Loops table rules broken
When attempting to create a rule on a table in Loops, I get the following:
The "here" opens the Loop in a new tab. MS Support, through our corporate support, responded that the Loops product team was deprecating this feature and taking it out of the UI. There is a Power Automate trigger based on Loop triggers. The above seems unlikely unless there is a replacement in the works, such as using Power Automate. Does anyone know what gives here?
Why in the WORLD would they remove this? This is the one thing that will likely cause me to move to a different platform. This leaves us with the only way to ping people is using the @ function which is not at all ideal and is a manual process. What a joke.
It looks like the feature you're trying to use in Loops is being removed. Microsoft Support mentioned that the Loops product team is deprecating it. However, Power Automate might offer a replacement with triggers based on Loops. You might want to check if Power Automate can do what you need instead.
Considering this:
- Deprecation of Table Rules: Microsoft Support has indicated that the Loop product team is deprecating table rules and removing them from the UI. This aligns with your experience of being unable to create new rules.
- Power Automate as a Replacement: While table rules in Loop may be phased out, Power Automate offers triggers and workflows that could serve as an alternative. Power Automate allows you to create flows triggered by specific events, which might replicate or even enhance the functionality you were using in Loop.
- Troubleshooting: If you're still trying to use table rules, clearing your browser cache, reauthenticating accounts, or restarting Loop and Teams might help. However, if the feature is indeed being deprecated, these steps may not resolve the issue.
Power Automate has a single trigger that is based on a Loops table rule trigger, which will no longer exist. So, currently, Power Automate is no replacement.
