Scenario

noun · also: workflow, zap, trigger

What is scenario?

A scenario is Make's name for a single workflow — visual flow chart connecting triggers and actions.

Definition

Full definition of scenario

Make (formerly Integromat) uses "scenario" for what Zapier calls a Zap and Tiny Command calls a workflow. Make's scenarios are notable for the visual canvas — modules connected by arrows in a 2D layout — rather than linear step lists. Useful for branching, parallel paths, and complex data routing.

In practice

FAQ

Common questions about scenario

Make vs Zapier model — what's the practical difference?
Make is more visual and easier to express branching/parallelism. Zapier is more linear but has more integrations.
Can Tiny Command import Make scenarios?
No. Tiny Command has no Make importer, so scenarios are rebuilt as workflows, or our team can rebuild your setup for you (live within a week).
