Make
AutomationMake is a visual workflow automation platform that sits between Zapier and self-hosted n8n. It gives mid-market ops teams real branching, iterators, error handlers, and routers without the maintenance burden of running their own infrastructure, the right ceiling for teams that have outgrown linear Zaps but aren't ready to staff a dev to babysit n8n.
Make is what mid-market ops teams reach for when Zapier stops scaling and self-hosted n8n is more infrastructure than they want to own. It's a visual workflow automation platform built around scenarios, modules, routers, and iterators, the building blocks you need for real branching logic, not just linear if-this-then-that chains.
What Make Does
Make connects your stack through visual scenarios that can branch, loop, retry, and call sub-scenarios. The architecture rewards teams that think in workflows rather than triggers. Every run is logged module-by-module, which makes debugging and iteration faster than any other hosted automation tool we work in.
- Scenarios: visual flows built from connected modules, each representing an action in an app or a logic step.
- Routers and filters: conditional branching that splits a scenario into parallel paths based on data, with per-path filters.
- Iterators and aggregators: loop through arrays of records and recombine results, which is the work most teams resort to scripts for.
- Error handlers: per-module retry, rollback, and fallback paths so a single bad record doesn't kill the run.
- Data stores and custom variables: lightweight built-in storage and reusable state, which removes the need for an external database in most ops scenarios.
- Webhooks and HTTP modules: bidirectional integration with anything that exposes an API, including bespoke internal systems.
- 3,000+ pre-built app integrations: including Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Slack, Stripe, Airtable, Notion, monday.com, Shopify, Google Workspace, and most of the long tail.
Make's AI Layer
Make has shipped a serious AI surface area over the last year. Make AI Agents let you build agents that take action across the 3,000+ connected apps with a transparent execution map, you can see every module the agent fires. The Make MCP Server exposes scenarios to AI clients, so Claude or ChatGPT can call your workflows as tools. Native modules for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and ElevenLabs mean the prompt and the orchestration live in the same place, which is the version of AI automation we actually trust in production.
Automations We Build with Make
Make is the right tool for any ops workflow that has real branching, depends on multiple systems, and needs to be auditable. Below are the plays we run most often for mid-market clients, the ones that meaningfully change throughput rather than just save a few clicks.
- Inbound lead orchestration: form submission triggers enrichment via Clay or Apollo, scoring against an ICP rubric, router-based assignment to the right rep, and a personalised first-touch sequence in the CRM.
- Order-to-cash automation: new Stripe subscriptions trigger CRM updates, NetSuite or QuickBooks invoicing, customer welcome emails, and CSM assignment, with error handlers that route exceptions to a Slack channel.
- Client onboarding pipelines: a closed-won deal in HubSpot or Salesforce fires a master scenario that provisions accounts, sends document signing requests, creates project workspaces, and schedules kickoff calls.
- AI-assisted support triage: inbound tickets get classified by an LLM module, routed to the right queue, and pre-drafted with a suggested reply that an agent reviews instead of writing from scratch.
- Cross-stack data reconciliation: nightly scenarios that compare CRM, billing, and finance records, flag mismatches, and write a summary to the ops Slack channel before anyone logs in.
- Recruiting and hiring ops: applications from Greenhouse or Ashby trigger enrichment, AI-powered resume screening, calendar scheduling, and a structured intake message to the hiring manager.
- Reporting and digest scenarios: scheduled runs that pull from the warehouse, the CRM, and the finance stack, summarise via an LLM, and post weekly leadership digests to Slack or email.
Why Teams Choose Make
- Real branching logic: routers, iterators, and error handlers replace the dozen-Zap workarounds that mid-market ops teams accumulate on Zapier.
- Module-level execution logs: every run shows exactly which step ran on which data, which makes debugging and iteration roughly an order of magnitude faster than other hosted tools.
- Hosted infrastructure: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR-compliant, SSO available, with no servers to patch. The right answer for teams that want power without owning the ops.
- Operations-based pricing that scales linearly: predictable cost as volume grows, without per-Zap or per-seat ceilings that punish you for building more.
- 3,000+ native integrations and a clean HTTP module, if the app exists, Make either has it natively or you wire it in via webhooks in minutes.
Make integrates natively with the tools you already run, Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Slack, Stripe, Airtable, Notion, monday.com, Shopify, Google Workspace, and a long tail of 3,000+ apps. Plans start with a free tier and scale through Core, Pro, Teams, and Enterprise (pricing typically lands in the low double digits per month at the entry tiers, with Enterprise quoted custom). That's the layer Moonira builds on, you get the scenarios, the error handling, the AI orchestration, and the ongoing iteration without standing it up yourself.
Use cases
Lead Routing With Real Branching Logic
We build scenarios that score, enrich, and route inbound leads across multiple paths based on firmographics, intent signals, and rep capacity. Routers and filters handle the if/then logic that Zapier collapses into multiple linear Zaps.
Order-To-Cash Operations
Connect Stripe, the CRM, the billing system, and the finance stack into one scenario that handles new subscriptions, dunning, refunds, and revenue recognition. Iterators loop through line items cleanly without spawning duplicate runs.
Client Onboarding And Handoff Pipelines
When a deal closes, one Make scenario provisions the workspace, sends the welcome sequence, assigns the CSM, creates the kickoff calendar invite, and updates the project tool. Sub-scenarios keep each step modular and debuggable.
Data Sync Across The Stack
Two-way sync between the CRM, the data warehouse, the support tool, and the finance system without paying for a separate iPaaS. We use data stores, custom variables, and webhooks to keep records reconciled in near-real time.
AI-Powered Internal Workflows
Plug GPT, Claude, or Gemini into scenarios that summarise call transcripts, classify support tickets, draft personalised follow-ups, and route work based on intent. Make handles the orchestration so the AI calls stay accountable and auditable.
