Character count in Podio chat: Users will not be able to add extra character after 1000 count. This applies to both typed and copy/paste messages.
- Direct input: Users will no longer be able to type characters in Podio chat messages after reaching the 1000 character limit and the 1000 character count will also be shown on the input placeholder in the chat.
- Copy/Paste messages: If a user copies a message and pastes it in the chat placeholder, the message will be truncated once the character limit is reached.
- API-based error message: If a user posts a message in the Podio chat which is of greater than 1000 characters, then an error message will be displayed in the chat.
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.
