We implement Make scenarios for lead routing, e-commerce, CRM sync and reporting: visually extensible for business teams, with error paths, operations monitoring and clear naming standards.

Make (formerly Integromat) fits fast SaaS-to-SaaS automation—when data may be processed in the cloud.

Make for marketing, sales and operations teams

Make connects 1,500+ cloud apps with a visual scenario editor. Ideal for teams that want webhooks, filters, routers and iterators without developers—e.g. Shopify → CRM, Typeform → Slack, Google Sheets → Mailchimp.

We structure scenarios so errors are visible (error handlers, ops notifications), duplicates are avoided and operation credits stay predictable. Without governance, parallel scenarios and maintenance cost grow unchecked.

Make complements n8n or Power Automate: Make for fast SaaS chains, self-hosted n8n for sensitive data, Power Automate in the Microsoft stack.

Our services at a glance

Scenario design

Routers, filters, aggregators and error handlers for stable flows.

CRM & marketing

HubSpot, Pipedrive, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign—lead scoring and nurturing.

E-commerce

Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware—orders, stock, invoice triggers.

Operations monitoring

Slack/Teams alerts on errors, credit warnings and run logs.

Governance & docs

Naming, folder structure, access roles and handover to business teams.

Migration & audit

Consolidate and optimise existing Zapier/Make scenarios.

Plan operations credits and scaling

Make bills by operations—complex scenarios with many modules multiply cost fast. We optimise scenarios (batching, scheduling, early filters) and size plans to volume.

For personal or core ERP data we check if Make is legally viable—otherwise we move sensitive parts to self-hosted n8n.

Use Make wisely—don’t replace every tool with Make

We start with scenarios that relieve immediately: remove double data entry, stop manual lead assignment, distribute reports automatically.

Shop and marketing teams benefit most; we review core ERP processes for API or n8n alternatives.

  • Visual scenarios for business teams
  • Error handlers & ops alerts
  • Credit optimisation
  • CRM, shop and form integration
  • Combined with n8n/Power Automate

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: Make automation

Make vs alternatives

Make or Zapier?

Make often offers richer router/iterator logic and cheaper operations at volume. Zapier is simpler for beginners. We recommend by scenario complexity and privacy—not marketing.

Is Make GDPR-compliant?

Make (Celonis) offers EU processing and DPAs—we still assess each process for SaaS viability. For highly sensitive data we recommend self-hosted n8n.

What does Make implementation cost?

First production scenarios often €4,000–10,000; multiple departments and governance setup accordingly higher. Make operation credits are ongoing—we optimise scenarios for predictable usage. Guidance: /en/costs/automation.

Operations, credits and scaling

How do we avoid uncontrolled scenario growth?

Naming conventions, folder structure, owners per scenario and regular audits. We document dependencies and retire duplicates. Without governance parallel flows for the same process emerge—expensive in maintenance and credits.

Can business teams extend Make themselves?

Yes—that is a Make strength. We train power users, set sandbox scenarios and approval workflows. Critical integrations (finance, HR) stay with IT or us—with versioning and monitoring.

Make vs n8n – when which tool?

Make for fast SaaS chains (marketing, e-commerce, CRM) in the cloud. Self-hosted n8n when data must stay in Germany or complex API orchestration without operation limits. Both can run in parallel—we avoid tool duplication per process.
