What are transactions and how do they affect Plan selection?

A transaction is the result of an automation, i.e. a successfully worked out step of an automation (creation of an entity in a third-party system, the result of a tool).

In other words, it is the unit you spend when you successfully complete the steps in the automation. The first step does not spend a transaction. Spending begins with the second step, regardless of where the action takes place - in a third-party service or in Albato.

Example: you need to transfer leads from Facebook to Google Tables and Telegram. To transfer one lead, you need two transactions: the first is to send one lead and create a row in the table. The second is to pass the lead to Telegram.

  • Running an automation will produce one transaction less than the number of steps it consists of. In our case, the scheme is Facebook - Google Sheets - and Telegram. 3 steps, but only 2 transactions will be debited.
