What you can automate

What can the AWeber Make integration do for you?

The AWeber Make integration links your AWeber account to Make, a visual tool where you chain apps together without code. Each automation you build there is called a scenario. It can spot new subscribers, lists or custom fields, and then add, update, move or delete contacts for you.

A cleaner welcome path. Watch Subscribers spots each new person on a lead magnet list, and Move a Subscriber sends them to your main list. Your lead magnet list stays small and your main list stays complete.

One place for every signup. When a form, a shop or a spreadsheet collects an email, Add a Subscriber drops it into the right AWeber list. Tools like the Airtable Make integration can feed those contacts.

Richer subscriber records. Find Subscribers for List pulls the people who match your search, Get Subscriber Activity shows what each one did, and Update a Subscriber writes the result back into AWeber.

What the listed modules do not cover, Make an API Call can reach with the same connection. The Make documentation gives no numeric limit for AWeber. If you also weigh n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and our Make pricing guide explains what each plan counts.

Connect

How do you connect AWeber to Make?

  1. 01

    Add an AWeber module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for AWeber and pick any of its modules. A connection is your AWeber account linked to Make once; every AWeber module then reuses it. Click Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a clear name if you like, such as the brand behind the account. Then follow the window that opens: either you allow Make on the AWeber page, or you paste the key AWeber gives you.

  3. 03

    Save and check the lists

    Click Save. Back in the module, Make can now read your account and offers your lists and objects in the fields, so you pick them instead of typing IDs by hand.

First scenario

Your first scenario with AWeber

GoalWhen someone joins your lead magnet list in AWeber, Make moves them to your main list.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module, the one that starts everything.

  2. 02

    Add Watch Subscribers

    Search for AWeber, choose Watch Subscribers and select your connection. Once connected, Make lists your accounts and lists: pick the lead magnet list to watch.

  3. 03

    Add Move a Subscriber

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Move a Subscriber. Map the subscriber from the first module, then choose your main list as the destination.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Each subscriber that flows through is a bundle, one item passed from module to module. Read the bundles each module received to check the right person moved.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Click the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on so it keeps running without you.

Triggers

What can start an AWeber scenario?

4 modules start a scenario when something happens in AWeber. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by AWeber as soon as it happens.

AWeber1Watch Accounts

Watch Accounts

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new account is added.”

You learn about every new AWeber account reachable through your connection, so a scenario can react when one appears. It suits agencies and teams that handle more than one brand from a single login.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks AWeber on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and 15 minutes is also the shortest gap on the Free plan.
When to use it
a new client account is opened and you want your team notified or a setup scenario started.
Watch out
each check uses an operation, one execution of a module that Make counts on your plan, even when nothing new shows up.
AWeber2Watch Custom Fields

Watch Custom Fields

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new custom field is added to the list.”

Here the signal is structural: a new custom field added to a list. Your other tools can then learn that AWeber now stores an extra piece of data, and adapt before anyone forgets.

How it fires
scheduled. Make asks AWeber for new fields at the pace set on the scenario, not at the moment the field is created.
When to use it
someone on the team adds a field to a list, and your spreadsheet or CRM needs a matching column.
Watch out
it looks at one list, so a field created on another list goes unnoticed unless you build a second scenario for it.
AWeber3Watch Lists

Watch Lists

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new list is added.”

Each time a list is created in AWeber, this trigger hands the new list to your scenario. That keeps the rest of your stack aware of launches, events or campaigns that get their own list.

How it fires
scheduled. Make polls AWeber on the scenario's schedule, so a list shows up at the next check, not the second it exists.
When to use it
you open a list for each webinar and want it logged in a shared sheet so sales knows where signups land.
Watch out
it reacts to new lists only; renaming an existing list does not start the scenario.
AWeber4Watch Subscribers

Watch Subscribers

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new subscriber is added to the list.”

Most AWeber scenarios begin here: each new subscriber on the list you choose becomes a bundle your next modules can use, with the contact ready to copy, move or enrich.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the list on the scenario's schedule, so a new person arrives in batches at each check rather than instantly.
When to use it
a freebie download adds people to a list and you want them in your CRM, moved to your main list or flagged for sales.
Watch out
on the Free plan the shortest gap is 15 minutes; if timing matters, a paid plan goes down to 1 minute.
Modules

What else can Make do in AWeber?

AWeber gives you 22 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

AWeber1

Add a Subscriber

Action

In Make“Creates a new subscriber.”

Contacts collected anywhere land in the AWeber list you choose, without an export or a CSV import. This is the module that turns other apps into signup sources.

