Let’s explore the following steps and create a scenario. Please complete each stage of this exercise.
Opening / Creating Your Scenario
If you have continued from the previous unit, you should already have your scenario editor open.
If you have not continued from the previous unit, open Make and select Create a new scenario from the Organization / Team / Scenarios menu.
Naming Your First Scenario
In the top left hand corner of the screen you will see text stating New scenario. Hover your mouse over this and select it with your mouse - notice you can edit the text? Delete what is there, and rename this to Make Foundation Use Case.
Adding Your First App
Select the plus button. This will load our many usable apps.
In the search box, type Weather.
Select the Weather app.
You will then be given a list of actions associated with this app.
Select the Get current weather action module.
Configuring Your First App
This will bring up the configuration for this module. The only task required from you here is to put in a location.
Type your current city in the City field.
Click OK.
Note: If you have not renamed your scenario as detailed in the first step, you may notice New scenario now states Integration Weather. For the sake of being organized and consistent going forward, rename this to Make Foundation Use Case.
Note: You may have noticed that when you typed in your location, the General functions pop-up appeared – ignore this for the minute, we will cover this in much greater depth in later units.
Saving the Scenario
At this stage it is important to save your scenario.
Click the save icon on the control panel at the bottom of the scenario builder.
Note that if you try to exit the scenario from within Make, you will be greeted with a prompt stating “There are unsaved changes in the scenario.” and options to Discard changes or Save changes.
This concludes this task.

Next you will organize your scenario by placing it in a folder.
This represents the best way to keep your scenarios organized as you create them.
To get started, select the Scenarios option from the menu.

Scenario Details
This is the scenario that we have just created and renamed. Next to the scenario name, you will see icons indicating:
- The amount of credits the scenario has consumed.
- The amount of data transferred.
- The author of the scenario.
Adding a New Folder
Next you will add a new folder. In Make, click Scenarios in the left-hand menu. Then select the + icon and type Make Academy. Click Save when you are done.
Moving a Scenario
Move to the right of your scenario and select the down arrow. Then select move to folder. You will receive a prompt on screen – select the drop-down and then select Make Academy. Click the Move button to complete this task. You can then navigate to the Make Academy folder and view your first scenario there.

By now you should have an understanding of:
- How to add apps

Great work! Let’s keep this momentum going, and move on to the next unit: What is an app / module.
