Understanding Credits in Trigify

Trigify uses a credit-based system to keep things simple and flexible. Every time an action is executed — whether it's running a workflow node, enriching a contact, or posting content — credits are consumed.

What is a Credit?

A credit is the unit of usage inside Trigify. Each action you perform consumes a set number of credits.

The number depends on the type of action — some are lightweight (like finding a social post), while others require more processing power (like enrichment or AI nodes).

How Credits Are Charged

Credits are deducted per execution. For example:

• If your workflow finds 10 social posts, that will use 10 credits (1 per post).

• If you enrich 5 emails, that will use 50 credits (10 per enrichment).

• If a workflow includes an AI node, credits will vary depending on the size of the task.

Credit Costs by Action

Here's a breakdown of how credits are charged for different actions:

Tracking Your Credits

You can easily monitor your credit usage inside Trigify by the following ways.

Quick Look:

1. In the top right of your app, click the usage button

In-depth Usage:

1. Go to Settings → Credits Usage.

2. Here you'll see an exact breakdown of where credits are being used.

3. If you're on a Pay As You Go plan, you can control how much you spend by going to the manage plan page.

4. If you're on a monthly plan, this remaining credits you have left for is for the current 30-day cycle.

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Social Listening Workflow

You set up a workflow that tracks Reddit mentions of your brand. It finds 20 posts.
20 credits are used (1 per post).

Scenario 2: Sales Prospecting Workflow

You enrich 10 new leads with email and company data.
250 credits are used.

Scenario 3: AI Content Workflow

You run an AI node that generates a detailed campaign summary.
Between 3–5 credits are used, depending on complexity.

How to Save Credits

There are a few strategies to minimize your credit usage while maximizing platform functionality:

1. Use Your Own AI API Keys

How to set it up:

1. Navigate to Settings (found in the bottom left menu)

2. Go to the AI Settings page

3. Upload your API key for your preferred provider

4. Select which model you want to use with your API key

Supported AI Providers:

• Anthropic (e.g., Claude 4.5)

• OpenAI

• Gemini

• More providers coming soon!

Example: Using Your Own Anthropic API Key

Let's say you've added your Anthropic API key and configured it to use Claude 4.5:

• When you select "4.5" in the workflow AI agent node, you'll see "Anthropic is configured"

• This means you're using your own API key

• No platform credits will be charged for this agent action

• If you select “3.5” instead, you will use platform credits

HTTP Node & Custom API Integration

Zero-Credit External Integrations

One of the most powerful ways to extend platform functionality without spending credits is through HTTP nodes and custom API integrations.

What Are HTTP Nodes?

HTTP nodes allow you to make direct API requests to external services using your own API keys. The best part? They don't cost any platform credits.
