Re: Cannot use webhook due to the limitations on how many you can use. sometimes our users are entering or modifying 20+ lines at a time
That is not a limitation. Just use an ACTION ( which is really webhooks for dummies - so I will go dummies any time I can)
Have the Action do the update on the record being edited.
You will see that it is not obvious how to get an Action to edit the record you are on.
"no problem"
Just create a report links field and configure record ID on the left and navigate on the right to the same app, same table, same Record ID# field.
Then use that for the Report Link in the Action. Just be sure to set the conditions for the Action so it does not get into a loop and keep firing based on it's own edits.
