I am reading the quickbase blog in bloglines with about 100 other news feeds.

I would LOVE to have quickbase data accessible via RSS. I repeat I would LOVE to have quickbase data accessible via RSS!!!

My team uses quickbase email notification so often, important messages often get lost in the shuffle. I’d really like to turn off email notifications all together, and move to an RSS only option (for my team).

I envision it in 3 ways:

1) any view can be viewed as an rss feed. whenever something changes, the rss feed would show the addition, deletion, or change (much like jotspot or mediawiki publish a change log as an rss feed)

2) allow an option to publish an rss feed wherever you allow email notification in quickbase. Continue to allow for the same options and criteria you would for email, but all another subscribtion medium to be rss in addition to email.

3) Subscribe to a view may be handy to also allow that email subscription to be published via rss

@David Kanter, I agree with David. I’ve missed quite a few things because all i see when i visit my inbox is 60 messages. Its hard to get through when you have alot on your plate. If I had a feed of changes, I would be done in 5 mins and would never miss a thing.

I read rss feeds via pluck and would love to see quickbase offer RSS capability. My vision is the same as Dave’s above.

I read about 200 feeds, and also would love to have rss support for QuickBase.. it’d be great to have any view be accessible as a rss feed, and the feed would have a description of the entry that changed, and a link to view that entry.

I’d envision the support as a “don’t send me more email, but allow me to pull changes as I want” type of thing.

I read this blog through Google Reader. I subscribe to about 30-40 feeds and spend at least an hour/night reading them.

As for RSS functionality in Quickbase: While I am sure lot of the developers on these message boards would use it, I think the average user just isn’t interested in RSS yet. Then again it’s always fun to start the trend.

I read this by checking from time to time. Based on the other respnses, it looks like I should figure out what this RSS is all about. No one in our company uses RSS.

Read the blog via Pluck and voice the same opinion as the others – would be neat to have this accessible via RSS. I don’t think a lot of people are reading feeds, but it’s catching on. Most of the feed readers are “techies” but I see the trend catching on with business users as well.

It was fairly straightforward to implement using the Ruby wrapper for the QuickBase API (https://www.quickbase.com/db/8emtadvk?act=s&query;={’40′.EX.’23744′}OR{’3′.EX.’23744′}&clist;=2.6.10.26)

RSS support for QuickBase would be outstanding. It would complement the concept of subscriptions. Administrators and managers like to keep track of workflow and we do so by being copied on notifications and subscriptions. RSS feeds would greatly simplify this monitoring process and decrease our volume of email. Given Microsoft’s embrace of RSS feeds it makes great sense to offer this feature. Also, please be aware of opportunities to implement these capabilities on “smartphones”. Please provide the RSS capability at the view level and interface with the concepts you have developed for E-mail customization. Thank you.

Someone above said that “I think the average user just isn’t interested in RSS yet”. The majority of RSS feeds are “nice to haves”, they are often not used as a tool to getting work done!

We now use QuickBase for a significant proportion of our internal systems. The need for RSS is as essential as the need for email notifications, but it’s not available.

We would lov to make RSS feeds from QB as integral to our employees system as Outlook is to them.

There are real business applications of RSS feeds from QB apps, which my peers have done well to highlight above.

If I was asked to list my top five major feature requests, RSS would be at the top of my list.

Not only does it make major sense, it is a commercial must for Intuit. I’d pay for this feature.
