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?
Partial support — basic linear flows, yes. Complex routing with multiple branches needs manual rebuild.
