General recommendations to improve speed and performance of your apps:
- Items: We have a limit of 500,000 items in one app
- Fields: We recommend maximum 100 fields in one app
- Date fields: We do not recommend using the calendar view "show in calendar" date field option for large apps. If you are creating an app planned for many items, make sure to uncheck the "show in calendar" option for the date field. Removing the items from the calendar will improve the performance of your app.
- Apps: Adding a large number of fields and calculation fields will decrease the performance of your app and make it run slower. Maximum 500,000 items per app.
Podio Workflow Automation:
- 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.
- Max Characters in a Variable: 65,535
