Hey there @juan_burstein :waving_hand:

Thank you for sharing this helpful video with us! :folded_hands:

Would you mind also sharing a short summary of the contents of the video? Unfortunately, not everybody has the option and time to watch it, and it would bea shame for other Makers not to know these tips.

Thanks!

Hey @vendy

Sure hereโ€™s a summary of the video:

  1. Filters โ€“ Learn how to prevent irrelevant data from going through by using filters, so only the tasks that matter trigger actions, saving operations.
  2. Aggregators โ€“ Discover how to combine multiple items into a single summary, like sending one email with all tasks due today instead of separate emails for each.
  3. Outside Processing โ€“ See how preprocessing data outside Make.com, such as unifying multiple spreadsheets, can reduce operations within your automations.
  4. Limits โ€“ Learn to set limits on the amount of data your scenario pulls, avoiding unnecessary processing and saving resources.
  5. Scheduling & Polling vs Instant Triggers โ€“ Understand how running scenarios at the right intervals (daily instead of every few minutes) can dramatically cut down operations, and when to use polling triggers versus instant triggers (webhooks) for real-time updates without wasting operations.
  6. AI Integration โ€“ See how to use AI modules effectively by choosing the right model, crafting precise prompts, and controlling token usage to save both operations and costs.
  7. Testing Tips โ€“ Learn how to test your automations efficiently by running individual modules, preventing unnecessary full scenario runs and saving operations.
