How does Make (Integromat) work?
Creating workflows
Make allows you to build workflows, also known as scenarios, to automate your processes and tools. Each workflow consists of a trigger—a web application that initiates the automation—along with other applications that perform defined actions. The modules within your workflow can include no-code tool integrations, native Make modules, or custom application modules you’ve created.
Connections
Connections refer to all of your tool integrations. You can easily manage all the tools you have connected to Make, streamlining your automation processes.
Webhooks
Webhooks are frequently used modules in Make that allow you to receive data from a website or web application, or to send data. You can manage your Make webhooks effortlessly from a dedicated space.
Data stores
Unlike many automation tools, Make features a built-in database called "Data Stores." This is particularly useful for workflows requiring complex data management, eliminating the need for third-party tools like Airtable or HubSpot.
My Apps
Make’s "My Apps" feature enables you to create your own integrated modules. By utilizing coding, you can develop a module and reuse it across your automations.
