  • Card layout: 100 cards. The first 100 cards in the view you choose are shown. More filters are required to reduce the number of items shown.
  • Tasks: 50 tasks shown on an item.
  • Excel export/import: 20,000 rows. To import more than 20,000 rows, break your spreadsheet into multiple imports. To export more than 20,000 rows, use filters and export in pieces.
  • Item revisions: 5,000 revisions (excluding calculation field changes).

  • Calendar export: 1,000 future events.
  • Map fields: 250 maps per user per day (due to the Google API limit). This limit also applies when importing items from Excel.
  • Invites: To prevent spam, we have the following limits for each user for each day:
    • Send messages to 5 email addresses, if the emails aren’t already on Podio.
    • Share items with 25 email addresses, if the emails aren’t already on Podio.
    • Create tasks for 10 email addresses, if the emails aren’t already on Podio.
    • Invite up to 100 email addresses, if the emails aren’t already on Podio.
  • Comments: 2,500 comments on an individual item.
  • File Attachments: 200 files attached to a single item or task.
  • Notifications: 10 notifications for a specific reference in a 2-hour period.

General recommendations to improve speed and performance of your apps:

  • Items: We recommend maximum 500,000 items in one app.
  • Fields: We recommend maximum 100 fields in one app.
  • Date fields: We don’t recommend using the calendar view show in calendar date field option for large apps. If you’re creating an app planned for many items, clear the show in calendar option for the date field. Removing the items from the calendar improves performance of your app.
  • Apps: Adding many fields and calculation fields decreases the performance of your app and makes it run slower.
  • GlobiFlow automations:
    • Flows: 8000 flows per account. We recommend careful clean-up and deletion of flows no longer in use.
    • Actions: 5,000,000 actions per month. Review and optimize flows in order not to run duplicate automation actions.