When to use it
a purchase, a booking or a form entry in another tool should put the buyer on your newsletter list.
Watch out
if the person may already be on the list, search first with Find Subscribers for List and update them instead.
AWeber2

Create a Custom Field

Action

In Make“Creates a custom field.”

A new custom field appears on an AWeber list straight from your scenario, so a list is ready to hold a data point before the first contact carrying it arrives.

When to use it
a new list is created and you want the same extra fields on it as on your older lists.
Watch out
pair it with Get Custom Fields to check the field is not already there.
AWeber3

Delete a Custom Field

Action

In Make“Deletes a custom field.”

Removing a custom field from a list keeps your AWeber account free of old data points nobody fills anymore. Your scenario does the cleanup on the list you point it to.

When to use it
a campaign has ended and the field it relied on should go from the list.
Watch out
the page cannot promise a way back, so treat the deletion as final and test with Run once on a copy list before anything else.
AWeber4

Delete a Subscriber

Action

In Make“Deletes a subscriber.”

This removes a subscriber from AWeber for good, which helps when someone must disappear from your records and not just stop receiving emails.

When to use it
a customer asks for their data to be erased and the request arrives through your helpdesk or a form.
Watch out
treat it as final: add a filter before this module and check each bundle in your test.
AWeber5

Get a Custom Field

Action

In Make“Gets info about a custom field.”

Pick one custom field and read its details, which gives the following modules its exact name and settings to work with instead of a guess.

When to use it
Watch Custom Fields spotted a new field and you want its full details before copying it to another list or tool.
Watch out
it reads one field; to see every field of a list, Get Custom Fields is the better choice.
AWeber6

Get a List

Action

In Make“Gets info about a specified list.”

Returns the details of one AWeber list you already know, so later modules can use its name and settings in a message, a sheet or a report.

When to use it
a new subscriber arrives and your Slack alert should name the list they joined, not just its ID.
Watch out
you need the exact list; when you only know part of the name, start with Find a List.
AWeber7

Get a Subscriber

Action

In Make“Gets info about a subscriber.”

With one subscriber pinned down, this module returns their full record, ready to fill a CRM contact, a support ticket or a personalized message.

When to use it
another app gives you a subscriber reference and you need the rest of their profile before acting.
Watch out
it targets a single person; to fetch a group, use a search module such as Find Subscribers for List.
AWeber8

Get Tags for List

Action

In Make“Gets the most popular tags for a list. This will return an array containing up to 500 tags sorted by descending popularity.”

You see which tags are used most on a list, returned as a collection of up to 500 tags ordered from the most popular down.

When to use it
you want a regular snapshot of the interests your subscribers carry, pasted into a sheet or a report.
Watch out
past 500 tags the least used ones are left out, so this module shows trends, not a full inventory.
AWeber9

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

When none of the listed modules does what you need, this one calls any endpoint of the AWeber API, reusing the connection you already created.

When to use it
a task exists in AWeber but no AWeber module in Make covers it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the AWeber API documentation open and test with Run once before switching the scenario on.
AWeber10

Move a Subscriber

Action

In Make“Moves a subscriber to a different list.”

A subscriber changes lists in one step, which is how you move people along a journey, from a freebie list to buyers or from trial to customers.

When to use it
a payment is confirmed in your shop and the buyer should leave the prospects list for the customers list.
Watch out
the person leaves the original list; if they must stay on both, use Add a Subscriber on the second list instead.
AWeber11

Update a Custom Field

Action

In Make“Updates a custom field.”

Changes the settings of an existing custom field on a list, so the field keeps up with how your team now uses it without rebuilding it by hand.

When to use it
you rename a field on your main list and want the same change applied to your other lists in one run.
Watch out
fetch the field with Get Custom Fields first so you edit the right one.
AWeber12

Update a Subscriber

Action

In Make“Updates a subscriber.”

Fresh information from another tool gets written onto an existing AWeber subscriber, so your segments reflect what you know today.

When to use it
a contact changes plan, city or status in your CRM and AWeber should follow.
Watch out
the subscriber must exist; for addresses you are not sure about, run Find Subscribers for List first and add a router or filter for the no match case.
AWeber13

Find a List

Search

In Make“Finds a list by its name or unique list ID.”

Type a list name or its unique ID and this search hands back the matching list, handy when you only know how the list is called.

When to use it
a form in another tool sends the campaign name and you need the AWeber list that carries it.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or several bundles; plan what happens when nothing matches.
AWeber14

Find Subscribers for Account

Search

In Make“Finds the collection of subscribers that match a search criteria for the specified account across all lists.”

It searches across every list of an AWeber account at once and returns each subscriber that matches your criteria.

