Base-packs, Add-Ons, Upgrades: You need at least one base-pack. A base-pack contains a basic setup of features and limits. Add-Ons contain new steps, functions and features for creating flows and automations. Upgrades can be purchased to increase your limits when you have exceeded them.
Flow: is an executable automated process you create. It contains steps. A flow is comparable to receipe in a cookbook, containing instructions which are executed sequentially.
Connector-Steps read input-data or write output-data e.g. files, APIs and external systems. The number of Connector-Steps is limited depending on the base-pack. You can also purchase Upgrades to increase this limit. Other step-types (Processing) are NOT limited. Connector-Steps are marked with the symbol.
Examples: FTPDownload, FTPUpload, GetOrders, AddOrders, GetProducts, UpdateProductData, UpdateStock, ExcelWriter, ExcelReader, ExcelSheetUpdate etc. are typical Connector-Steps.
Exceptions are e.g.: CSVReader, CSVWriter, JSONReader, VisualJSONReader, HTMLParser, Datastore Steps
Run: is a single execution of a flow. If you run a single flow 1 x per day you need 31 runs per month.
Traffic: The amount of data you transfer between by running flows (incoming and outgoing) will be counted per month. Each base pack contains a monthly limit of inclusive traffic.
Datastore-storage: You can store data in Datastores, if you want to store data inside Synesty Studio. The number of records you can store is limited by your base pack. Records are stored in datastores and datastores are basically like databases or tables with rows and columns. The columns can be customized to store any kind of textual or numerical data like product data with 'title', 'description', 'stock', 'price' etc. You can use Flows to save, update and read from datastores. But: the rows you are reading from external sources, processing or exporting are unlimited (Except during the FREE test period).
If you have exceeded certain limits (depending on your base pack), flows will stop to run. When that happens you can try to remove any of the above to get below your limits again or you can purchase a higher base pack or Upgrade.
