# Method name:

data.items.pipelineBuilder()

# Method Link:

https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/business-solutions/data/items/pipeline-builder.md

# Method Description:

Builds an aggregation pipeline for use with [`aggregatePipeline()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/data/items/aggregate-pipeline.md).

Configure the pipeline by calling `pipelineBuilder()` and chaining [`PipelineBuilder`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/data/items/pipeline-builder/introduction.md) methods. Then, specify the pipeline as the `pipeline` parameter when calling the [`aggregatePipeline()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/data/items/aggregate-pipeline.md) method.

> **Note**: You can only build an aggregation pipeline for collections [created in the CMS](https://support.wix.com/en/article/cms-formerly-content-manager-creating-a-collection) or with the [Data Collections API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/data/collections/introduction.md). They cannot be used on [Wix app collections](https://support.wix.com/en/article/cms-formerly-content-manager-working-with-wix-app-collections) or [external collections](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/databases/external-databases/overview/integrating-external-databases-with-your-wix-site.md).
