How can I ensure my Make scenarios using Picsart don’t fail due to running out of credits?

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:

1. 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.

2. Buy additional credits: Purchase credits separately from your monthly or yearly subscription through your Picsart account.

3. 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%).

4. Plan purchases in advance: Notify the billing owner before credits run low. Review current options at picsart.com/pricing.

These proactive steps help you maintain reliable and continuous operations, especially in production environments.

Picsart plans and credits

Use your standard Picsart account with a Pro or Ultra plan. Compare monthly and yearly subscriptions on picsart.com/pricing. You can also buy additional credits separately from your subscription. Review the current allowance, price, and terms before purchasing. Your automation platform may charge its own subscription or usage fees.
