Make

Visual scenario builder

Scenarios are built by placing app modules on a canvas and linking them with routers and filters, so branching logic is visible at a glance.

3,000+ pre-built apps

Make lists more than 3,000 app integrations, among them OpenAI, HubSpot, Salesforce and Slack. Access to enterprise apps comes with the paid plan.

Credit-based billing

Most module actions use 1 credit. The paid plan starts at 5,000 credits a month, and extra credits are sold in bundles of 1,000 or 10,000 at 25% more than plan credits.

AI agents, Maia and MCP

AI agents can be built to orchestrate workflows, Maia builds automations from a conversation, and the Make MCP server lets outside AI assistants trigger scenarios.

Make Grid

Make Grid gives a map of an organization's scenarios and how they connect, to keep a large automation setup under control.

Teams, variables and API

The paid plan adds teams and team roles, custom variables, full-text search of execution logs and access to more than 300 Make API endpoints.

Pabbly Connect

Workflow builder

A workflow has one trigger and one or more actions. Paid plans allow any number of steps, with path routers, filters, iterators, delays and scheduled runs.

Task counting

Only an action performed in an external app uses a task. Triggers, filters, routers, formatters and other internal steps are free, and checks for new data are not charged.

2,000+ integrations

Pabbly lists more than 2,000 app integrations. For anything missing, Action Builder turns an API into a workflow action and the API module sends custom requests.

Code and data tools

A JavaScript and Python module runs code inside a workflow. Built-in tools include text, number and date formatters, an email parser, a JSON extractor and custom variables.

AI Assistant and MCP

AI Assistant adds assistants that work from custom knowledge inside workflows, and the Pabbly Connect MCP server lets MCP clients such as Claude run workflow actions.

Approvals and team sharing

Human in Loop pauses a workflow until a team member approves. Workflows sit in folders and subfolders that can be shared with set access permissions.
