Team operations in Make.com

Efficient collaboration in make.com depends on how well you organize scenarios, document changes, and control operations usage across your team. This how-to guide walks you step by step through using notes, folders, roles, and operations limits so your workspace stays clear, auditable, and cost-effective.

Understand notes and version history in make.com

Notes let you document scenarios and record why changes were made. When used systematically, they create a simple audit trail and help team members understand automation logic quickly.

Add and manage notes in make.com scenarios

Use notes to record the purpose, logic, and status of each scenario before you enable or modify it.

1. Open the scenario you want to document.

2. Locate the notes panel or description area in the scenario editor.

3. Add clear information, such as:

   • Scenario goal and business owner

   • Key apps and data flows involved

   • Known limitations or assumptions

   • Contact person for questions

4. Save your scenario so the notes are stored and visible for the team.

Keep notes concise and up to date. Update them whenever you change filters, add modules, or adjust scheduling.

Track scenario changes with notes in make.com

To keep a reliable change history, add a small entry to the notes every time you update a scenario.

Include details like:

• Date of the change

• Teammate who made the change

• What was changed and why

• Impact on operations or external systems

Over time this creates a simple, human-readable log that complements any built-in revision or execution history in make.com.

Organize scenarios and data with folders in make.com

Folders help you separate personal experiments from production automations and keep shared assets easy to find. This is essential when multiple people work inside the same organization.

Create shared folders for team scenarios in make.com

Use dedicated folders for live workflows, tests, and templates.

1. From your dashboard, open the scenarios or assets section.

2. Create a new folder and give it a clear name, for example:

   • “Production – CRM and Billing”

   • “Marketing Experiments”

   • “Shared Templates – Onboarding”

3. Move relevant scenarios into these folders so everyone can locate them quickly.

4. Use naming conventions that indicate status, such as [LIVE], [TEST], or [DEPRECATED].

Separate personal work from team assets in make.com

To avoid confusion and accidental edits, keep personal or draft scenarios in a private space and only move them into a shared folder when they are ready for team review.

Typical structure:

• My workspace – personal tests, prototypes, learning exercises

• Team shared – reviewed and documented processes the team relies on

Set roles and responsibilities in make.com

Clear roles make it easier to protect production scenarios and ensure that only trained users can change sensitive workflows.

Define user roles and permissions

Assign permissions according to what each team member needs to do in make.com.

• Admin or Owner: Can manage billing, operations limits, and global settings.

• Editor: Can create and modify scenarios within assigned folders.

• Viewer: Can see scenarios, run logs, and notes but cannot change logic.

Apply the principle of least privilege, giving each user only the access required to perform their role.

Protect production workflows in make.com

To reduce the risk of interruptions:

• Limit edit access on production folders to experienced maintainers.

• Require peer review before enabling new or updated production scenarios.

• Document who is the owner or maintainer of each critical scenario in the notes field.

Manage team-level operations usage in make.com

Operations are consumed each time a module runs in a scenario. For teams, tracking and controlling total usage is key to staying within plan limits and preventing unexpected costs.

Review operations consumption in make.com

Regularly monitor operations usage at organization or team level.

1. Go to your organization or subscription overview.

2. Locate the operations or usage dashboard.

3. Filter usage by scenario, folder, or time period if available.

4. Identify scenarios with unusually high or rapidly growing consumption.

Once you have this visibility, you can decide where to optimize or apply limits.

Set operations budgets and limits in make.com

Use operations limits to prevent a single scenario from using more than its share of your monthly allowance.

1. Select the scenario you want to control.

2. Open its settings or advanced options.

3. Set a maximum number of operations for a given period, such as per month.

4. Define what should happen when the limit is reached, for example:

   • Pause the scenario automatically

   • Send a notification to admins

Apply lower limits on experimental or high-risk automations and higher limits on critical business workflows that must stay running.

Optimize scenarios to reduce operations in make.com

After identifying heavy scenarios, adjust them to run more efficiently.

• Use filters early in the flow to process fewer items.

• Batch operations where possible instead of handling each record individually.

• Adjust scheduling so scenarios run only as often as needed.

• Archive or disable obsolete workflows that still consume operations.

Establish team standards for make.com usage

Documented rules ensure everyone uses the platform in a consistent way and helps new teammates onboard faster.

Create a team playbook for make.com

Your internal playbook can include:

• Naming conventions for folders, scenarios, and templates

• Required note structure (e.g., Purpose, Owner, Last Updated, Dependencies)

• Approval flow for production changes

• Default operations limits by scenario type

• Escalation steps when an automation fails or hits its operations cap

Review the playbook regularly and update it as you adopt new features.
