In API Nation, only the successful action of creating, reading, updating, or deleting a record are counted towards your monthly based usage.

What are workflows, triggers, and actions? 

• A workflow is the automation of an application pair. 
• A trigger is the first application in a workflow, which either receives a new task, event, or new record to process.
• The action happens when a workflow sends any records to an application regardless of the method (Add, Update, Delete) or returned status (Success, Fail, etc).

What counts toward RECORDS usage?

The following use one record when your workflows run:

• A RECORD is used when your trigger application or first app in a workflow CREATES a new contact, transaction, document, invoice, or row in a worksheet.
• A RECORD is used when your trigger application or first app in a workflow UPDATES a new contact, transaction, document, invoice, or row in a worksheet.
• A RECORD is used when your trigger application or first app in a workflow DELETES a new contact, transaction, document, invoice, or row in a worksheet.

Record Counting

A RECORD is the same or equivalent to one contact, transaction, document, invoice, or row in a worksheet.

What happens when I go over on my allowed  RECORDS usage?

When a user uses more than the allowed monthly RECORDS they will be billed for the excess at a rate of $0.05 per additional RECORD.

Ex: My subscriptions allows me to use 1,000 RECORDS per month, at the end of my billing month my total usage is 1,200 RECORDS. This means the user has 200 RECORDS that will be billed for overages. 

$15 = 1,000 RECORDS / MONTH

$0.05 = per additional RECORD

$25 = Total Billed

What doesn't count toward RECORDS usage?

• When a record is retrieved it is not counted against your usage. This means that just cause your trigger app is triggered doesn't mean you've used a record.
• When a record is filtered it is not counted against your usage. This means that if the workflow executes and filters out records due to reasons like it already exists or etc, the record is not tallied into your usage.
