Term
Make (Integromat)
Make (formerly Integromat) is a cloud-based no-code workflow automation platform. Through a visual interface, you connect apps and APIs into multi-step workflows ("scenarios") without programming — for example to pass data between services.
Make (Integromat) — explained in detail
Make, known until 2022 under the name Integromat, is a cloud-based platform for automating workflows on a no-code basis. Users connect various applications and interfaces with one another without having to write code themselves. Instead, workflows are assembled visually via drag and drop.
The platform rests on two central concepts. A “scenario” is an automated workflow consisting of several steps. Each step is a “module” and represents an action in a particular app — such as “new row in Google Sheets” or “send message in Slack”. Modules are connected in a chain so that the output of one step becomes the input of the next.
Unlike simple trigger-action tools, Make supports advanced flow logic: routers for branching, filters for conditions, iterators and aggregators for processing lists, and error handling. An HTTP and webhook module also allows any REST API to be integrated. Make advertises connections to several thousand apps and has recently added AI features, for example to orchestrate AI agents within scenarios.
Example / Practical use
A small consulting firm wants to process incoming contact-form enquiries automatically. A Make scenario receives the enquiry via webhook, creates an entry in a table, sends a notification to a team chat and dispatches an automatic confirmation email to the sender. All of this happens without a single line of program code and without permanently running a server.
Distinction from related terms
Make belongs to the category of workflow automation tools and thus competes with services such as Zapier or n8n. Compared with Zapier, Make is regarded as more flexible for complex flow logic and data processing, while Zapier is often perceived as easier to get started with. n8n takes a similar visual approach but is open source and can also be self-hosted. What they all share is the goal of automating recurring tasks between different services without traditional programming.
