To ensure uninterrupted workflow execution, it's important to proactively manage your API credit usage within the Picsart platform. Here are a few best practices:
-
Subscribe to a suitable plan:
Choose a subscription plan that matches your average monthly usage. This helps avoid frequent credit shortages and gives you predictable budgeting. -
Enable Overdraft/Overage:
Picsart Enterprise customers can enable overdraft or overage usage, allowing scenarios to continue running even after exceeding the allocated credits. Contact your Picsart account manager or support team to set this up. -
Use Monitoring Scenarios in Make:
Set up a Make scenario that runs daily (or more frequently) to:-
Check your current credit balance via the Picsart API.
-
Send an email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams notification to your team when your credits fall below a defined threshold (e.g., 90%).
-
-
Trigger One-Time Purchases in Advance:
If your account supports API-triggered credit top-ups or if you're working with a flexible billing plan, you can automate one-time purchases using HTTP modules in Make to prevent workflow interruptions.
These proactive steps help you maintain reliable and continuous operations, especially in production environments.
