What is Make.com?

Make.com (formerly Integromat) is a tool that connects your apps together and automates repetitive tasks — without writing any code. You build automations visually by clicking and connecting blocks, similar to building with LEGO.

For example, you could automatically: save email attachments to Dropbox, post new blog entries to social media, or send a Slack message when a customer fills out a form.

Quickstart

  1. Visit make.com and create a free account.
  2. Click Create a new scenario — a scenario is what Make calls an automation.
  3. Pick a trigger app (the app that starts the automation, like "Google Sheets — when a new row is added").
  4. Add action modules (what happens next, like "Send an email" or "Create a Slack message").
  5. Connect your apps by signing into them when Make asks. Test with real data, then turn the scenario on.

Best for

  • Non-technical users who want automation without code
  • Marketing, operations, and back-office workflow automation
  • Connecting SaaS tools (CRM, email, spreadsheets, chat)
  • Teams that want a managed platform with no self-hosting

Basic tutorials

Automate inbound form handling

Simple mode

  1. Trigger on a new form submission.
  2. Send the lead to a spreadsheet or CRM.
  3. Notify the right person in Slack or email.

Expected output: A manual copy-paste process turns into a repeatable scenario.

Next step: Add AI enrichment or an approval step.

Build a content approval loop

Simple mode

  1. Collect a draft from one tool.
  2. Send it to a reviewer.
  3. Post or store the approved version automatically.

Expected output: You create a lightweight content ops workflow without custom code.

Next step: Add deadline reminders or multiple approval branches.

Best for

  • Low-code SaaS automation
  • Cross-app workflows
  • Operational teams

When to choose an alternative

  • You need deeper technical extensibility.
  • You want a code-capable automation stack.

EdgeTeam take

The easiest visual automation platform that's still powerful enough for real work. 1,500+ integrations cover almost any SaaS stack. AI modules work but feel bolted on rather than native. The free tier (1,000 ops/month) runs out fast once you start automating in earnest. Best for operations teams who need reliable, no-code automation.
