Solving the Make.com Scenario Disabled Issue

Have you ever experienced a scenario where your Make.com services were temporarily unavailable, and your scenario got disabled? If so, you're not alone. This is a common issue that many Make.com users face. But don't worry, there's a solution to this problem.

Understanding the Problem

When a service is temporarily unavailable, Make.com disables the scenario. This can be frustrating, especially if the scenario is working fine and the service is just not available temporarily. The scenario gets disabled even if there's a real development error, which is normal. But when the service is temporarily unavailable, it would be better if the scenario was paused instead of being disabled.

The Solution

Instead of disabling the scenario, it would be more beneficial to pause the scenario for a certain amount of time and use the queue system to rollback and save the input once it fails again. This way, you won't lose the data for a run.

Rollback is not the same as incomplete. Incomplete tries a few times and once the retries are done and all failed, it's gone. But with rollback, it stays in the input queue and will only be gone if the run was successful.

This way, everything stays running if something fails in the middle of the night and once the services are back up, everything will just continue to run.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your scenario gets disabled, don't panic. Check if the service is temporarily unavailable. If it is, wait for a while until the service is back up. Once the service is back up, your scenario should start running again.

Conclusion

While it can be frustrating when your scenario gets disabled due to a service being temporarily unavailable, there's a solution to this problem. By pausing the scenario and using the queue system to rollback and save the input, you can ensure that your scenario continues to run even when a service is temporarily unavailable.
