Make Monthly Roundup — August 2025

Highlights at a glance

• Credits are live (Aug 27): “Operations” are now Credits (1:1 conversion). Plan pricing unchanged; some built‑in AI features may consume dynamic credits depending on usage. Track usage in the Dashboard, Scenarios, Builder and History.

• OpenAI modules updated: Support for GPT‑5 and longer inputs; new Download a container file module; code interpreter tool choice.

• AI Agents get Context modules: Add/replace/delete context files for an Agent directly inside a scenario, no more manual uploads for every update.

• Google Sheets add‑on returns: Reconnect Sheets↔Make via the official add‑on from the Workspace Marketplace to run scenarios without leaving Sheets.

• New apps & tweaks: Zoho WorkDrive (new), ADP Workforce Now (Enterprise‑only), monday.com new item modules, Microsoft Teams message attachments via OneDrive link, Klaviyo OAuth, Trello module rename, Runway image generation.

Tip: You can always scan the month here: Help Center → Release notes → 2025.

What changed

1) Billing: Credits replace Operations (Aug 27)

• 1 operation ≙ 1 credit; existing balances auto‑converted.

• Plan pricing stays the same; some built‑in AI features may use dynamic credits (e.g., by tokens/file size/runtime).

• Where to see usage: Dashboard widgets, Scenario pages (per-scenario/per-run), Builder (per‑module), and Execution History.

Why it matters: Better alignment of cost to actual usage (esp. AI). If you budget by operations today, switch your internal tracking to credits and annotate any scenarios using Make’s built‑in AI.

2) OpenAI, Runway and more (Aug 26 & Aug 8)

• OpenAI modules: GPT‑5 support; longer inputs; higher quality outputs.

• New OpenAI module: Download a container file.

• Runway: new Generate an image module.

• Zoho WorkDrive app added; Zoho CRM/Invoice full zone support.

Why it matters: If you’re doing AI‑assisted flows (summarization, classification, content gen), test GPT‑5 in a staging scenario to compare token/credit impact vs model quality.

3) AI Agents: Context modules (Aug 14)

• Manage Agent context inside a scenario: add, update, retrieve, delete files or plain text.

• Keep your Agent’s “memory” fresh without visiting the side‑panel config.

Why it matters: Great for knowledge that changes often (SOPs, product catalogs, FAQs). Automate context refreshes rather than manual uploads.

4) Google Sheets add‑on is back (Aug 8)

• Install from Google Workspace Marketplace.

• Run scenarios and send/receive data without leaving Sheets.

Why it matters: Non‑technical teammates can kick off or monitor flows from a familiar UI.

Tip of the Month — Auto‑refresh your Agent’s context from Drive

Keep your AI Agent grounded in the latest docs.

When a file in a designated Google Drive folder changes, update the Agent’s context automatically.

1. Trigger: Google Drive → Watch files in a folder (or Poll search by updated date).

2. Get file: Google Drive → Get a file (binary + metadata).

3. Replace context: Make AI Agents → Replace context files (or Add context if new). Map the file’s name and binary data.

4. (Optional) Notify: Microsoft Teams/Slack → Post a message with a link to the file and Agent name.

5. (Optional) Versioning: Keep a Data Store of file checksums to avoid unnecessary replacements.

Bonus: For markdown/HTML docs, you can also store “plain text” context and reserve file uploads for media or PDFs.
