What you can automate

What can the Benetics AI Make integration do?

The Benetics AI Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, act on your Benetics AI account. Each module is one brick of that chain. Going by their names, since Make gives them no description, the 8 modules create projects and tasks, upload documents and plans, and look up users. All of them are actions, so another app or a schedule has to start the scenario.

Projects that open themselves. When a new job is confirmed in the tool your sales team uses, Create a Project can set up the matching project in Benetics AI, and Create a Task can add its first to-do right after.

Files where the crew expects them. A plan or a report received somewhere else can reach Benetics AI through Upload a Plan or Upload a Document, so nobody downloads and re-uploads it by hand.

A fallback for the rest. Get a User, as its name suggests, brings one user's details into the scenario, and Make an API Call reaches the parts of the Benetics AI API that the other modules leave out, with the same connection.

Know this before you start: Make states that it cannot fully document Benetics AI yet, because too little public information exists about the app. Test every module with Run once before relying on it. The app may also have an n8n node; the n8n vs Make page explains how the two tools differ, Make pricing covers the plans, and Make training helps if the editor is new to you.

Connect

How do you connect Benetics AI to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Benetics AI module

    In your scenario, click the +, type Benetics AI in the search box and pick any of its modules. The connection, which is your Benetics AI account linked to Make once, starts from that first module and is then reused by every other one.

  2. 02

    Create the connection

    Click Create a connection. Make lets you give it a name. That step is optional, but a clear name saves confusion later if you ever link a second Benetics AI account to Make.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what Make asks, either approve access on the Benetics AI page that opens, or paste the key Benetics AI gives you. Then click Save, and the module can talk to your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Benetics AI

GoalWhen a new job is confirmed in another app, Make creates the project in Benetics AI and adds its first task.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first bubble belongs to the app where jobs get confirmed, such as your CRM or a form tool, because Benetics AI has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Project

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search Benetics AI and choose Create a Project. Create the connection, then map the job details from the first module into the fields Make shows.

  3. 03

    Chain Create a Task

    Add Create a Task after it. Map data from the previous module, such as the project it just created if Make lists it, then describe the task every new job should start with.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and confirm one real job in the first app. Each module then shows the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along, so you can see what Benetics AI sent back.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module; a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. Switch the scenario on. Every module run is one operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What each Benetics AI module does

Benetics AI gives you 8 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Benetics AI1

Create a Project

ActionIn the docs only

A new project in Benetics AI, created by your scenario instead of by hand: that is what the name Create a Project promises, since Make gives it no official description. It is usually the first Benetics AI step of a flow.

When to use it
a job is confirmed in another tool and the site team needs its project ready.
Watch out
test it once on sample data, because every run may add one more project and the doc says nothing about duplicates.
Benetics AI2

Create a Task

ActionIn the docs only

You get a to-do inside Benetics AI that nobody had to type, which is the job its name gives Create a Task. Pair it with Create a Project when every new project opens with the same first step, so nobody has to remember it.

When to use it
an inspection lands in your calendar tool. Someone must own the follow-up.
Watch out
Make lists the fields only once the connection works, so link the account before planning the mapping.
Benetics AI3

Get a User

ActionIn the docs only

Details about one Benetics AI user, brought into the scenario so the next module can use them. That reading comes from the module's name alone, as Make publishes no description for Get a User.

When to use it
a later step, like an email to a site manager, needs more than the ID another module passed along.
Watch out
read the bundle it returns with Run once before mapping anything, because nothing documents what comes back.
Benetics AI4

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Access to whatever the Benetics AI API offers beyond the seven named modules, through the connection you already set up. Make an API Call is the way out when no module in the list matches your need.

When to use it
the action you have in mind has no module of its own here.
Watch out
Make's limited doc for this app will not tell you which endpoint (the exact API address) to call, so ask Benetics AI for its API documentation first.
Benetics AI5

New Project Events

ActionIn the docs only

A look at what happens on your Benetics AI projects, if the name holds true. Make files New Project Events as an action, not a trigger, and gives it no description, so it cannot start a scenario on its own.

When to use it
you want project activity in a report or a message, placed after a first module or a schedule.
Watch out
check its bundles with Run once before building on it, since no one has documented which events it returns.
Benetics AI6

New Task Events

ActionIn the docs only

Task activity from Benetics AI, pulled into your scenario, is what New Task Events suggests. Like its project counterpart, Make lists it among actions with no official description, which leaves its exact output to discover.

When to use it
you are checking whether task updates can feed a dashboard or a chat message in another app.
Watch out
it will not fire by itself, so put it behind another module and confirm what it returns before you switch the scenario on.
Benetics AI7

Upload a Document

ActionIn the docs only

Files sent straight from your scenario into Benetics AI, so documents stop travelling by email. That is the promise of Upload a Document, which Make leaves undescribed; it would take the file from an earlier module.

When to use it
a signed report arrives as an attachment and belongs with the project.
Watch out
the Make Free plan caps files at 5 MB, so check the size of what you send before blaming the module.
Benetics AI8

Upload a Plan

ActionIn the docs only

Plans reach Benetics AI through their own module, kept apart from Upload a Document. Make does not explain the difference, so the name is your only guide: Upload a Plan is probably meant for drawings rather than general paperwork.

When to use it
an architect shares an updated plan in a cloud folder and the site needs to see it.
Watch out
on the Free plan a run stops after 5 minutes of execution, which matters when several heavy files go through together.

FAQ

Benetics AI and Make: common questions

01Is the Benetics AI Make integration free?
Yes. Benetics AI is a standard app in Make, available from the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between scheduled runs, up to 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations per month. Your Benetics AI subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect Benetics AI to Make?
A Benetics AI account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no prerequisite for this app, so the standard path applies: add a Benetics AI module, click Create a connection, name it if you like, then either approve access on the Benetics AI page or paste the key the app provides, and click Save. The doc for this app is marked as limited, so if Make asks for a key you cannot find, Benetics AI support is the right place to ask.
03Does Benetics AI trigger Make scenarios in real time?
No. Benetics AI has no trigger module in Make, neither scheduled nor instant, so it cannot start a scenario on its own. There are two ways around it. Start the scenario with a trigger from another app, such as a form or a CRM, and place the Benetics AI modules after it. Or rely on the schedule set on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, the Free plan cannot go below 15 minutes, and paid plans go down to 1 minute. New Project Events and New Task Events are listed as actions, not triggers.
04What if a Benetics AI module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It can reach any endpoint of the Benetics AI API with the connection you already have, so you are not limited to the seven named modules. Keep in mind that Make's documentation for Benetics AI is limited, which means it will not tell you which endpoints exist or what they expect; get that from Benetics AI. If the limit comes from Make instead, the Free plan caps files at 5 MB and runs at 5 minutes, and paid plans raise the run time to 40 minutes.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Benetics AI?
It depends on what each tool offers for your case. On Make, Benetics AI comes with 8 action modules, no trigger, a generic API call module and documentation that Make itself calls limited. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check whether one exists and which operations it covers before you choose. If your other scenarios already run in Make, the simplest test is to try the Benetics AI modules there with Run once and see whether they return what you need. Compare real modules, not general rankings.
