# Quickbase Pipelines Agent use cases

Use cases for Pipelines Agent include the following.

## MSSQL to Quickbase

In this example we use the ODBC channel to access a company MSSQL database and then add some current tenant personal data from that database to a Quickbase app.

1. In the first step of this pipeline we prepare a bulk import operation to import data into the Quickbase database using **Prepare Bulk Upsert** ![Pipeline step showing the Prepare Bulk Upsert configuration for importing data into Quickbase](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4471449685012.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T20%3A42%3A46Z&se=2026-10-26T21%3A42%3A46Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=BDoLD5Yzk1yO91hAw5wg9wfOu74x%2F%2BOrf42B0eheOHU%3D)

1. We then use **Search Rows** to find ODBC data. ![Pipeline step showing the Search Rows configuration for the ODBC channel](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/16679569174932.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T20%3A42%3A46Z&se=2026-10-26T21%3A42%3A46Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=BDoLD5Yzk1yO91hAw5wg9wfOu74x%2F%2BOrf42B0eheOHU%3D)
2. We use the results of this search to **Add Row to Bulk Upsert**.

3. In the last step, we use **Commit Upsert** to update an existing record or create a new one. ![Pipeline step showing the Commit Upsert configuration to update an existing record or create a new one](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4471429101076.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T20%3A42%3A46Z&se=2026-10-26T21%3A42%3A46Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=BDoLD5Yzk1yO91hAw5wg9wfOu74x%2F%2BOrf42B0eheOHU%3D)
