Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know
About Migrating from Make.

Why do Make.com operations add up so fast?

In Make (formerly Integromat), every single module step in a scenario counts as a separate operation. A single workflow that parses a lead, checks a sheet, iterates 5 rows, and sends an email consumes 8 to 10 operations per run. At 500 leads a month, that burns 5,000 operations fast!

Can custom Google Apps Script replace complex Make scenarios?

Yes! Apps Script is full JavaScript. Any logic built with Make routers, iterators, and aggregators can be written cleanly in native code with zero module execution fees.

How do we migrate our existing Make scenarios to Apps Script?

We audit your existing Make scenario flows, map out the triggers and API endpoints, and rewrite the logic directly into native Google Apps Script inside your Workspace account.

What happens if an external API fails?

Unlike low-code tools that halt silently or burn extra retry operations, we engineer custom error handling, exponential backoff retries, and automated Slack/email alerts directly into your code.
