- On your sponsor’s pageProgress on each deliverable, with its proof
What it reads
Link the Quickbase tables each Unblockd project needs. You pick which items to bring in, up to 50 at a time, and each one becomes a task under a deliverable with a link back to Quickbase.
In Quickbase
Table records by the Status field; Blocked flags a blocker.
How it stays current
Unblockd reads your linked tables again when someone opens a project’s Sources tab and the last read is more than 10 minutes old, whenever you press Sync now, and once a day.
How you connect
An admin pastes the realm hostname, app id and user token from Quickbase once for the whole workspace. Unblockd checks it with Quickbase before saving anything. Unblockd reads your work in Quickbase and leaves it as it is. The key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it’s stored.
What your sponsor sees
Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress. The tasks you bring in, and any blocker they flag, stay with your team until someone chooses to share them.
How teams use it
What happens to Quickbase work once it’s connected, from the first link to your sponsor’s page.
- Plan in Quickbase, report from UnblockdLink the Quickbase table for a project and bring its items in under the deliverables they serve, up to 50 at a time. Each task keeps a link back to Quickbase, and its status follows Quickbase from then on.
- Stuck work becomes an askIn Quickbase, Blocked flags a blocker. Unblockd opens it for your team only and alerts your team’s chat channels if you’ve connected any. Someone confirms it and turns it into an ask for the sponsor: a decision with options, or a request for help.
- Acceptance stays with your teamA task marked done in Quickbase finishes here too, unless it still needs a sign-off. The deliverable itself is accepted only once its evidence is attached, and your sponsor is emailed only when a person on your team accepts it.
- New items arrive on their own, if you wantAn admin can turn on automatic import, so new open items in a linked table arrive as tasks under the deliverable chosen for it, up to 25 per sync.
