As a live app user, I want to be able to add an event to a calendar and have it trigger record rules, so that I can notify other users that an event has been added.
User Scenario: Event is added via calendar view, email notifications are sent that a new event is on the calendar.
This is needed so badly! Basically the great function on clicking on the Calendar to schedule something is useless in a multi user shared environment as you cant populate the shared user. We record rules for calendar events.
Maybe use the new popup option for forms to enable all the record, email and submit rules needed for this to work? That is, instead of the self-contained 'Add New Record' form within the calendar.
Ideally the calendar page shouldn't refresh, so the user is returned to the day/week/month being viewed prior to adding a new entry as well.
So now its 9 years later and there is still no way to run record rules when creating a calendar entry? Knack? Might you consider this at some stage before I retire?
As a workaround, you could consider a workflow automation tool such as Make/Integromat or Zapier. This will allow you to trigger any event / update in Knack or any other linked Cloud Application.
It does come at a cost, but I find Make very reasonable and it is more powerful than what could be triggered within record rules as it is not limited to operations within Knack.
