The best way to understand Make is to try it yourself! This guide will walk you through creating your first Make scenario—an automated workflow that will send notifications to a sales team. By the end, you'll understand Make's core concepts and be ready to build your own scenarios. 

:::hint{type="info"}
A scenario is a series of modules that indicate how data should be transferred and transformed between apps/services. In Make, each [team](docId\:btahAzLP8hMLnPlpMTblN) can create up to 100 scenarios per day. Each scenario has a size limit of 2 MB.

### What you'll build

You'll create a notification system that bridges the gap between marketing and sales teams. Imagine this business challenge: your marketing team adds new prospects to a spreadsheet, and your sales team needs immediate notifications.

Your Make scenario will:

- Monitor a Google Sheet for new prospect entries by the marketing team.
- Send Slack notifications to the sales team when new prospects are added.

### What you'll need

- A Make account ([Create one here](https://www.make.com/en/register))
- A Slack account and workspace ([Sign up for Slack](https://slack.com/get-started))
- A Google account ([Create an account](https://accounts.google.com/signup))

All these accounts are free to create, including a Make account. While this guide uses Slack and Google Sheets, you can adapt these steps to work with your preferred applications.

Here's a preview of what your finished scenario will look like:
