Add Features for Forcing Automation Stop and Displaying End Time

[poohyeou]

When an automation uses a repeated group, it can run for an extended period of time. Currently, there is no option to forcefully stop the automation midway, leaving users waiting for it to finish.

Additionally, while the automation history displays the start time, it does not show the end time, making it difficult to determine the total runtime.

It would be highly beneficial to provide the end time and total elapsed time in the automation history to enhance usability and monitoring capabilities.

Yes, this is a great feature request. My clients have often wanted the ability to stop runaway automations!

In the meantime, until Airtable offers this, you can get BOTH of the features you outlined above (i.e. stopping automations & seeing length of automation run) with Make’s advanced automations for Airtable. If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread.
