What you can automate

What does the AI/ML API Make integration let you automate?

The AI/ML API Make integration links your AI/ML API account to Make, the visual editor where you build a scenario: an automation made of connected bricks. Each brick is called a module. This app brings three action modules and no trigger, so the text you send always comes from another app or from a schedule you set in Make.

Answers drafted from incoming messages. A support email or a form entry arrives in another app, Make passes its text to Get a Model Response, and the answer lands where your team reads it. Each item that travels between modules is a bundle, and every module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

A picked model instead of a guessed one. Before wiring anything, Get a List of Models lists the models AI/ML API makes available, which saves a round of trial and error when you choose the model for the response module.

Everything else through the API. When the two named modules stop short, Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the AI/ML API with the same connection.

One honest limit: the official Make page for this app says its own content was AI-generated from the vendor documentation and may contain mistakes, so check anything critical with AI/ML API directly. Many apps also exist as an n8n node; if you are weighing both tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria. For a guided start, see the Make training, and Make pricing explains how operations add up.

Connect

How do you connect your AI/ML API account to Make?

  1. 01

    Create a key in AI/ML API

    In your AI/ML API account, open the API keys section and click Create API Key. Give the key a name you will recognize later, then copy the key that appears on screen. You need an active AI/ML API account for this step.

  2. 02

    Open the connection window in Make

    In your scenario, add any AI/ML API module and click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every AI/ML API module you add. The Connection name field is optional.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the key you just copied into the credentials field and confirm. From there, Make can reach your AI/ML API account, and the module shows its settings, ready to fill.

First scenario

Your first scenario with AI/ML API

GoalWhen a new entry reaches another app, Make sends its text to AI/ML API and keeps the model's answer.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Go to the Scenarios page, create a new scenario, and click the + in the middle of the editor to place your first module.

  2. 02

    Start from the app that holds the text

    AI/ML API has no trigger, so the first module belongs to another app: the form, inbox or sheet where new text shows up. Pick it, then connect that account.

  3. 03

    Add Get a Model Response

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search for AI/ML API, and choose Get a Model Response. Select your connection, then map the text from the previous module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received, so you can read the answer before anything runs on its own.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule (every 15 minutes by default, and never shorter than 15 minutes on the Free plan), then switch the scenario on.

Modules

What each AI/ML API module does

AI/ML API gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

AI/ML API1

Get a List of Models

ActionIn the docs only

You get the list of models available on AI/ML API, straight inside Make, so you pick a real model name instead of guessing one.

When to use it
at the start of a project, or when a response module fails and you want to confirm the model name you picked is still available to you.
Watch out
it returns a list, not an answer; run it on its own with Run once rather than inside every scenario, where it would spend operations.
AI/ML API2

Get a Model Response

ActionIn the docs only

As its name says, you get back a model's answer, here to the text you pass in, ready to map into the next module: a reply draft, a summary, a label for a ticket.

When to use it
whenever a scenario already carries a piece of text from another app, such as a form message or an email body.
Watch out
each bundle that reaches this module is one operation, so filter the incoming items first if only some of them need an answer.
AI/ML API3

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

This one opens every other endpoint of the AI/ML API to your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, with no extra key to set up.

When to use it
when neither of the two named modules covers what you need and the AI/ML API documentation lists an endpoint that does.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself, so keep the vendor documentation open next to the editor and test it with Run once before switching anything on.

FAQ

AI/ML API and Make: common questions

01Is the AI/ML API Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. AI/ML API is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, and up to 5 minutes per run, with files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute and allow unlimited active scenarios. The AI/ML API account itself follows its own subscription, described on the vendor's pricing page, which this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect AI/ML API to Make?
An active AI/ML API account and an API key. You create the key in the API keys section of AI/ML API with the Create API Key button, give it a name, and copy it. In Make, you add an AI/ML API module, click Create a connection, optionally fill the Connection name field, and paste the key. That connection is then reused by all three modules, so you only do this once per account.
03Does AI/ML API start a Make scenario in real time?
No, because the app has no trigger module. A scenario that uses it starts in one of two ways. Either another app opens the flow, for example a form or a mailbox whose trigger watches for new items, and AI/ML API comes after it. Or you set a schedule on the first module with the clock: every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan, and 1 minute on paid plans. Either way, AI/ML API acts on the bundles it receives.
04What if an AI/ML API module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It lets the scenario call any endpoint of the AI/ML API with the connection you already have, which covers what Get a List of Models and Get a Model Response do not. Keep in mind that the official Make page for this app states its content was AI-generated and may contain mistakes: for anything important, confirm the details in the AI/ML API documentation or with the vendor before you build on them.
05Should you use Make or n8n with AI/ML API?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, AI/ML API brings two action modules plus Make an API Call, all available from the Free plan, and you build everything in a visual editor. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for AI/ML API before choosing. If both are available, pick the platform where your other apps and scenarios already live, since keeping everything in one place makes testing and fixing simpler.
