Make.com scenario stopped firing — how to diagnose it
Quick answer
A Make scenario usually stops because it hit an error and was disabled, an expired connection/token broke the trigger, the operations or data-transfer limit ran out, or the webhook/app that starts it stopped sending. Since downstream systems just go quiet, orders or leads pile up unsynced; the fix is to check the scenario's history for the error, reconnect or re-enable it, and monitor that it keeps running.
Symptoms
- Orders, leads, or records stop syncing to your other tools
- The scenario shows as inactive or errored in Make
- A connection shows "reauthorize" or an expired token
- Operations ran out mid-cycle and the scenario paused
Common causes
- An unhandled error auto-disabled the scenario
- An expired OAuth connection or rotated API key broke a module
- The monthly operations or data-transfer limit was exhausted
- The upstream webhook/app stopped sending the trigger event
How to check
- 1.Open the scenario's History and read the last failed execution's error
- 2.Check every connection for an expired/reauthorize state
- 3.Confirm your Make plan hasn't hit its operations limit
- 4.Send a manual test trigger to see whether the scenario still runs
How to fix it
1. Read the last error
The scenario History shows exactly which module failed and why — an expired connection, a changed field, or a rate limit. Start there.
2. Reconnect and re-enable
Reauthorize the broken connection or fix the failing module, then turn the scenario back on and run a manual test.
3. Handle errors and limits
Add error handling so one bad record doesn't disable the whole scenario, and confirm your operations plan matches your volume.
4. Monitor execution
Watch that the scenario keeps executing on schedule so a silent stop is caught in hours — not when unsynced orders pile up.

Protect your storeFrequently asked questions
Why did my Make scenario turn itself off?
Make disables a scenario after repeated unhandled errors — commonly an expired connection, a changed data field, or a hit rate limit. The scenario History names the failing module and the exact error.
How do I stop scenarios from silently breaking?
Add error handlers so a single bad record doesn't disable the whole scenario, keep connections fresh, and monitor execution so a stop is caught fast rather than discovered from missing downstream data.
Does Liulum watch Make and Zapier automations?
Yes — Liulum's automation monitoring tracks whether your Make, Zapier, and n8n workflows keep executing and alerts you when one stops firing, so broken order sync or fulfilment is caught in hours.
