anakin Make integrationAutomate anakin with Make.
Can Make put anakin to work without a line of code? Yes: the anakin Make integration gives you 4 modules, 3 actions and 1 search. This page is for builders who already use anakin, and it walks you from the connection to a tested first scenario.

What does the anakin Make integration let you automate?
The anakin Make integration links your anakin account to Make, a visual tool where you chain apps together without code. Each anakin feature appears as a module, one brick of a scenario (the automation you build). You drop these bricks in order, and Make passes the results from one to the next.
Three patterns fit what the four modules are. A search that feeds a table: the Search module returns zero, one or several items, called bundles, and each bundle can flow into a sheet or a database module from another app. An extraction step inside a longer chain: UniversalDataExtractor is an action, so it works on one item at a time, which suits a scenario that already carries a record from another app. A result handed to your team: AgenticSearch or DataPoller, both actions, can sit in the middle of a flow whose last module posts the outcome where people read it.
Be clear about the limits. anakin has no trigger in Make, so a scenario never starts on its own from anakin: it starts on a schedule or on another app. The official docs also say that anakin documentation is limited because little public information exists about the app, so this page names no field and no format. Your best guide is the Run once test, which shows exactly what each module returns.
Weighing tools first? The Make review covers the editor, and n8n vs Make lays out the criteria side by side. If a flow gets stuck, Make troubleshooting lists the usual fixes.
How do you connect anakin to Make?
- 01
Add an anakin module
In your scenario, click the + and search for anakin by name. Pick any of its four modules, then click Create a connection. A connection is your anakin account linked to Make once, and every anakin module reuses it afterwards.
- 02
Name the connection
This step is optional, yet a clear name such as "anakin, marketing team" helps a lot when several accounts live in the same Make organization. You pick it by that name in every anakin module, so you always know which account a scenario uses.
- 03
Authorize and save
Make then asks you either to approve access on the anakin page or to paste the key anakin gives you, depending on how the app signs in. The docs do not say which one applies. Complete what the window shows, then click Save.
Your first scenario with anakin
GoalWhen the schedule fires, Make runs an anakin Search and sends each result through UniversalDataExtractor.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module. Since anakin has no trigger, this first slot belongs to another app or to a schedule.
- 02
Add the Search module
Click the + on the right, search for anakin and pick Search. Select your connection, or click Create a connection if this is your first anakin module, then fill in the fields Make displays.
- 03
Chain UniversalDataExtractor
Click the + after Search and add UniversalDataExtractor. Map data from the Search output into its fields. Each bundle Search returns runs this action once, and each run counts as an operation on your plan.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and lets you open the bundles each module received. Read them closely: with docs this limited, they are the most reliable description of what anakin returns.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and 15 minutes is also the shortest interval on the Free plan. Pick your schedule, then switch the scenario on.
What can the anakin modules do?
anakin gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
AgenticSearch
ActionIn the docs onlyAgenticSearch gives your scenario a search step that Make lists as an action, so it runs once per bundle it receives. The name hints at an automated, agent style search, but the docs describe nothing more.
DataPoller
ActionIn the docs onlyGoing by its name, DataPoller fetches data from anakin at the moment the scenario reaches it; the docs confirm nothing more. Despite what the word poller suggests, Make lists it as an action, not as a trigger, so it never starts a scenario by itself.
Search
SearchIn the docs onlySearch returns a set of results from anakin, which Make splits into bundles: zero, one or many, one per item found. Every module placed after it then works on each bundle in turn.
UniversalDataExtractor
ActionIn the docs onlyIts name suggests UniversalDataExtractor pulls structured data out of what you give it, ready to map into the next app; as an action, it works on one item per run. The docs give no field list, so the editor itself shows you what it expects.
