automated alerts triggered by number of entries

Hi, I've been asked to help with a form.

They'd like to cap the number of entries at 100, and I'm not sure that can be automated.

They'd also like to receive alerts after 25, 50, 75, and 100 forms are submitted and new rows are added.

I see a way to get an alert after certain dates, but not in the number of entries.

Is this possible?

    You can't automatically turn a form off after a certain number of entries, but you can send alerts based on the number of entries by inserting an auto-number column and then basing your alerts off of that.
