> # Hey Makers 👋
>
> I’m super excited to introduce three new powerful features to give you even more control, flexibility, and reach to your scenarios
## Scenario Inputs
🟣 **What are they?**
With Scenario inputs, you get to define your data structure and add inputs to easily run your scenarios. This makes scenarios more dynamic and allows even non-technical folks to run complex automations by simply filling in a few data inputs.
Any values of scenario inputs defined for the scenario can be used anywhere in the scenario including mapping data, filters, and in combination with functions.
_Scenario inputs are available in the Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans._
🟣 **Why use them?**
- To easily set up dynamic scenarios and create specific user-guided inputs.
- To test different scenario behaviors based on diverse data sets.
- To empower all business users to execute complex scenarios by simply adding inputs.
🟣 **When to use them?**
This all certainly does sound great. But what about some specific situations in which scenario inputs might come in handy?
By providing a specific set of inputs, you can:
- sync information about a new prospect in your CRM
- automatically create a new invoice, and order
- onboard new employees and automatically create accounts for them in multiple systems (e.g. Slack, JIRA, Workday, Miro etc.)
## On-Demand Scheduling
🟣 **What is it?**
With on-demand scheduling, your scenarios can be listed as “Active” and only triggered via an authorized API call or by clicking “Run Once” in Make.
_On-demand scheduling is available on all plans._
🟣 **Why use it?**
This enables ad-hoc company-wide scenarios to be managed and organized more effectively.
## Run Scenarios via API
🟣 **What is it?**
It’s a flexible, secure, and easy way to execute scheduled scenarios via an API.
_Run Scenario via API is available on all paid plans: Core, Pro, Teams, and Enterprise._
🟣 **Why use it?**
Thanks to this feature, you can now initiate a scenario that is normally scheduled to run every day to:
- immediately execute via the API (similar to logging in and clicking “run once”)
or
- combine this capability with the “On Demand scheduling “ to only execute a scenario via an authorized API call

Exciting new features (especially Run Scenarios via API and On-Demand Scheduling). I’m curious what the long-term plan is for Scenario Inputs though. To me, this seems like a sort of “internal” form functionality. For my team, we’d rather just use a dedicated form solution so we can publish external links to the form, or we’d just rather use webhooks from other applications as a trigger.
Wondering if I’m missing the long-play here!
