Zapier Make Patterns
If you're building or debugging Zapier or Make automations, this gives you the patterns that separate working workflows from fragile disasters. It covers when to use which platform (Zapier for speed and integrations, Make for complex logic and budget), plus the critical mistakes that break automations: typing into dropdown fields instead of selecting values, skipping error handling, and hardcoding data. The sharp edges table is incomplete in the source, but the anti-patterns alone will save you from the most common ways these automations fail silently. Most valuable when you're deciding whether a workflow belongs in no-code or needs actual code.
