Restoring Scenarios

Prerequisites

Before restoring a scenario, ensure:

1. You have configured your Make API settings
2. Your API key has the required permissions:
   • scenarios:read - to read scenario data
   • scenarios:write - to create/update scenarios
3. You have at least one backup available in Bitmule

Restore Process

Selecting a Scenario

1. Navigate to the Restore page
2. Use the scenario dropdown to select the scenario you want to restore
3. The backup history will load automatically

Choosing a Backup Version

1. Review the available backups in the table
2. Each backup shows:
   • Creation date (in UTC)
   • File size
   • Restore button
   • Visualizer button
3. Click "Restore" on the version you want to use

Restore Options

When restoring a scenario, you have two options:

Create New Scenario

• Creates a fresh scenario from the backup
• Original scenario remains unchanged
• Requires reconfiguring webhooks
• Safe option

Overwrite Existing

• Only available if the scenario still exists in Make
• Replaces current scenario with backup version
• Preserves scenario ID and webhooks
• Best for reverting unwanted changes

Important Notes

Before restoring, be aware that:

1. API keys and passwords are not stored in backups
2. Service connections may need reauthorization
3. Webhooks need reconfiguration when creating new scenarios
4. Overwriting permanently replaces the current configuration

Once the restore is complete you should login to Make to verify the scenario and reconfigure any webhooks/credentials.

Best Practices

1. Create New vs Overwrite

   • Use "Create New" when testing or when you want to keep the original scenario
   • Use "Overwrite" only when you want to revert to a previous version

2. Testing Restored Scenarios

   • It's a good idea to test with creating new scenarios first to ensure everything works as expected prior to overwriting the original scenario
   • Verify all connections work
   • Check webhook configurations
   • Run test executions

3. Handling Sensitive Data

   • Keep record of API keys and passwords
   • Document service connections
   • Store webhook URLs securely