When to use it
a customer writes in and you need to know whether they appear on any of your lists before replying.
Watch out
one person can come back several times, once per list, so each match costs an operation in the modules that follow.
AWeber15

Find Subscribers for List

Search

In Make“Finds the collection of subscribers that match a search criteria for the specified account and list.”

Narrower than the account search, this one looks inside a single list and returns only the subscribers who match there.

When to use it
before Add a Subscriber, to check the email is not already on that list and avoid a duplicate.
Watch out
if the search finds nobody, the next modules get nothing; use a filter to decide what should happen then.
AWeber16

Get Accounts

Search

In Make“Lists all available accounts.”

Lists every AWeber account your connection can reach, one bundle per account, which is the starting point for scenarios that span several brands.

When to use it
an agency wants the same report for each client account without building one scenario per client.
Watch out
each account produces its own bundle, and the modules after it run once per account.
AWeber17

Get Custom Fields

Search

In Make“Lists all available custom fields for a specified list.”

You get the complete set of custom fields defined on a list, which shows at a glance what data AWeber keeps for its subscribers.

When to use it
you copy a list setup to a new list and need to know which fields to recreate.
Watch out
the result arrives as several bundles, one per field. Add an aggregator after it whenever you want all of them gathered in a single message or a single row.
AWeber18

Get Lists

Search

In Make“Lists all available lists for a specified account.”

All the lists of one AWeber account come back as separate bundles, ready to loop over, sort or send to a sheet.

When to use it
you keep an up to date inventory of lists in a spreadsheet shared with the sales team.
Watch out
choose the account first; with several accounts, start with Get Accounts and chain this module after it.
AWeber19

Get Subscriber Activity

Search

In Make“Retrieves the analytics activity for a subscriber.”

Reading the analytics activity of one subscriber tells you how engaged that person really is, which is useful before a sales call or a special offer.

When to use it
a lead books a demo and your rep should see that activity in the CRM note.
Watch out
it can return many activity items for one person, so filter or aggregate them before writing anywhere.
AWeber20

Get Subscribers

Search

In Make“Lists all available subscribers.”

Pulls the subscribers available to your connection with no search criteria, for when you want the whole picture rather than a match.

When to use it
a one off backup or a sync of your full audience into another tool.
Watch out
every subscriber is a bundle and each later module counts an operation per bundle, so large audiences use your plan fast.
AWeber21

Actions

ActionIn the docs only

The Make directory lists an entry called Actions for AWeber, without any official description, so the page cannot tell you what it does beyond its name.

When to use it
open it in the scenario editor and read what Make shows before you rely on it.
Watch out
for a known task, prefer the named modules above, which the documentation describes.
AWeber22

Searches

ActionIn the docs only

Searches sits in the AWeber list of Make modules too, again with no official description, so treat it as unknown until you have looked at it yourself.

When to use it
only after checking in the editor what it returns, with a Run once test.
Watch out
the documented searches, such as Find a List or Find Subscribers for List, are the safer choice.

FAQ

Common questions about the AWeber Make integration

01Is the AWeber Make integration free?
Yes, AWeber is a standard app, so its 26 modules are available from the Make Free plan. That plan has limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lift the active scenario cap and bring the shortest interval down to 1 minute. Make counts usage in operations, one execution of one module on one item, so a busy list uses more of your plan than a quiet one.
02What is needed to connect AWeber to Make?
You need an AWeber account and a Make account. The documentation lists no other prerequisite. Add any AWeber module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want, then either authorize Make on the AWeber page or paste the key AWeber provides, and click Save. That single connection is then reused by every AWeber module in all your scenarios, so you only do it once per AWeber account.
03Does the AWeber Make integration react in real time?
No. All 4 AWeber triggers are scheduled: Make checks AWeber on the scenario's schedule instead of being called by AWeber when something happens. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, which is also the shortest gap on the Free plan. On a paid plan you can go down to 1 minute. If a few minutes of delay would hurt your follow-up, choose the shortest interval your plan allows in the scheduling settings.
04What if an AWeber module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the AWeber API with the connection you already have, so you can cover a task that none of the 14 actions and 8 searches handles. You write the request yourself, so keep the AWeber API documentation nearby and test with Run once. The Make documentation gives no numeric limit for AWeber, so there is no documented quota to plan around on the Make side.
05Should AWeber be automated with Make or n8n?
It depends on the tool your team already uses and on the modules you need. On Make, AWeber comes with 26 ready modules, a visual editor and access from the Free plan. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check that the operations you rely on exist there before choosing. Our n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria side by side, without declaring a winner for every case.
