These are the apps our templates and client builds actually run on. Short, honest notes: what each one is good for, and where it falls short.
Estimate how many Make credits your scenarios will use each month and which plan fits. Enter your triggers, schedules and modules, and the calculator shows the formula behind every number.
Why we built it: Most surprise Make bills come from polling triggers and per-item modules. The calculator makes both visible before you build. It runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Visual no-code automation platform. You connect apps with drag-and-drop “scenarios”, map fields and add filters and routers without writing code. The Free plan is enough to try our templates (check make.com/pricing for current limits).
How we use it: Every Flowpaja template and client build runs on Make. It’s powerful, but watch your monthly credits: a scenario that checks every 15 minutes uses far more than one that runs once a day. New to Make? Start with Make.com for beginners.
Free online spreadsheets. It’s a simple “database” for small teams: invoice lists, lead logs, settings tabs.
How we use it: The data source for our invoice templates, the response sheet for Google Form leads and the lead log in our free Webhook to Sheets with duplicate check template. It’s great for small volumes. For thousands of rows or complex relations, a real database or CRM is better.
Email from Google. Make’s Gmail app can send, read and draft emails from your own address.
How we use it: Sends the Overdue Invoice Digest and the Polite Invoice Reminder emails, and holds the Quote Follow-Up Assistant drafts. Note: personal Gmail connections in Make need re-authorizing about every six months.
A free CRM for contacts, companies and deals. The free tier covers the basics most small teams need.
How we use it: Our Lead Router template creates or updates HubSpot contacts from form leads. The free CRM is enough, but some features (like advanced automation) are paid add-ons.
Team chat. A Slack message is often the fastest way to make sure a new lead or an error doesn’t go unnoticed.
How we use it: Hot-lead alerts and error alerts in the Lead Router. The free workspace works. It has limited message history, but that’s fine for alerts.
A form builder with a generous free plan and a clean, document-like editor. It’s a good alternative to Google Forms.
How we use it: We suggest it when a client wants nicer forms than Google Forms. Our Lead Router is built for Google Forms, so Tally needs a trigger swap in Make. Step by step: Tally to Google Sheets with Make.
