Hi everyone, I am new here, have deployed one workflow (see screenshot) and it shows me that I ran out of invocations, wo what counts as invocation? everytime the workflow runs (then i am far away from the 333) or everytime a step in the workflow runs?

Hello , you can read this section to understand how Pipedream counts invocation.

Additionally, you can visit your Billing & Usage page to understand your exact quota

thanks as i understand, 1 invocataion = 1 workflow, but then it started only a couple of times/day vs. 333, actually trigger is from close.com Saas, does it create invocations by polling Close.com even if no event (new Lead) is found and workflow is not started?

> does it create invocations by polling Close.com even if no event (new Lead) is found
When you add a trigger into your workflow, you are basically creating a source (see 1st image below). Even if you do not deploy the workflow, the source still runs (so you will see the new events). For the sources using timer (.e.g. RSS Feed, Close.com), it will cost one invocation every 15 mins even there’s no event.

You can turn off the source in your Source page (see 2nd image below)

how much invocations does a webhook “cost” only the times its fired or also one every 15 mins?
