Automation glossary

Scenario

A scenario is a Make automation composed of modules that transfer and transform data according to a configured schedule or trigger.

In plain language

It is Make’s name for the complete visual workflow, including routes, filters, error handling, and connections.

Example

A Make scenario watches for new orders, iterates through their items, and creates fulfillment records.

Common misconception

A scenario is not necessarily a hypothetical plan; in Make it is an executable automation.

Implementation guidance

Name modules and routes clearly, constrain schedules, configure error handlers and incomplete executions, and record ownership and dependencies.
