# Connect FastField to Quickbase

This article explains how to create and use a Quickbase integration with your FastField account using a user token. Quickbase integrations can be used to:

- Send submitted form data from FastField into mapped Quickbase tables
- Create FastField forms from existing Quickbase tables
- Create FastField data tables that are linked to Quickbase tables as a data source

This integration method is an alternative to fully connecting your FastField account to your Quickbase realm via the Quickbase Admin Console. It uses a Quickbase user token to connect FastField to your Quickbase realm.

User tokens come with levels of permission to access certain tables. The permissions are inherited through user permissions set up in Quickbase. This integration is best suited for FastField customers who want to try connecting with Quickbase without fully committing to Quickbase single sign-on (SSO).

## Set up a Quickbase integration in FastField

There are a few areas in FastField where you can set up the integration:

- On the Integrations page
- When creating a data table
- When importing a Quickbase table to create a new form
- When creating a Global Workflow that connects to Quickbase

On the New Integration screen, enter a name for this integration, followed by your Quickbase realm URL and user token.

## Find your Quickbase realm URL

A realm is a domain within your Quickbase account. Your realm URL is your realm name + *.quickbase.com* (for example: *builderprogram-jdoe.quickbase.com*).

To locate your realm URL, log in to your realm in your Quickbase account. Find your realm URL in the address bar of your browser.

5. Copy the user token and paste it into the User Token field on the New Integration screen in FastField.
6. Select **Add** to save your integration.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Tokens tied to Quickbase service accounts can also be used in your FastField Quickbase integration. Service accounts have the benefit of not being tied to a specific user. If you have a personnel change, these tokens will not need to be reset.

## Allow other FastField admins and builders to use the integration

By default, the Quickbase integration is only accessible by the admin or builder who created it. However, the integration creator can share it with other FastField admins and builders. This will allow them to connect forms, data tables, and workflow actions to Quickbase. To give permission to specific admins and builders in your FastField account:

1. In FastField, expand the Workflow menu, and then select **Integrations**.
2. Edit an existing Quickbase integration (**Actions** > **Edit**) or create a new integration (**+** **New Integration**).
3. In the Permissions section, select **Manage permissions**. ![Manage permissions option for the Quickbase integration](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/31854362203661?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T23%3A46%3A41Z&se=2026-10-30T00%3A46%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MJXR4QKqE4B%2FH0XUxov2LuqY5Z5miMNdB%2FOuPnlLhNU%3D)
4. Select **Add user** to add a user to your list of permitted users. You can remove or add a user to this list at any time. ![Add user option in integration permissions](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/31854385709069?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T23%3A46%3A41Z&se=2026-10-30T00%3A46%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MJXR4QKqE4B%2FH0XUxov2LuqY5Z5miMNdB%2FOuPnlLhNU%3D)
