Outlook Email Automation Limiting to 25 Emails per 24 Hours

I have an automation set up with an Outlook email action that runs into errors after sending 25 emails successfully. When I run it at least 24 hours later, it will send another 25 emails. However I keep having to push the rest of the records that need emails sent to the following day. What is the term for this specific limit I’m running into with Outlook’s integration? Is there a way around it or to disable it?

Is it possible to be notified in Google Chat, Slack or Teams when "@user" is used in comment/notes

Hello,Quite simple question : today when you mention a user with “@person” in a comment or a note, he/she gets notified by email. Is there a way to route these notifications in Google Chat, Slack or MS Teams ? I’d like to avoid kludge solution like creating a Zap or Make that watches over the mailbox and transform an email received into a chat message, this should flow directly from airtable to one of those 3 solutions, like a setting in the user specific parameters.

Syncing amendments to Google Calendar events

Hi all,Have been scouring the web, AirTable support and various AI platforms to get an answer to this, but no joy so far. I am trying to set up automation to sync changes between Google Calendar and Airtable, including updates and deletions. AirTable support instructed me to set up triggers for new events, updated events and cancelled events. I am doing this on an empty table at the moment just to test it out. However, I am hitting a bit of a brick wall with the Updated Events automation. I believe I have the Find records action set up OK, see screenshot below (although when I test the step at that stage, it says Found 0 Records but I guess this is because the table is empty currently...)My screenshot: Find records menu Where I’m really getting lost is with the Update record part. According to AirTable Support, “the ID of the action that gets the information to be used goes in Record ID, and should look like the below. “This is because this Integrated Trigger is not directly related to

How to use combined formulas for a label printing program -- Concatenate + if/then + probably something else?

Hello hive mind geniuses! Bear with me, I’m not sure how to explain all this, so I’ll start with my use case scenario and end with my current setup so far.I’m trying to create a file folder/mail merge printing system for genealogy & correspondence names. The problem I’m trying to resolve is having to copy and paste information over and over into label templates, whenever file folder or mailing labels need to be fixed, reprinted, or duplicated.Currently, I have to copy and paste from within each name or address cell in my spreadsheet. Even if I rearrange the spreadsheet to display vertical columns rather than long rows of cells, a full copy/paste of multiple cells shows mini tables inside the label borders, instead of formatted text columns. It’s exhausting. So the urge is to save the label sheet for when new labels need to be printed as replacements, edits, or extra file folders or envelopes. But then every time you need a few or many new labels printed, you have to hunt them down

Interfaces / List View / Remove Grouping text

In Interface, I create a grouping of my data based on warehouses. That works.The warehouse names appear as their own defined sections, great! Why in the world do I have to see the field name above every single group in my page??1-It’s the same (useless) information over and over2-It’s ugly Is there a way to just remove the grouping title? We can remove grouping record sums! Why not the title? In this example I would remove the POSO WAREHOUSE text.(My fallback is to edit this for something like an Emoji or whatever, but I’d rather have nothing appear). Thanks so much folks!

referral management

I am looking to create a form that will collect referrals from teachers that will store all the referrals in one place for those responding to these referrals to be able to act on them and then have the outcomes of those actions be shared out automatically preferably via email but I would also like the referral data to be easily sortable into specific students as reports that can be printed and have the ability to attach other files to these referrals. I would l also like to be able to analyze all of the data for trends and patterns as well as look at individual student data for trends and patterns. I have no idea where to begin and if airtable can even do something like this.

Automations To Paste When Base Is Copied

Hey guys,Is there any plans to make it so that when someone copies a base from a public share link, that the automations also get copied across?I create a bunch of systems and templates for people to try and get them in to using Airtable but this is big limitation when it comes to offering these types of solutions as the automations are really a big part of any system.Is this going to be possible at any point or is there a good workaround at all?

Automation step is executed before another step is finished

I ran into a strange problem in an automation.I am using a script to gather some data from two tables and combine it into a rich-text field. In the next step, I send out an e-mail with the content of this field. Turns out the e-mail is sent before the script has updated the text field!Even adding a 3 second delay in the script does not solve the issue.Curious if someone has a solution in place?Thank you!

Naming an entry according to date

Hey guys, probably an easy thing to do but I want to name an entry according to the right “quarter candidate” field without having to create a super long “IF” formula (I want to update this table without having to update the formula everytime I add a new quarter candidate to the list)My goal : in an other base each new entry have the current date added to it, according to this date, I want to have a field with the right quarter candidate because the date is after the “input start date” and before the “Input end date” Thanks for your help !

URL to record in Interface that works on iPhone

Hi!I’m writing a script that will create a QR code that you can scan to open a record. It works to open in the data view without issue. But I need to have it go to an Interface.If I open an interface on the desktop browser then right click on a record, then click on "copy device URL", that URL will work on the iPhone. I can paste that URL into a note and when I click it, it opens the Airtable app and goes directly to the record in the Interface. Exactly what I want.The catch is, that URL has a bunch of extra base64 encoded stuff. I can’t figure out how to get the elementId , queryContainerId , and savedFilterSetId. Using this partly redacted URL for example:https://airtable.com/appXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pagLAWnn0AqECV5AG?detail=eyJwYWdlSWQiOiJwYWdZdkdwVG1VbXZ4eURpYyIsInJvd0lkIjoicmVjMktQeGpvbHpxc0dkV1QiLCJzaG93Q29tbWVudHMiOmZhbHNlLCJxdWVyeU9yaWdpbkhpbnQiOnsidHlwZSI6InBhZ2VFbGVtZW50IiwiZWxlbWVudElkIjoicGVsRHhZVTlPOFp3T3draTgiLCJxdWVyeUNvbnRhaW5lcklkIjoicGVsM0ltR0tBOVpQRmhqVEoiLCJzYXZlZEZpbHRlclN

How to add a table to an interface

Hi everyone!I have created an interface to keep me organized, and one thing I would like to add is a table that would function like the data side, just within the Interface. For my specific example, I have various groups I invite to events, and it would be helpful to have a table with the group name, group contact, and then a checkbox for when I’ve contacted them. My interface is a “Record Review” interface.Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Any help is appreciated!
