Make

Make, formerly known as Integromat, is a visual automation platform that lets you connect apps and design complex workflows without writing code. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface empowers you to build multi-step scenarios that link hundreds of apps, transforming repetitive tasks into streamlined, automated processes. Whether you’re synchronizing data between tools or orchestrating cross-department operations, Make serves as a central hub for boosting productivity through automation.

• Visual Workflow Editor: Design automations on an infinite canvas with a clear, node-based visual builder that makes even complex processes easy to grasp.
• Multi‑Step Scenarios: Craft workflows with multiple steps and branches, going far beyond simple one‑action triggers to handle sophisticated business logic.
• Extensive App Library: Connect to a vast collection of apps—from Google Sheets to Slack—ensuring your favorite tools talk to each other seamlessly.
• Conditional Logic and Filters: Add if‑then rules, filters, and routers to tailor automations precisely, making each scenario as smart as it is efficient.
• Advanced Error Handling: Built‑in mechanisms detect issues mid‑workflow, allowing you to define fallback actions and receive alerts so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Custom API Access: For developers, an open API permits building bespoke integrations, extending Make’s capabilities to any HTTP‑based service.
• Real‑Time Execution Monitoring: Watch scenarios run live, inspect data at each step, and troubleshoot with detailed execution logs.

1. Sign up and explore templates: Create a free Make account. Browse the template gallery to jump‑start your workflow with pre‑built scenarios for common use cases.
2. Create a new scenario and pick an app: Click “Create a new scenario”, choose the app that will trigger the automation (e.g., a new row in Google Sheets), and authorize its connection.
3. Add modules and map data: Add action modules for subsequent steps (send a Slack message, update a Trello card). Visually draw lines between modules and map data fields using the drag‑and‑drop interface.
4. Set conditions and filters: Insert routers or filters between modules to define conditional branches—for example, “if lead score > 50 then notify sales, else add to nurture sequence”.
5. Test and fine‑tune: Run the scenario with the built‑in “Run once” feature, inspect each module’s input/output, and adjust settings until it behaves as expected.
6. Activate and monitor: Toggle the scenario to “ON”. Monitor executions in the dashboard, set up error notifications, and revisit the editor whenever you need to refine the workflow.

Make operates on a freemium model with a generous free tier that includes a limited number of monthly operations and access to all core features. As your automation needs grow, you can upgrade to paid tiers (starting with the Pro plan) that increase operation quotas, unlock priority support, and offer team collaboration features. Exact pricing is based on a monthly or annual subscription, with the cost scaling according to usage volume. Because plans and pricing can change, it is best to check the official Make website for the most up‑to‑date details and to compare feature limits across tiers.

• Web application: The primary interface is browser‑based, accessible from any modern desktop or mobile browser for building and managing scenarios.
• API: A comprehensive REST API allows developers to programmatically create, run, and monitor scenarios, integrate Make into other tools, or connect to custom services.
• Mobile access: While there is no dedicated mobile app, the web interface is responsive and allows monitoring and basic adjustments on the go.
• Integrations ecosystem: Make runs on cloud infrastructure, ensuring high availability without the need for self‑hosting (self‑hosted options are not currently offered for general users).

• Start simple and iterate: Begin with a linear workflow, then gradually add branches and filters once the basic automation works reliably.
• Use descriptive labels: Name your scenarios, modules, and filters clearly so anyone on your team can understand what each part does without deciphering cryptic IDs.
• Leverage error handlers: Attach error‑handling routes to critical actions (e.g., if an email fails to send, log the error and notify an admin) to build resilient automations.
• Take advantage of templates: Browse and customize templates from the community—they often include proven patterns that save time and prevent common pitfalls.
• Monitor usage closely: Keep an eye on your operations consumption, especially on a paid plan, to avoid unexpected limits; many workflows can be optimized to use fewer operations.
• Document your scenarios: Maintain internal notes or a simple doc explaining what each scenario does, which apps it connects, and who is responsible for it, making troubleshooting and handovers smoother.

• Marketing professionals who need to orchestrate multi‑channel campaigns, lead scoring, and data sync without waiting for developers.
• IT administrators and DevOps looking to glue together disparate systems, automate server‑side tasks, and manage APIs with a visual, auditable tool.
• Sales teams that want to eliminate manual data entry by auto‑logging activities, enriching leads, and nurturing prospects across platforms.
• Project managers and operations leads who juggle multiple tools and wish to centralize updates, reporting, and handoffs in one place.
• Small business owners who want to automate back‑office processes (invoicing, inventory, client onboarding) using a no‑code platform.
• Freelancers and creators like designers, writers, or artists who can automate repetitive digital tasks such as file backups, portfolio updates, or distribution.
