runs.

  • On—The pipeline runs when triggered

  • Off—The pipeline does not start new runs

When a pipeline is turned off, it stops starting new runs. Runs that have not yet completed are paused.

If the pipeline is turned back on, queued runs continue processing automatically. Runs that were interrupted while actively running do not resume.

You can turn a pipeline on or off from:

  • The My pipelines view, using the On / Off toggle

    On/Off toggle in the My pipelines view

  • The pipeline designer, using the On / Off toggle

    On/Off toggle in the pipeline designer

Run your pipeline

When pipelines start with an action step, the Run button displays. Use the Run button to run your pipeline. 

Run button in the pipeline designer

When pipelines start with a trigger step, the pipeline runs automatically when the conditions of that trigger are met. For example, when a Quickbase record is created. Use the Sync button to check the conditions. Learn more about Sync.

Schedule pipelines that don't contain a trigger step. Your scheduled pipeline runs at the intervals you choose. Learn more about scheduling pipelines.
