Working with Make

# Introduction

Make (opens new window) is a workflow builder that integrates with Axiom.ai. It can be used to trigger and pass data into your Axiom.ai automations. Axiom.ai can be used to trigger your Make workflows and pass data into them, too! Enhance your Axiom.ai browser automation with Make's workflow builder.

# Trigger a Make workflow from an Axiom.ai automation

The Trigger webhook step can be used to trigger your Make workflow. To get started, you'll need to set up a Make account.

  1. Click "Create new scenario".
  2. Add a new "Trigger" and search for "Webhooks", select "Custom webhook".
  3. Inside of the trigger, click "Create a webhook", enter a "Webhook name" and click "Save".
  4. Copy the webhook URL that Make gives you, this will start with "https://hook...", save this for later.
  5. Optional, edit the advanced settings to add a data structure.
  6. Build out your Make workflow with the modules that you require.

Now head over to your Axiom.ai automation. Build out your automation as normal, follow the steps below when you are ready to send your data to Make.

  1. Add a Trigger webhook step.
  2. Enter your "Endpoint", this will be the webhook URL that was retrieved from step 4 above.
  3. Enter your "Payload".

For more information on setting up your Make workflow, see Make's receiving a webhook (opens new window) documentation.

# Trigger an Axiom.ai automation from a Make workflow

An Axiom.ai subscription with "Webhooks" is required to use the "Receive data from another app" step, see pricing for more details.

We are aware of an issue with our Make integration that can prevent new users from adding connections, follow our documentation below for details on triggering an Axiom.ai automation from a Make workflow.

To get started, you will need the following from the Axiom.ai Chrome extension:

  1. API key - The API key is found on the dashboard.
  2. Automation name - Get the name of the automation you wish to trigger.
  3. Endpoint - The current endpoint is https://lar.axiom.ai/api/v3/trigger.

Create your Make workflow as normal, once you are ready to trigger and send data to your Axiom.ai automation, follow the steps below within Make:

  1. Add a new module to your Make workflow, search "HTTP" and add a "Make a request" module.
  2. Add the Axiom.ai "Endpoint" in the "URL" field.
  3. Change the "Method" to "POST".
  4. Change "Body type" to "Raw".
  5. Change "Content type" to "JSON (application/json)".
  6. Add your JSON request into the "Request content" section, see Sending data to your automation with the API for more details.
  7. To accept the data that you have sent to your Axiom.ai automation, add a Receive data from another app step to the beginning of your automation.

When the run is successful, you will receive a JSON response that can then be used later in your workflow. See Understanding the API response for more details.

# Testing

To test your trigger from your Axiom.ai automation, click "Run" in the Axiom.ai extension. Give it a moment, then navigate to your workflow in Make. Click "History" to see your previous runs.

To test your trigger from your Make workflow, click "Run once" in your Make workflow. Give it a moment, then navigate to Run reports within your Axiom.ai dashboard to see your runs.

# Future plans

While we do have an official Make integration, we are aware of issues with this when setting up new connections. We believe that this issue is related to the change of systems when Integromat became Make - we hope to have this integration available in the future to make using Axiom.ai with Make even easier than it already is!
