Hi everyone!
In Airtable Interfaces, is there a way to restrict comment notifications / @mentions so that only Admins can be mentioned (or only Admins receive the notifications)?
We want interface users to be able to leave notes, but ensure that @mentions/notifications go only to our Admin team.
Any best practices or recommended workaround (permissions vs automations) would be appreciated. Thanks!

An alternative idea would be to create your own commenting and tagging system by creating another table of comments that you can link to the main record, and using User fields to tag people that should receive notifications.

Interface only users will not receive this notifications otherweise, which is a big issue as a pig aspect of interfaces is limit what data can be accessed by whom.
