Most Make.com users build massive scenarios that crash constantly. You know the feeling: 50+ modules in one workflow, timeout errors every day, and debugging nightmares that kill your productivity.

Here's what automation experts figured out: break everything into 5 focused pieces. Nico Hartwell breaks down why this approach cuts errors by 67% and keeps you under Make.com's 40-minute execution limit.

The data is clear. Scenarios with over 30 modules hit timeout errors 3x more often than smaller ones. But when you split a complex workflow into focused modules that talk to each other through data stores, you get something more reliable and way easier to fix when things go wrong.

In This Episode:

> Why single-purpose scenarios fail 67% less than multi-purpose ones

> How to use Make.com's data stores as communication bridges between scenarios

> The 30-module rule that prevents most timeout errors

> Real examples of turning one giant scenario into 5 focused ones

You'll see exactly how to architect workflows that scale without breaking. This isn't about making more scenarios for the sake of it. It's about building automation that actually works when you need it most.
