The Make agency.Scenarios built to hold up.
You already know what Make can do. The real question is who builds your scenarios so they keep running when an API times out, a token expires or a payload comes back malformed. That is what a Make agency is for: robust scenarios, proper error handling, a clean migration off Zapier when it makes sense, and a build your own team can maintain after we leave. No filler, just automations that stay up.

GeminiWhat a Make agency actually builds, department by department.
Skip the tour of what Make is, you have used it. Here is where a Make agency earns its fee: the scenarios that are fiddly to get right and painful to maintain once they are live. Below is what we typically build, team by team, so you can picture yours before the first call.
- Sales and CRM
Your pipeline updates without the copy-paste
A form fill or a Stripe payment creates the deal in HubSpot or Pipedrive, enriches it, pings the owner in Slack and books the follow-up. Quotes go out on their own, reminders chase the ones left unsigned, won deals hand off to onboarding. The rep spends the day selling instead of retyping the same lead into three separate tools.
How we build sales scenarios - Finance and ops
Invoices, reconciliation, reporting on a schedule
An invoice lands, Make reads it, files it, pushes the line into your accounting tool and flags anything that does not match the purchase order. Month-end reports build themselves from Stripe, your CRM and a spreadsheet, then drop in Slack on the first. The repetitive back-office work runs on a timer instead of eating a person's week.
How we automate ops - Marketing
Campaigns and content that route themselves
A new lead syncs to your email tool, gets scored, and drops into the right sequence. Make's built-in AI modules (Claude, GPT) draft the reply, summarize a long inbound, or write the first pass of a post, then hand it back into HubSpot or Slack for a human to approve. Marketing ops stops being a stack of manual handoffs between five tabs.
How we wire AI in - Support and delivery
Tickets triaged, customers kept in the loop
An inbound ticket gets categorized, tagged by urgency and routed to the right person, with an AI-drafted first reply already waiting for review. Onboarding fires the welcome sequence, creates the workspace and schedules the kickoff. Customers get faster answers, and nobody forgets a step, because the step lives in a scenario instead of in someone's head.
How we automate support
Who we are, and what it takes to start.
- 40+Companies automated, worldwide
Since 2024 we have built Make automations for more than 40 companies, from online stores to software teams to service firms, clients spread across time zones. Different stacks, same discipline: scenarios designed to keep running in production, not just to look good in a demo on day one.
- from $2kTo start, exact quote after the audit
It starts at $2,000, and where it lands depends on how many scenarios you need and how much cleanup the existing setup takes. You get the real number after the free 60-minute audit, once we have opened the account. Small builds wrap in about a week, bigger migrations run closer to six months.
- 150+Scenarios shipped and maintained
We have shipped more than 150 automations since 2024, across Make, n8n and custom code, and the ones that matter are still running. Every Make scenario we build gets error handling, retries and alerting from the start, so a broken step pings the team instead of failing in silence for three weeks.
How a Make agency takes the work off your plate.
Same shape every project. We map what you run today, rebuild the fragile bits as proper scenarios, wire in error handling, and hand it to your team with the docs to keep it going. Most builds go live in two to three weeks. Bigger migrations run anywhere from a week to six months, depending on scope. And you own the account the whole way through.
- Map the work first. We sit with your team and list the scenarios worth building or fixing before anything else.
- Build for failure. Every scenario ships with retries, filters and an alert the moment a step breaks.
- Migrate cleanly. If you are moving off Zapier, we rebuild scenario by scenario and nothing goes dark mid-switch.
- Hand it over. Your team gets the docs and the training to run and edit it without calling us back.
We build Make scenarios that survive a bad day.
Plenty of setups work in the demo and fall over the first time an API is slow or a field comes back empty. We design for that day from the start: retries, error routes, alerts, and a fallback when a step cannot complete. You also keep everything, the account, the scenarios, the connections. If you ever want to pull it fully in-house or move to another tool, nothing is holding your data hostage.
- Every scenario gets error handling, retries and alerting, so a failure pings your team, not your customer.
- We build in Make's visual editor with clean naming and notes, so a non-developer can read and edit it later.
