Monitoring & Credits
The Monitor section gives you visibility into everything running in your workspace: workflow executions, credit consumption, error rates, and system health.
Monitor dashboard
Access monitoring from the Monitor section in the left sidebar. The dashboard shows:
Execution overview
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total executions | Number of workflow runs in the selected time period |
| Success rate | Percentage of executions that completed without errors |
| Failed executions | Count of executions that errored out |
| Average duration | Mean execution time across all workflows |
Execution history
A chronological list of all workflow runs with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Workflow | Which workflow ran |
| Status | Success, Failed, or Running |
| Started at | When the execution began |
| Duration | How long it took |
| Trigger | What initiated the run (webhook, schedule, manual, etc.) |
| Credits | How many credits this execution consumed |
Click any execution to see the full step-by-step trace: which nodes ran, what data flowed between them, and where errors occurred (see Execution History).
Credit usage
Every workflow step uses 1 credit, and a few data-heavy steps (AI agents, search, scraping, SEO and enrichment) use more. Monitor credit usage in Monitor → Credit Usage.
Credit costs by category
| Category | Node | Credits each time it runs |
|---|---|---|
| All steps | Flow control, integrations, database, Send Email to Yourself | 1 |
| AI | Agent, Tiny Scout, Tiny Composer | 10 |
| AI | Tiny Search | 10 |
| AI | TinyGPT, Tiny GPT Writer, Tiny GPT Researcher | At least 1 |
| Scraping | Scrape Page, Extract Data, Map URLs | 2 |
| Scraping | Crawl Site | 2 per page crawled |
| Scraping | Web Search | 2 per result returned |
| Vision | Extract Text, Read PDF, Extract Table, Extract Fields, Ask Document, Classify | At least 1 |
| Enrichment | Company Enrichment, Email Enrichment | 10 |
| Enrichment | Person Enrichment | 20 |
A step that errors still uses 1 credit. See Credits & Usage for SEO step prices and TinyTables costs.
Usage breakdown
The Credit Usage page shows:
- Remaining and used: credits left and credits consumed
- Forecast: how long your balance lasts at your current daily average
- Usage by Product: which products used your credits
- Daily Credit Consumption: credit usage over time
- Recent Credit Activity: the latest credit charges
Managing credit costs
| Strategy | How |
|---|---|
| Add early filters | Put If-Else nodes before AI nodes to skip processing for irrelevant data |
| Cache results | Store AI results in a database. Check cache before calling AI again for the same input. |
| Batch wisely | A For Each loop with 100 items and a Person Enrichment node uses about 2,000 credits (20 x 100), plus 1 credit per other step in each iteration |
| Use the right node | Company Enrichment (10 credits) is cheaper than Person Enrichment (20 credits). Only look up people when you need person-level data. |
| Test with samples | During development, limit batch sizes to 5-10 items |
Error monitoring
Error types
| Error type | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Connection error | Integration auth expired or API is down | Re-authorize in Build → App Authorizations |
| Rate limit | Too many API calls to an external service | Add Delay nodes between requests |
| Timeout | A node took too long to respond | Check the external service; consider retries |
| Validation error | Input data doesn't match expected format | Add data validation before the failing node |
| Credit exhaustion | Out of credits | Upgrade plan or wait for next billing cycle |
Setting up error alerts
You can add error handling to any workflow to get notified when things go wrong:
Any node → Error branch → Send Email to Yourself (HIGH priority) + Slack (#alerts)
See Error Handling for details on configuring error branches and retry logic.
Workflow health indicators
On the main Workflows list, each workflow shows health indicators:
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green dot | All recent executions succeeded |
| Yellow dot | Some recent executions failed (intermittent issues) |
| Red dot | Most recent executions are failing |
| Gray dot | Workflow is paused or hasn't run recently |
Set up a "meta-workflow" that runs daily, checks your credit balance via the Monitor, and sends you a Slack alert when credits drop below 20% of your monthly allowance.
Credit-consuming nodes still cost credits during test runs. Use the Test tab on individual nodes during development to avoid running the full workflow repeatedly.
