What you can automate

What can the Billplz Make integration do for you?

The Billplz Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make as a chain of bricks called modules, create, read and delete bills in your Billplz account and list your collections. You pick the modules, map the data, and Make does the clicking for you.

Bill a customer without opening Billplz. When an order, a booking or a form entry arrives in another app, Create a Bill turns it into a Billplz bill. The shop owner stops retyping each order into Billplz.

Keep a status sheet honest. A freelancer who tracks invoices in a spreadsheet can use Get a Bill to pull the details of one bill and write them next to the matching row, so the sheet reflects what Billplz actually holds.

Clean up after a cancellation. When a booking is cancelled upstream, Delete a Bill removes the bill that no longer has a reason to exist. Pair it with Get Collections when a report needs the full list of your collections.

What Make does not offer here: Billplz has no trigger module, so nothing in Billplz itself can start a scenario, and there is no Make an API Call module for requests outside the four modules. To judge the tool first, read our Make review; to see how plans count usage, check Make pricing. The same app often has an n8n node too, and n8n vs Make lays out how the two tools differ.

Connect

How do you connect Billplz to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key in Billplz

    Log in to your Billplz dashboard, open the Settings menu and click the API Keys tab. Choose the Production or Sandbox environment, then copy the key shown on screen. You need an active Billplz account for this.

  2. 02

    Add a Billplz module in Make

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

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a clear name in the optional Connection name field, such as the shop or the environment it points to. Paste the API key you copied, follow the on-screen instructions, and save. The module can now talk to your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Billplz and Make

GoalWhen a new order shows up in another app, Make creates the matching bill in Billplz.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Add the module of the app where orders arrive first, since Billplz has no trigger of its own to start the flow.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Bill

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Billplz and pick Create a Bill. Select the connection you built earlier, or click Create a connection if this is your first time.

  3. 03

    Map the order data

    Fill the module fields by mapping values from the first module: whatever the module asks for comes straight from the order, so you type nothing twice. Each order travels as a bundle, one item passed from a module to the next.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received, then check in Billplz that the bill looks right.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, which checks every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What each Billplz module does in Make

Billplz gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Billplz1

Create a Bill

Action

In Make“Creates a bill for the customer.”

This module issues a new bill in your Billplz account for a customer, using data mapped from earlier steps, so nobody has to type the details twice.

When to use it
right after an order, a booking or a signed quote appears in another app and the customer should receive a bill for it.
Watch out
test with Run once on a single bundle first, because every bundle that reaches this module produces its own bill.
Billplz2

Delete a Bill

Action

In Make“Deletes a specific bill.”

You get rid of one specific bill from Billplz without logging in, which keeps your account free of bills tied to orders that no longer exist.

When to use it
when an order or a booking is cancelled in the app where it started and its bill should disappear with it.
Watch out
a deletion cannot be taken back from Make, so add a filter or a check before this module instead of letting every bundle through.
Billplz3

Get a Bill

Action

In Make“Get a specific bill information.”

It fetches the information Billplz holds about one bill and hands it to the next module, ready to be written into a sheet, a CRM or a message.

When to use it
when a scenario already knows which bill it is dealing with and needs its current details before updating another tool.
Watch out
it reads a single bill, so the bill has to be mapped from an earlier module; it will not search across your account.
Billplz4

Get Collections

Search

In Make“Get a list of collections.”

Make returns the list of collections in your Billplz account, one bundle per collection, so later modules can work through them one by one.

When to use it
to copy your collections into a spreadsheet or a report, or whenever a later step needs to pick among them.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many bundles, and every module after it runs once per bundle, which adds operations on your plan.

FAQ

Billplz and Make: common questions

01Is the Billplz Make integration free?
Yes, Billplz is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan onward. The Free plan comes with limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, 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 count usage in credits each month. Your Billplz subscription is a separate matter handled by Billplz.
02What do you need to connect Billplz to Make?
You need an active Billplz account and an API key. In the Billplz dashboard, open Settings, go to the API Keys tab, choose the Production or Sandbox environment and copy the key. Back in Make, add a Billplz module to a scenario, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key. That connection is then reused by all four Billplz modules, so you only do this once per account and environment.
03Does the Billplz Make integration react in real time?
No, because Billplz has no trigger module in Make, so nothing in Billplz can start a scenario on its own. The scenario starts either from a trigger of another app, such as a new order or form entry, or from the schedule set on its first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan, 15 minutes is also the shortest interval; paid plans go down to 1 minute. The Billplz modules then act on whatever that first module passes along.
04What if a Billplz module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The Billplz app offers four modules, Create a Bill, Delete a Bill, Get a Bill and Get Collections, and it has no Make an API Call module, so a request outside those four cannot be sent from the Billplz app itself. Check first whether another app in your scenario can cover the gap. If the need is specific to your setup, the Hack'celeration team can look at your case and suggest a way to build it.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Billplz?
It depends on the tool your team already runs and on the modules you need. On Make, Billplz covers creating, reading and deleting bills plus listing collections, with a visual editor and a guided connection by API key. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so compare what each side offers for your exact use case before you choose. The n8n vs Make comparison linked earlier on this page walks through the criteria without ranking either tool.
