Glossary


Scenario

A scenario is an automated workflow between your apps. For example, you may have a scenario that saves your Gmail attachments to Dropbox and another scenario that saves emails that you star in Gmail to a text file. Scenarios consist of at least two parts: a Trigger and one or more Actions.


Trigger

A Trigger is the event in an app that starts the Scenario. Once you set up a Scenario, Make will monitor the app for that Trigger. For the "Save Gmail attachments to Dropbox" example, you can receive a lot of emails through your Gmail account, but the Scenario is not triggered until an email contains an attachment.


Some examples of triggers for Teamleader Focus are:

  1. Created deal
  2. Paid invoice
  3. New contact
  4. Updated contact
  5. New company
  6. Updated company
  7. Won deal


Some examples of actions for Teamleader Focus are:

  1. Link a contact to a company
  2. Create contact
  3. Update contact
  4. Create company
  5. Update company
  6. Get contact info
  7. Create deal
  8. Get company info

Note: you can see the full list of possible actions and triggers by adding a step to your scenario, looking for Teamleader and clicking on it. An exhaustive list of the possibilities will be shown:


Action

The Action is the event that completes the Scenario. For the Gmail to Dropbox Scenario example, the action is saving the Gmail attachment to Dropbox.

Operation

Each piece of data you run through your Scenario counts as an operation. That means if your Scenario adds 100 emails to Dropbox automatically, your Scenario just performed 100 operations. Every operation your Scenario performs is another task that you don't have to do manually. It's important to keep in mind the number of operations your Scenarios run and how many Scenarios you have, because it helps determine which Scenario plan is best for you.
