Workflow credits power your automations in Twenty. Understanding how they work helps you optimize costs and manage your automation budget effectively.
Credit Allocation by Plan Workflow credits are allocated per workspace based on your subscription plan:
Trial : 5 million creditsPro Plan : 10 million credits per monthOrganization Plan : 20 million credits per month
How Credit Consumption Works Credits are consumed when workflows execute, not when you create them. Each workflow action consumes credits based on its complexity:
Credit Consumption by Action Type
Basic internal operations : Very low credit consumption
Search Records
Create Record
Update Record
Delete Record
Form actions
Complex operations : Higher credit consumption
Code actions (JavaScript execution)
HTTP Requests to external services
AI features : Significant credit consumption (coming soon)
AI prompts and processing will consume credits based on usage
Real-Time Deduction Credits are deducted in real-time as workflows execute. This means:
Draft workflows don’t consume credits
Only active, running workflows use your credit allocation
Failed workflows still consume credits for completed steps
Managing Credits Check Credit Usage
Go to Settings → Billing
View your current credit consumption and remaining balance
Monitor usage patterns to optimize your workflows
Purchasing Additional Credits If you need more credits beyond your plan allocation:
Go to Settings → Billing
Click on the option to purchase additional credits. Packages of different sizes are available.
Credits are added to your current balance
Best Practices Efficient Workflow Design
Start Simple : Begin with basic actions and add complexity graduallyTest in Draft : Thoroughly test workflows before activation to avoid wasting credits on errorsMinimize HTTP Requests : Use efficient search criteria and combine operations where possibleBatch Processing : Use bulk operations and Iterator actions efficientlyError Handling : Implement proper error handling to prevent unnecessary retriesManual Trigger Optimization : For manual triggers, choose Bulk availability to process multiple records in a single workflow run (see Workflow Features for details)
Action Optimization
Use basic internal operations when possible (lower credit consumption)
Optimize Code actions for efficiency
Consider manual triggers for non-urgent processes
Batch operations to reduce individual action calls
Credit Management
Regular Monitoring : Check your credit usage weekly in Settings → BillingUsage Tracking : Keep track of consumption patterns to avoid unexpected overagesPlan Accordingly : Consider upgrading your plan if you consistently need more creditsWorkflow Review : Regularly review high-consumption workflows and deactivate unused onesStrategic Planning : Plan workflow deployment based on credit availability
