Today I hit my maximum number of automations which is 25 in case you are unaware as I was. It would be great if there was a way to upgrade that number with a fee. Or if the limit was a bit higher. Of if there was a "you have x number automations left’ message so I wasn’t to be caught unaware.
Unfortunately my master plan of fully automating my use cases cannot be implemented as I had hoped. I’ll figure out a work around but I have to admit I am severely disappointed.
Yep, it’s a real problem.
And what’s even worse is the maximum number of RUNS per month per workspace.
Once you exceed your number of runs in a month, you can’t run ANY of your automations until the next month! You can’t even pay for more runs in your current month! So any automations that your business might depend on will effectively be shutdown until the following month. You literally have to wait around until the next month before you can use your automations again.
For now, until Airtable fixes all of this, if people are doing a LOT of automations in a month, I would recommend that people use Integromat’s Automations instead of Airtable’s Automations. It has none of the limitations of Airtable’s Automations, and it is significantly more advanced as well because it is an entire platform dedicated to automations.
