Use a router to send high-value leads to a priority channel.
This is the last step — toggle scheduling on and your lead pipeline runs 24/7.
✅ Result: Every new lead is automatically added to your CRM and your team is notified in real time.
💡 Profi-Tipp: Use Make’s built-in data transformation modules to clean up phone numbers, names, and email formats before they hit your CRM. Dirty data causes more problems than missing data.
How to Use Make Contract Automation
Contract Automation lets you send, track, and manage contracts without manual follow-ups.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Contract Automation in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Connect Your Document Tool
Add your e-signature app — DocuSign, PandaDoc, or HelloSign.
Select the trigger “Watch for new deal in CRM” to start the workflow.
This creates a direct line between your sales pipeline and contracts.
Step 2: Build the Contract Generation Flow
Add a Google Docs or template module to generate the contract.
Map deal details — client name, pricing, terms — into the template fields.
Add the e-signature module as the next step to send it for signing.
✓ Checkpoint: Run once and confirm the contract is generated with correct details.
Step 3: Set Up Follow-Up Reminders
Add a delay module set to 48 hours after sending.
Connect a “Check status” module to see if the contract was signed.
If unsigned, send an automatic reminder email to the signer.
✅ Result: Contracts are generated, sent, and followed up on — all without your team lifting a finger.
💡 Profi-Tipp: Add a final module that updates your CRM when the contract is signed. This keeps your pipeline data accurate and saves you from manually checking statuses.
How to Use Make Agentic Automation
Agentische Automatisierung lets you build AI-powered workflows that make decisions and adapt based on data.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Agentic Automation in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Start with an AI Module
Create a new scenario and add an AI module — OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI.
You can use Make’s built-in AI provider or connect your own API key.
This is the brain of your agentic workflow.
Step 2: Add Decision Logic with Routers
Add a router after the AI module to create branching paths.
Each path is executed based on the AI’s output — positive, negative, or neutral.
This lets your automation adapt its behavior like a human would.
✓ Checkpoint: Your scenario should show the AI module connected to a router with multiple branches.
Step 3: Connect Actions and Test
Add action modules to each branch — send Slack messages, update databases, or write emails.
Run a test to watch the AI process sample data and pick the right path.
Refine the AI prompt until the output matches your expected results.
✅ Result: Your workflow now uses AI to read, analyze, and act on data — covering tasks that previously required a human in the loop.
💡 Profi-Tipp: Use JSON transformation to structure AI responses before passing them to the next module. Additionally, this ensures your modules always receive data in the correct format and prevents random execution failures.
How to Use Make Visually Orchestrate Automation
Visually Orchestrate Automation lets you design, manage, and debug complex workflows on a visual map.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Visual Orchestration in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Open the Scenario Builder
Click “Create a new scenario” to open the visual canvas.
The canvas is where you drag, drop, and connect modules.
Each module corresponds to a specific action on a connected tool.
Step 2: Connect Modules and Add Logic
Drag a line from one module to another to create a data flow.
Add routers for conditional logic and filters for data refinement.
You can see the entire process from left to right on the canvas.
✓ Checkpoint: All modules should be connected with green lines showing the data path.
Step 3: Debug with Step-by-Step Execution
Click “Run once” to execute the scenario one time.
Each module shows the data it received and the data it passed along.
Click any bubble to inspect the input and output details for that step.
✅ Result: You can now build, test, and troubleshoot any automation visually — no coding or guesswork required.
💡 Profi-Tipp: Use the “Note” feature to add labels directly on the canvas. This helps learners and team members understand what each section of a long scenario does without reading every module’s settings.
How to Use Make Invoice Automation
Invoice Automation lets you process invoices, extract data, and update your Buchhaltung system automatically.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Invoice Automation in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Set Up the Invoice Trigger
Add an email or cloud storage trigger to watch for new invoices.
For example, “Watch new emails with attachments in Gmail.”
The file attachment becomes the input for the next module.
Step 2: Extract Invoice Data
Add a document parser or AI module to read the invoice file.
Map the extracted fields — vendor name, amount, due date, and line items.
Use a data transformation module to clean and format the output.
✓ Checkpoint: Run a test invoice and confirm all fields are extracted correctly.