- No lock-in: you own the Make account, the scenarios and the data, and you can take them anywhere.
- We tell you when Make is the wrong tool, because sometimes n8n or a bit of code fits your case better.
We audit your Make setup, you leave with a plan.
Sixty minutes on a call, screen shared, going through what you run today or what you want to build. We flag the scenarios worth automating first, the fragile ones that need error handling, and whether a Zapier migration pays off. You walk out with the priority list, a ballpark cost (from $2,000) and a realistic timeline, even if you never hire us.
- Which scenarios a Make agency should build or rebuild first
- Where your current automations will break, and how error handling fixes it
- Whether moving off Zapier to Make is worth it for your volume
- A ballpark cost (from $2,000) and a timeline from one week to six months
How we run a Make agency project.
Five steps, run in order, no skipping ahead. Each one has a clear deliverable, and you sign off before we move to the next. By week three or four your first scenarios are live. By the end your team operates the system, with the account and the code in your own hands.
- Step 1 · Audit your setup
We open your Make account and find the fragile parts
Sixty minutes with you, screen shared, on what you run today. If you already use Make, we open the scenarios and hunt the fragile ones: no error handling, hard-coded values, a single failure that drags the rest down with it. If you are on Zapier or doing it by hand, we map what should exist. Each candidate scenario gets a quick score on time saved, how often it runs, and how painful it is when it breaks. The account stays yours the entire time.
- Step 2 · Scope and price
We agree on what gets built first, and what it costs
After the audit you get a real quote. The number starts at $2,000 and grows with scope, so it reflects how many scenarios and how much migration work sit in front of us, not some shelf package. We line up what gets built first and in what order, then put a timeline on it, from a week for a couple of scenarios to six months for a full migration. You approve the plan and the number first; the invoice only exists after that.
- Step 3 · Build with error handling
Working scenarios, retries and alerts on every one
Two to three weeks per batch from approval to live scenarios. We connect Make to your real tools (Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, Stripe, whatever you run) and build in the visual editor, with retries, filters and error routes on every scenario so a failed step does not cascade into the rest. We test each one against your data, so you see exactly what gets created, sent or updated. Nothing goes live until you have signed off on it.
- Step 4 · Migrate and test
We run old and new side by side until it is proven
If you are moving off Zapier or another tool, we rebuild scenario by scenario and run the old and new versions side by side until the Make one is proven, so nothing goes dark mid-switch. Each scenario gets checked against real payloads, the awkward edge cases and the failure modes we expect, then monitored for a stretch before we call it done. You get a runbook that lists the likely breakages and the fix for each.
- Step 5 · Handover and support
You own everything, with support after delivery
Everything is yours from day one: the account, the scenarios, the connections, the docs, all inside your own tools, so nobody is holding you hostage later. We train the people on your side who will own it day to day, and they can edit a scenario, add a step or swap a connection without us. Want ongoing help? There is an optional monthly arrangement, scoped to what you need and cancellable anytime. Plenty of teams run it themselves after handover, which was always the point.
Make or n8n? How we pick for your case.
You will see both names when you shop for an automation agency, and the honest answer is that neither wins by default. Make is hosted, fully no-code and quick for a non-technical team to run after handover, which is why most SMB setups land there. n8n is open source and self-hosts on your own server (useful when data cannot leave your walls) and gets cheaper at very high run volumes. We build on both, so at the audit we tell you which one fits your team, your data rules and your volume, instead of selling you the one we happen to prefer.
- Pick Make when marketing or ops needs to run it themselves and hosting is not a constraint.
- Pick n8n when data has to stay on your own server, or your run volume is genuinely high.
- Either way you get the same error handling, testing and handover. The tool changes, the discipline does not.
- Not sure yet? That is exactly what the free audit is for. We decide it with you, not for you.
What teams ask before hiring a Make agency.
What does a Make agency actually do for you?
It designs, builds and maintains your Make scenarios so you do not have to. The value is not knowing Make exists, you already do. It is building scenarios that survive real conditions: an API that times out, a token that expires, a payload that comes back malformed. A Make agency audits what you run, rebuilds the fragile parts with error handling and retries, connects your real tools, and trains your team to operate it. You keep the account and the data throughout.Make vs Zapier, which should you use?
