FAQ

What if there is no time set in the date column (for date with time feature)?

In such case, action will be trigger on a set date at 00:00 UTC.

When does the usage limit reset?

Usage resets at the beginning of each month. After purchasing a plan, you can use the full number of actions available for that plan, regardless of when in the month it was purchased. For example, if you buy a 1000-action plan on November 22, you can use up to 1000 actions until November 30. Then, on December 1, your usage will reset, allowing you to use another 1000 actions for the new month.

Will I get a notification when I’m close to reaching the limit for my plan?

Yes! We’ll email you when you’ve reached 80% of your usage limit and again when you reach 100%.