Step 3: Send to Accounting Software
Add your accounting app — QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Map the extracted data to the correct Buchhaltung fields.
Add an approval notification to Slack or email before final processing.
✅ Result: Invoices are now processed automatically — from email to accounting — with zero manual data entry.
💡 Profi-Tipp: Create a “duplicate detection” filter that checks the invoice number against your database. This prevents the same invoice from being processed twice and causing accounting errors.
How to Use Make Templates Gallery
Templates Gallery lets you start with pre-built workflows instead of building from scratch.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Templates Gallery in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Browse the Templates Library
Click “Templates” in the left sidebar.
Use the search bar to find templates by app name or use case.
Filter by category — marketing, sales, HR, IT, and more.
Step 2: Preview and Install a Template
Click any template to see a preview of the scenario structure.
Review the apps and modules it uses before installing.
Click “Use template” to add it directly to your scenarios.
✓ Checkpoint: The template scenario should appear in your scenario list.
Step 3: Customize and Activate
Open the template and connect your own app accounts.
Update any fields that need to match your business setup.
Test with “Run once” and then set your preferred schedule.
✅ Result: You’ve launched a working automation in minutes using a pre-built template — easy and fast.
💡 Profi-Tipp: After installing a template, duplicate it before making changes. This way you always have the original to reference if you need to start over or share it with team members.
Make Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After testing Make for over a year, here are my best tips.
Tastenkombinationen
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Run scenario once | Ctrl + Enter |
| Add a new module | Click the “+” icon on the canvas |
| Undo last action | Ctrl + Z |
| Zoom to fit entire scenario | Ctrl + Shift + F |
| Copy a module | Right-click → Clone |
| Search for apps | Type app name in the module search bar |
Hidden Features Most People Miss
- Scenario Blueprints: Export any scenario as a JSON blueprint and share it with your team or import it into another organization. This is great for agencies managing multiple client accounts.
- Custom Variables: On Pro plans and above, create variables that persist across scenario runs. Use them for counters, running totals, or session tokens that need to carry forward.
- Webhooks as Triggers: Instead of polling for changes (which uses credits), set up incoming webhooks so apps send data directly to Make. This is more efficient and lets your scenarios run instantly when data arrives.
- Data Store Module: Use Make’s built-in data store as a mini database. It’s perfect for caching lookup tables, deduplicating records, or storing state between scenario runs without needing an external database.
Make Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Using Polling Triggers When Webhooks Are Available
❌ Wrong: Setting a scenario to check for new data every minute, burning through thousands of credits even when nothing changes.
✅ Right: Use webhooks whenever the connected app supports them. This way Make only runs when new data actually arrives, saving credits and improving efficiency.
Mistake #2: Skipping Error Handling
❌ Wrong: Building long scenarios without any error handlers and then wondering why automations silently fail overnight.
✅ Right: Add error handling modules to every critical path. Use “Break” for must-not-fail processes and “Resume” for non-critical steps that can be retried later.
Mistake #3: Processing Items One by One Instead of in Batches
❌ Wrong: Using an iterator to process 100 records individually, consuming 100 credits when you could use an aggregator instead.
✅ Right: Group your data with an aggregator module first. Then process the batch in a single action — this keeps your credit usage low and scenarios running faster.
Make Troubleshooting
Problem: Scenario Stops Running Without Warning
Cause: You’ve hit your monthly credit limit or your connected app’s token expired.
Fix: Check your credit usage in the Organization dashboard. Re-authorize the app connection if the token has expired. Make sends email warnings at 80% and 100% credit usage — enable those notifications.
Problem: Data Is Missing or Empty in Output
Cause: The data mapping between modules is incorrect or the source field name changed.
Fix: Open the module settings and re-map the fields. Click “Run once” and inspect the data bubble on each module to see exactly what data was received and passed forward.
Problem: Webhook Not Triggering the Scenario
Cause: The webhook URL was not saved correctly in the external app, or the scenario is turned off.
Fix: Copy the webhook URL again from Make and paste it into the external app’s settings. Confirm the scenario is toggled “On.” Send a test request and check the webhook history in Make for incoming data.
📌 Notiz: If none of these fix your issue, contact Make support through their help center or community forum.