Both connect apps and automate work, but three things separate them. Pricing: Make charges per operation (one module run), which usually works out cheaper than Zapier's per-task model on automation-heavy use cases. Editor: Make shows your scenario as a visual diagram, easier to debug when a step fails, while Zapier lists steps in a row. Data: Make handles arrays, loops and JSON more comfortably. For a simple two-step automation, Zapier is quicker to stand up. For anything with branching or volume, Make usually wins on cost and control.Can you migrate us from Zapier to Make?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we take. We audit your existing Zaps, map each one to a Make scenario, rebuild them with proper error handling (something a lot of Zap setups never had), and run old and new side by side until the Make version is proven. Nothing goes dark mid-switch. Most migrations save money too, since Make's per-operation pricing tends to beat Zapier's per-task pricing once you are past a few thousand runs a month. You get a runbook and full ownership at the end.What happens when a Make scenario breaks?
It should not fail silently, and with the way we build, it does not. Every scenario gets error handling from the start: retries on transient failures, error routes that catch a bad step, and an alert to Slack or email the moment something needs a human. Failed runs are stored so you can replay them once the cause is fixed. We also document the ten most likely failure modes for your build with the fix for each, so your team clears the common ones without calling us.Why hire a Make agency instead of building it in-house?
Because the editor being no-code is not the same as the scenarios being easy to get right. Anyone can wire two modules together. The hard part is what bites later: error handling, rate limits, deduplication, the malformed payload, keeping a scenario readable so the next person can maintain it. That is where a rushed build quietly costs more than the agency fee. We do it fast, build it to last, and hand it over documented so your team runs it after we leave.How much does a Make agency cost?
It starts at $2,000 and climbs with scope, how many scenarios you need built and how much migration or cleanup the existing setup takes. We skip fixed packages, because the right scope depends on your account. After a free 60-minute audit you get a precise quote tied to the real work, plus a timeline that usually lands between one week for a couple of scenarios and six months for a full migration. The audit itself is free, and you leave with a plan either way.What does the Make subscription itself cost?
That is separate from the agency fee, and you pay Make directly. Make's plans run from a low monthly tier for small teams up to higher tiers for high-volume use, and because it bills per operation, your cost tracks real usage rather than a flat per-task rate. Part of our job is sizing the right plan and building scenarios that do not waste operations, so you are not paying for runs you do not need. We estimate your likely Make bill during the audit.Make agency or n8n agency, which fits us?
It depends on hosting, your team and your volume. Make is hosted and fully no-code, the better fit when marketing or ops people need to run it themselves after handover. n8n is open source and self-hosts on your own server (handy when data has to stay in-house) and gets cheaper at very high run volumes. In short: Make for simplicity and team autonomy, n8n for controlled hosting and heavy volume. We build on both and settle it with you at the audit rather than pushing a default answer.Can our non-technical team run Make after you leave?
Yes, that is the whole point of how we build. Make's visual editor is made for marketers, ops leads and founders, not just developers. We hand over clean, well-named scenarios with notes, written docs and recorded walkthroughs, and we train the people who will own it. The everyday changes (swap a recipient, add a step, reconnect an app) are quick fixes your team handles. If something deeper breaks, an optional monthly arrangement is there, but teams rarely need it.Are you a Make Partner, and do you work remotely?
We build on Make every week and work with teams remotely across time zones, the audit and build happen over video and shared screens. On partner badges: we do not lean on them as proof, because a badge says little about whether your scenarios stay up. What matters is the build quality and the handover. You can read what clients say on our Trustpilot page, and the free 60-minute audit is the fastest way to judge whether we know the tool.
Get scenarios that stay up. Start with one call.
A free 60-minute audit of your Make setup, or of what you want to build. We flag the scenarios worth automating first, where the current ones will break, and whether a Zapier migration pays off. If Make is the wrong tool for your case, we will say so and point you at n8n or plain code instead.
