In Make, credits and operations are related but distinct concepts. Operations count the activities performed in your scenarios, while credits are what you pay for those activities. Understanding both helps you better manage your Make usage. 

Learn more about credit and operations in these articles:

Learn what operations are, how modules process data through bundles, and how to view them for debugging and optimization

Key concepts

A safety feature that saves unfinished scenario runs when errors occur, preventing data loss. Stored in the Incomplete Executions tab, you can retry automatically, resolve manually, or delete them. Disabled by default, enable it in Scenario settings.

Error handlers act as a safety net that catches unexpected failures to prevent your scenarios from failing. They allow you to define exactly how the system should react, such as by retrying the task, ignoring the mistake, or rolling back changes.

error_handler

The Rollback error handler stops a scenario and reverts changes made by modules that support transactions to ensure data remains consistent when an error occurs.

Rollback

An automated workflow within the Make platform. You build it by connecting modules together, and it runs based on a trigger you set up.

scenario

a list or sequence of characters (like letters, numbers, and symbols) used to represent text in a computer programming.

string

An operation is a single module run to process data or check for new data. 

Credits (formerly operations) are the currency for running scenarios.

A route is a path that data can flow through in a scenario, visualized as the dotted lines between modules.
