Error

This is a response from a third-party app that the action you want Albato to perform cannot be done for some reason. Errors stop the automation by default. The scenario is considered incomplete if one of the apps in the automation reports an error.

Connection

It is a process of transferring data between Albato and your account in another app. The number of connections in your Albato plan indicates how many accounts of one app you can use in the automation at the same time. So, for example, within the Basic plan you can transfer data between one Facebook account + one amoCRM account + one GetCourse account and so on. Services and apps are not limited. You can store more connections in your Albato account than specified in your plan, but you will not be able to start automation with all connections.
