Reporting help

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I cannot get extended reports on our credit usage. Reporting seems to be limited to 30 days. Reports should be downloadable. We want alerts for excessive or unusual credit consumption. Does such a thing exist?

The categories and tags do not list options for administrative or reporting from what we can see. Please advise. Thank you.

:thinking: What is the problem?

Reporting is very limited from what we can see.

Hey there @Chris_Popovic,

Welcome to the Make Community! Great to have you with us.

You can read all about reports of your credit usage in our Help Center here.

Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Also, credit usage is well accessible using API, for example using

So you can build a lot to track abnormalities and react instantly.

Why do I need an API to send me alerts? There should be an option to set a limit on a process per day/month whatever, along with a “not to exceed.” This is a simple thing to employ. Scenarios can easily chew up many credits. You don’t know how many until it’s built and runs. Billing and operations should have an easy method to monitor and control. If I didn’t know any better, it seems like Make isn’t interested in making that easy to communicate.

You will get a notification when you are almost out of credits or when credits have ran out. Why would you limit executions of, what might be business critical scenarios, based on a daily limit..

Yes, I understand that when the “bucket” of credits is about to run out, we’ll get a notice. What isn’t available is when a process is using a large amount of credits. We have dozens and dozens of processes. We had one “rogue” process that was stuck in a loop, eating tens of thousands of credits needlessly. There should be a way to cap how many credits any one process uses, or some type of alert if it’s using unusually high credits. Without that, one bad process can chew up all the credits with the administrator not knowing about it until it’s far too late.

Hey Chris,

Totally understand where you’re going with this. I’d recommend that you go to our Idea Exchange board and submit your suggestion there. Other users can then vote for your idea and make it more visible. Our Product team regularly reviews the list and takes suggestions from our community.

Don’t forget to search for this feature before you submit it - it’s definitely smarter to upvote an idea that already exists!

Thanks :folded_hands:

Dumb question but where the heck is the link to the Idea Exchange? Don’t see it her and can’t find it after logging in. Nothing in the help menu from what I can see.

Hey there,

Totally valid, sorry for not pasting the link in my previous reply. Here it is: https://www.make.com/en/how-idea-exchange-works :smiley:!
