Rate limits

Our Make integration is intended to be used for personal automation. It is not intended for high-volume automations across enterprises. If you are looking for high-volume solutions, please contact our support. To prevent abuse, the following limits are applied to our Make integration:

Per Minute Limit: You've got 60 requests every minute – that's 3,600 an hour!
Keep an Eye on Your Usage: Watch the x-vs-rate-limit-remaining header to see your available requests.
Oops, Hit a Limit? Just take a minute-long break. If you hit the limit more than 10 times in an hour, your Make key will be deactivated.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I specify a YouTube title using the Make Integration?

A: No, at this time, the 'Title' field is not available with our Make integration. This suggestion is on our feedback board, and we encourage you to add your vote and engage with other customers requesting similar features.

Q: Do I need to pay extra to use Zapier or Make?

A: No. If you are on the Advanced or Enterprise plan, Zapier and Make are already included. There’s no additional cost for these integrations.

Q: Do I need the API add-on to use Zapier or Make?

A: No. Zapier and Make do not require the API add-on. As long as you are on the Advanced or Enterprise plan, you can use them without purchasing the API add-on.
