    Details

    QuickBaseImportCSV receives data records through the input port and writes them into a QuickBase online database. Generates record IDs for successfully written records and sends them out through the first optional output port if connected. The first field on this output port must be of a string data type. Into this field, generated record IDs will be written. Information about rejected data records can be sent out through the optional second port if connected.

    This component wraps the API_ImportFromCSV HTTP interaction (http://www.quickbase.com/api-guide/importfromcsv.html).
