Action Flow fails or sends it incomplete when more than 500 Emails are involved to be send out

Hey Celopeers Community, We have created an Action Flow to send emails out to external customers. The testing works fine for an amount of Emails around 350. The moment we go above the number of 500 Emails, the Action Flow fails (even when the run time is below 40min) or not all Emails are sent out properly.Have any of you had that problem already? It would be great if you could share how you solved it or if you implemented a work around. Thanks in advance.Cheers, Lisa

What is the best way to expose the specific result of an automation in a view?

We have form set-up where the user can enter multiple input fields. Ones the form get submitted via a button component we want to tigger an automation, which automates multiple actions. Along the automation there could be multiple reasons why it's failing. Goal is to expose to the user once the form was submitted if the automation was successful or not. If it was not success due to some predefined business criteria e.g. "exceeded a limit" we want to expose this to the end user. What is the best way to do that?

How do you pull DISTINCT row values when querying a data model to create a CSV file?

I've created an action flow (pictured below) and have queried data based on an analysis I've built. When creating an analysis you have the option in the table for Distinct Values however obviously that's not an option in Action Flows. How can I ensure the data I'm pulling is only showing distinct values?

Is it possible to set variables for an analysis in the "Create Pfd Report" module

Hi there,I have an analysis, that can be dynamically adapted with the help of variables, and I would like to create an Action flow (or skill) that sends a pdf Report of the analysis in different configurations. While the "Create PDF Report" module has an option to set filters, I was unable to find a way to set variables for the analysis.As a workaround i currently create copies of the analysis/sheets, save them in the desired state and use them to create the pdf. However, I would appreciate if someone knows a cleaner solution. Best regards,Joshua

Microsoft 365 Excel in Action flow - After creating a table in an action flow, how do I name the columns? When I create a table, the columns are named Column1, Column2, Column3 etc.

Microsoft 365 Excel in Action flow - After creating a table in an action flow, how do I name the columns? When I create a table, the columns are named Column1, Column2, Column3 etc. I am able to fill the rows with data from the Celonis Query but it would be great to name the columns. "Update Worksheet row" does not work for the first row, where the headers are and even if I select Table has no header. Add worksheet row requires a table on the sheet, so it does not allow me to change the top row. What can I do?

Variables - central repository across Action Flows

Hi, Is there a way I can have a central repository of variable that can be used across Action Flows? Ex : I may have a variable with a 'Client ID' - I'd like the same client id to be used across multiple packages/Action Flows.  How can I achieve this? I see there options within an Action Flow to 'Set Variable' -but that is just for that specific Action Flow - and not something that can be shared with other Action Flows. Thanks,Bhasker
