SendToQuickBase Cloud Feature
The SendToQuickBase cloud feature lets you easily save your email messages into your Quick Base Application without installing any software, preserving it in the cloud for access anywhere you're online. This feature is made possible given that saving into Quick Base simply requires that you include a special email address on your outgoing email messages (either in the To, Cc, or preferable the Bcc), or forward incoming messages to that email address.
Given this approach, SendToQuickBase can be used with any email program on any computer, running any operating system -- including smartphones and handheld devices. For example:
- Windows (Outlook, Thunderbird, any email program)
- Mac (Apple Mail, Entourage, any email program)
- Gmail on a PC, Mac or Linux
- Yahoo mail
- Android phones
- Blackberry
- iPhone
- iPad
... any email program at all!

- On the page that opens, locate your User record, and click Edit. If you cannot locate your User record, ask your SendToQuickBase Administrator to add you to the License.
- On the User page, click "Set Password". Note that you must allow pop-up windows from quickbase.com.
- On the password page, enter your Quick Base password twice, and click "Submit".
- Back on the User record page, click "Save".
That completes the setup, however, if you change your Quick Base password, you must go through this procedure again.
Saving Sent Messages
To save an outgoing email you are sending, simply include the special email address in your Bcc (recommended), or To, or Cc.
While putting the email address in the To or Cc will save the message into Quick Base, if the recipient does a Reply All, an attempt will be made to save the message into Quick Base. However, since the message won't be coming from you, it will fail to save.
Saving Received Messages
To save an email you have received, simply forward that message to the special email address. Do not include any other email addresses on the forwarded message, just send it "To" the special email address.
