“Rate limit your scenarios, before they rate limit you!”
Make scenarios empower you with incredible speed, but to optimize interactions with external services that have their own rate limitations, fine-tuning is key. We’re excited to announce a new capability that puts you in the driver’s seat: Scenario Rate Limits!
This new feature gives you granular control over how many executions of your instant scenarios can start per minute, ensuring smoother interactions with third-party applications.
Key Benefits
-
Smooths Out Spikes: Prevents external services from being overwhelmed by instantly distributing bursts of requests from your scenarios, even when dealing with high volumes of incoming data.
-
Eliminates Rate Limit Errors: Proactively avoids those frustrating “Too Many Requests” (429) errors that can halt your scenarios and disrupt operations.
-
Protects Your (and ours
) Resources (Noisy Neighbor Solved!): Safeguard your other critical scenarios. By rate-limiting a specific scenario, you ensure it won’t prevent other scenarios from getting executed, promoting fair resource distribution across your Make organization. -
Seamless Error Recovery (Magic
): Works hand-in-hand with
Incomplete Executions. Even if your scenario encounters an unexpectedRateLimitError, Make will automatically queue and reprocess those missed executions for you. No need for extra error handling modules like ‘Break’ – it just works!
This powerful combination ensures your automations are not only fast but also robust and reliable.
