What does the BookFunnel Make integration do?
The BookFunnel Make integration links your BookFunnel account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger or an action. BookFunnel then reacts to readers and hands out book links without you copying anything by hand.
Every new subscriber reaches your other tools. Watch Book Events fires when a reader subscribes to a list or claims a book, so the reader's details can land in a spreadsheet, a CRM or a team chat the moment it happens.
Buyers get their copy without a manual step. When a sale is recorded in another app, Send an Email Link delivers a book link to that buyer. Create a Link and Create a Landing Page Link produce the links you want to share in a newsletter or on a store page.
Anything the list misses stays reachable. Make an API Call reuses the same connection to reach any endpoint of the BookFunnel API.
One honest limit: Make states that its BookFunnel documentation is incomplete, because little public information exists about the app. Expect to test each module with Run once before you rely on it; the Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails. New to the editor? The Make training covers the basics, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps if you are still choosing a tool.
How do you connect BookFunnel to Make?
- 01
Add a BookFunnel module
In your scenario, add any BookFunnel module and click Create a connection. A connection is your BookFunnel account linked to Make once, then reused by every BookFunnel module you add later.
- 02
Name it and authorize
Give the connection a name if you manage several accounts, for example one per pen name. Then authorize Make on the BookFunnel page, or paste the key BookFunnel gives you when the window asks for one.
- 03
Save and check
Click Save. The module now shows your account. To confirm the key really works, you can run the Test API Key module on its own before building anything bigger.
Your first scenario: send a book link after a sale
GoalWhen a sale lands in your store app, Make asks BookFunnel to email the buyer a link to the book.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. This first module is the app where the sale happens, such as your shop or payment tool.
- 02
Pick the sale event
Search your store app by name, choose the module that watches new orders, and connect that account. Each order then reaches the next module as one bundle, meaning one item with the buyer's details.
- 03
Add Send an Email Link
Click the + on the right of the first module, search BookFunnel and pick Send an Email Link. Create the BookFunnel connection, then fill the module's fields with the buyer's details from the order.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once and place a test order, ideally with your own address. Open each module's bubble to read the bundles it received and check that the email really arrived.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
If the first module shows a clock badge, set its schedule (every 15 minutes by default). Then switch the scenario on. Each run uses operations, one per module per bundle, which is what Make counts on your plan.
What can start a BookFunnel scenario?
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in BookFunnel. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by BookFunnel as soon as it happens.
Watch Book Events
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a reader subscribes to a list or claims a book.”
This trigger puts your reader activity to work: each time someone subscribes to one of your lists or claims a book, the scenario starts with that reader's event as its first bundle. It is the only BookFunnel module that can open a scenario.
What can Make do in BookFunnel?
BookFunnel gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create a Link
ActionIn Make“Creates a link to a book.”
You get a fresh link to one of your books, ready to paste into a newsletter, a message or another app further down the scenario. It saves a trip to the BookFunnel dashboard each time a campaign needs a link.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
This module lets you reach any endpoint of the BookFunnel API with the connection you already set up, so nothing is out of bounds just because no ready-made module exists for it.
Send an Email Link
ActionIn Make“Sends a link to a user.”
Your reader receives a book link straight in their inbox, sent through BookFunnel, without you writing a single email by hand. Pick it over Create a Link when the goal is delivery to one person, not a link to share around.
Test API Key
ActionIn Make“Tests your API key and receives a response.”
You find out whether BookFunnel accepts your key, and you see the response it sends back. It changes nothing in your account, which makes it the safe first module when a connection looks wrong.
Create a Landing Page Link
ActionIn the docs onlyGoing by its name, this gives you a link to a BookFunnel landing page rather than a direct book link. Make publishes no description for it yet, so treat that as a reading of the name, not a promise.
