Make.com connections

If you’re connecting Make.com, you’ll need your API token, Team ID, Organization ID, and Zone. See the Make.com Credentials guide for step‑by‑step instructions.

3) Import Scenarios (Blueprints)​

  1. From Blueprints (or Governance → Scenarios), click Import.
  2. Select your connection and pick scenarios to import.
  3. Click Import and wait for confirmation.

4) Validate and Fix​

  1. Open a blueprint and run Validate.
  2. Review findings; apply suggested fixes where available or note best‑practice guidance.
  3. Re‑run validation until no critical issues remain.

5) Monitor Alerts and Costs​

  1. Visit Alerts to view incident‑level notifications and clear resolved items.
  2. Visit Costs to review recent usage.

You’re Done When…​

  • Your connection shows Active
  • At least one scenario is imported and validated
  • You can view Alerts and Costs without errors

Common Pitfalls​

  • Authorization fails: try an incognito window and confirm the correct provider account.
  • No scenarios during import: verify the selected team/workspace on the provider.
  • Empty Alerts: confirm recent activity on the connected platform.
