Quick Guide: Setting Up Make Scenario Notifications

Have you ever been in a situation where your active Make Scenario is automatically switched off, usually due to a logic failure in a Scenario Action? This can be quite frustrating, especially when you have several active scenarios, some of which are quite complex and still have bugs that need to be ironed out.

Problem

The problem here is that there is no way to define an event or trigger when any Active Make Scenario is automatically switched off in your Make account. This can lead to delays in resolving the issue as you may not be aware of the problem immediately.

Solution

But don't worry, there is a workaround for this. You can set up notifications about all errors and stops for email, create a special folder, and create a scenario that will watch for new mails and send the data to Slack. This way, you can get immediate notifications when a Scenario is switched off and can quickly investigate and resolve the issue.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Set up notifications about all errors and stops for email.
  2. Create a special folder in your email for these notifications.
  3. Create a scenario in Make that will watch for new mails in this folder.
  4. Set up this scenario to send the data to Slack whenever a new mail arrives.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble setting this up, make sure that you have correctly set up the email notifications and the special folder. Also, check that the scenario in Make is correctly set up to watch for new mails and send the data to Slack.

Conclusion

While it can be frustrating when your Active Make Scenario is automatically switched off, with this workaround, you can get immediate notifications and quickly resolve the issue. Remember, the quicker you get on to problems, the easier it is to resolve.
