What you can automate

What can the Award Force Make integration do for you?

The Award Force Make integration lets a scenario (the automation you build in Make, a chain of modules) write into your Award Force account. Every module is one brick of that chain. Here all 5 are actions, so the scenario starts in another app or on a schedule.

Accounts without retyping. People already sit in a sheet or a CRM. Put Create a User after the module that reads them, and each row becomes an Award Force user.

Entries that arrive from outside. A form tool collects submissions somewhere else? Create an Entry turns each one into an Award Force entry, with the values mapped from the step before.

Anything the list leaves out. Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Award Force API with the same connection, so you are not stuck with the ready-made modules.

What this integration does not give you: a trigger. Nothing in Award Force can start the scenario by itself, so you pick the starting point elsewhere. The Make documentation also warns that its Award Force page is AI-generated from the vendor docs, so check important details on the Award Force side. n8n often has a node for the same app; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria. If Make is new to you, the Make training covers the editor basics, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect Award Force to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate an API key in Award Force

    In Award Force, open Settings, then Integrations and API Keys. Click Generate API Key, give it a name that says what it is for, choose the scope, click Save and copy the key shown on screen.

  2. 02

    Add an Award Force module

    In your Make scenario, add any Award Force module and click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every Award Force module you add later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you run several accounts. Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows, and confirm.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Award Force

GoalWhen a new person shows up in another app, Make creates their Award Force user and then an entry for them.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where your people already live, a sheet or a form tool, and choose its module that brings in new records.

  2. 02

    Add Create a User

    Click the + on the right, search Award Force and pick Create a User. Select your connection, then map the values from the first module into the fields Make lists.

  3. 03

    Chain Create an Entry

    Add Create an Entry after it. Each bundle (one item passed from one module to the next, here one person) now produces a user, then an entry.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received. Open Award Force and check that the user and the entry look right.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the clock on the first module (every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario), then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

What each Award Force module does

Award Force gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Award Force1

Create a User

ActionIn the docs only

Gives a person an Award Force account straight from data another app already holds, so nobody copies names across by hand.

When to use it
your list of people lives in a sheet, a CRM or a form tool, and each new row should become an Award Force user.
Watch out
every bundle that reaches this module creates one user and costs one operation, so test on a single record with Run once first.
Award Force2

Create an Entry

ActionIn the docs only

Puts a submission into Award Force for you, with the values mapped from an earlier module instead of typed in again.

When to use it
applications are collected outside Award Force and you want them sitting in your program without a manual import.
Watch out
Make lists the fields it can fill once the connection works; check them in the editor rather than guessing, and read the result in Award Force after your first Run once.
Award Force3

Entry submitted

ActionIn the docs only

Sits in the Award Force module list with no official description, so this page cannot tell you what it does or what it returns.

When to use it
only after you have opened it in the editor and seen what it asks for; its name points to submitted entries, but that is a reading of the name, not a documented fact.
Watch out
run it once on a test scenario before anything depends on it.
Award Force4

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Lets you call any endpoint of the Award Force API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, so the four ready-made modules are never a dead end.

When to use it
the action you need has no module of its own in this list.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Award Force API documentation open and check the answer in the bundle after Run once.
Award Force5

User registered

ActionIn the docs only

Sits next to Create a User in the module list, but no official description explains what it does or what it returns.

When to use it
once the editor has shown you its settings; the name hints at newly registered users, and that hint is all this page can offer.
Watch out
do not build a production scenario on it before a test run proves what it outputs.

FAQ

Questions about the Award Force Make integration

01Is the Award Force Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Award Force is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs scheduled scenarios at most every 15 minutes, limits each run to 5 minutes and caps transfer at 512 MB. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) remove the cap on active scenarios and bring the interval down to 1 minute. Usage is counted in operations, one per module per bundle. Your Award Force subscription is a separate matter handled by Award Force.
02What do you need to connect Award Force to Make?
An active Award Force account and an API key. You create the key in Award Force under Settings, Integrations, API Keys, with Generate API Key. You name it, choose its scope, add notification emails if needed, save it and copy the key shown. Then, in Make, add any Award Force module, click Create a connection, optionally name it and paste the key. The same connection then serves every Award Force module in your scenarios.
03Does the Award Force Make integration react in real time?
No, because it has no trigger. All 5 modules are actions, so Award Force cannot start a scenario on its own. You have two ways to launch one. The first is a trigger from another app, such as the form or sheet where people sign up. The second is a schedule on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go below that. Paid plans can go down to 1 minute.
04What if the Award Force module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Award Force API with the connection you already set up, so you can cover actions the other modules do not offer. You write the request yourself, so keep the Award Force API documentation at hand. Also note the warning on the Make documentation page for this app: it was AI-generated from the vendor documentation and may contain mistakes, so confirm important behavior with Award Force.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Award Force?
It depends on what your team already runs. On Make, Award Force gives you 5 modules: two ready-made creations, two modules with no official description yet, and Make an API Call for the rest. n8n often has a node for the same app, so compare the actual module lists for your use case before choosing. Neither tool is ranked here; the n8n vs Make comparison on this site lists the criteria to weigh.
