Blooio Make integrationAutomate Blooio with Make.
What if your iMessage inbox could talk to the rest of your tools? The Blooio Make integration gives you 3 modules: 1 instant trigger and 2 actions. This guide shows what each one is for, how to link your account and how to build a first scenario that sends a message on its own.

What can you automate with the Blooio Make integration?
The Blooio Make integration links your Blooio messaging account to Make, a no-code tool where you chain apps together. You build a scenario (the automation itself, made of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger or an action). Blooio brings two things to it: hearing about events on your iMessage instance, and sending messages.
Confirm bookings by text. Your scenario starts on another app, say a booking tool or a form. Each new entry flows into Send Message, and the customer gets a message from your Blooio line without anyone typing it.
Keep a record of conversations. Watch iMessages Event Received fires when your instance gets an event, like a received message or a read receipt. Send that event to a spreadsheet or a CRM and your sales team sees who answered, without opening a phone.
Reach what the modules skip. Two actions is a short list. Make an API Call reuses the same connection to call any endpoint of the Blooio API, so you are not stuck when the module you want is missing.
What Make does not give you here: the Blooio documentation on Make is not available, so there are no official limits or setup notes to lean on. Test each step with Run once before trusting it. Blooio also has an n8n node; see the Blooio n8n integration and the n8n vs Make comparison. New to the editor? The Make training starts from zero.
How do you connect your Blooio account to Make?
- 01
Add a Blooio module
In your scenario, click the + and search for Blooio. Pick any of its modules, then click Create a connection. A connection is your Blooio account linked to Make once, then reused by every Blooio module you add later.
- 02
Name it and authorize
Give the connection a name if you like, for example the line or the team it belongs to. Then follow what Blooio asks: either approve Make on the Blooio page that opens, or paste the key Blooio gives you in your account.
- 03
Save and check
Click Save. The connection now shows in the module, and Make can read your account. If you manage several Blooio accounts, create one connection per account so you always know which line sends what.
Your first scenario: text a customer when a booking comes in
GoalWhen a new booking lands in the tool your customers use, Make sends them a message through Blooio.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. That first brick is the trigger of your booking tool, the app where each new booking appears.
- 02
Link the booking app
Search the booking app by name, pick its trigger module and click Create a connection. Fill its fields: once connected, Make lists what it can read in that account.
- 03
Add Send Message
Click the + on the right of the first module and add Blooio Send Message. Connect your Blooio account, then map the booking data from the first module into the fields Make shows.
- 04
Test with Run once
Create a test booking with your own phone number, then click Run once. Each module shows the bundles it received (a bundle is one item passing through, here one booking). Check the message reached your phone.
- 05
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as an operation, the unit Make tracks on your plan.
What starts a Blooio scenario?
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Blooio. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Blooio as soon as it happens.
Watch iMessages Event Received
Instant triggerIn Make“This triggers when your iMessage instance gets a new event. (ie: message received, read receipt, etc.)”
This trigger wakes your scenario whenever your Blooio iMessage instance registers something new. That covers an incoming message, and also events such as a read receipt, so one trigger can feed a log, a CRM note or an alert to your team.
What can Blooio do in a Make scenario?
Blooio gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
This module talks to the Blooio API directly, using the connection you already created. It is your way out when the two ready-made modules do not cover a need, since any endpoint of the API is reachable from here.
Send Message
ActionIn Make“This module sends a message using the Blooio v2 API”
Send Message pushes a message out from your Blooio account through its v2 API. It is the module that turns an event somewhere else, a paid order or a new lead, into a text the person actually reads.
