What can the ADManager Plus Make integration do for you?
It lets Make, a no-code automation tool, act on the user accounts you manage in ADManager Plus. You build a scenario, the automation itself, from modules, the bricks that each do one job. Here every brick works on users and groups: create, find, update, unlock or remove.
Onboarding that starts from a signed form. A form or HR app fires first, then Create a User opens the account and Add a User to a Group gives it the right access. Nobody retypes the new hire's details.
Clean departures. When a contract ends in another tool, Search Users finds the person, Disable a User closes access at once, and Remove a User from a Group strips the memberships. Delete a User can come later, once you are sure.
A help desk that unlocks itself. A ticket asking for an unlock can call Unlock a User directly, and a job change can go through Modify a User's Attributes.
One honest limit: Make's own documentation for this app is thin, it says there is not enough public information to describe every field. Expect to test each module with Run once before trusting it, and keep the Make troubleshooting guide close. If you are still choosing a tool, n8n vs Make lays out the criteria, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.
How do you connect ADManager Plus to Make?
- 01
Add a module and start the connection
Open your scenario, click the +, search for ADManager Plus and pick any of its modules. In the module panel, click Create a connection. A connection is your ADManager Plus account linked once to Make, then reused by every module.
- 02
Name it so you recognize it
This step is optional, but useful. Give the connection a clear name, such as the environment it points to. If you later link a test instance and a live one, the name is the only thing telling them apart in the list.
- 03
Authorize Make, then save
Either approve Make on the ADManager Plus page that opens, or paste the key your ADManager Plus account gives you, depending on what the window asks for. Then click Save. The module now shows your connection.
Your first scenario: onboard a new hire from a form
GoalWhen a hiring form is submitted in another app, Make creates the account in ADManager Plus and adds it to the right group.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the trigger of the app where hiring requests arrive, a form tool for example. ADManager Plus has no trigger of its own.
- 02
Add Create a User
Click the + to the right of the trigger, search ADManager Plus and choose Create a User. Select your connection, then map the name and details coming from the form into the module.
- 03
Chain Add a User to a Group
Add Add a User to a Group after it. Map the user from the previous module (check in Run once what Create a User hands over), so the new account is the one that gets the group, not someone else.
- 04
Test with Run once
Submit a test entry in your form, then click Run once. Open each module's bubble and read the bundles, the items that passed from one module to the next. Check the account in ADManager Plus.
- 05
Switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default in a new scenario), then switch the scenario on. From here, each form entry becomes an account without a manual step.
What each ADManager Plus module does
ADManager Plus gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add a User to a Group
ActionIn the docs onlyGives a person the access that comes with a group, straight from your scenario, so nobody has to open ADManager Plus to tick a membership by hand after a new account appears.
Create a User
ActionIn the docs onlyOpens a brand new account in ADManager Plus from data another app already holds, which means the details typed into a hiring form arrive exactly as written, without a second round of copy and paste.
Delete a User
ActionIn the docs onlyRemoves an account for good. Your directory stays tidy and old accounts stop piling up, but this is the one module on the page you cannot take back once the operation has run.
Disable a User
ActionIn the docs onlyCuts someone's access without erasing the account, so you can still bring it back with Enable a User if the person returns or the departure was a mistake.
Enable a User
ActionIn the docs onlyBrings a disabled account back into use, which saves you recreating a profile from scratch with Create a User when a colleague returns.
Make an API Call
ActionIn the docs onlyReaches any endpoint of the ADManager Plus API with the connection you already set up, which is how you cover a need the nine other modules leave out, without building a second login.
Modify a User's Attributes
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdates details on an existing account, so a promotion, a new team or a changed phone number reaches ADManager Plus as soon as it is recorded in the tool where it happens.
Remove a User from a Group
ActionIn the docs onlyTakes back access tied to one group while leaving the rest of the account untouched, which is the gentle option when someone changes team rather than leaves the company.
Search Users
SearchIn the docs onlyLooks up accounts and hands them to the next module, which turns a name or an email from another app into the exact user ADManager Plus can act on.
Unlock a User
ActionIn the docs onlyFrees a locked account in one step, so the person can work again without waiting in a support queue for someone to open the admin console.
