What you can automate

What can the Businesslogic.online Make integration do for you?

The Businesslogic.online Make integration lets a Make scenario hand data to Businesslogic.online and get a result back. A scenario is the automation you build in Make, a chain of bricks called modules. Here all 6 modules are actions, so your scenario starts from another app or from a schedule, then calls Businesslogic.online.

Price a quote from your spreadsheet model. A sales rep fills in a request form, Make passes the answers to Run Excel Workbook Logic, and the result goes to your CRM. The rules stay in the workbook your finance lead already maintains.

Compute one value on the fly. When a single formula is enough, Run Excel Formula Lite (free to use) or Run Excel Formula Pro fit better than a whole workbook. Anything the listed modules miss can go through Make an API Call, which reuses the same connection.

Read figures out of a workbook. Get Excel Workbook Data is the one module named for reading rather than running logic, handy when a later step only needs the stored numbers.

A word of honesty: Make itself flags this app as having limited documentation, so it lists the modules without describing them. Test every module with Run once before you rely on it. If you are weighing tools, our n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, the Make pricing page explains what each plan allows, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.

Connect

How do you connect your Businesslogic.online account to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Businesslogic.online module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for Businesslogic.online and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, and every module of the app reuses it afterward.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a name if you like, such as the workspace it belongs to. Then either approve Make on the Businesslogic.online page that opens, or paste the key your Businesslogic.online account gives you, depending on what the window asks for.

  3. 03

    Save and reuse it

    Click Save. The connection now shows in the module, and you can fill in its fields. Every other Businesslogic.online module you add later offers the same connection in its dropdown, so you only do this once.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Businesslogic.online

GoalWhen a new request lands in another app, Make sends its data to Run Excel Workbook Logic and passes the result on.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where your requests arrive, a form tool for instance, and choose its module that starts the flow.

  2. 02

    Add Run Excel Workbook Logic

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search Businesslogic.online and choose Run Excel Workbook Logic. Select the connection you made earlier, or click Create a connection now.

  3. 03

    Map the incoming data

    Fill in the module fields. Once the connection works, Make lists what it can read from your account, and you map each value from the first module into the matching slot of your workbook.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and send one test request. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received. A bundle is one item passing between modules, here one request and its result.

  5. 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 on one bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What each Businesslogic.online module is for

Businesslogic.online gives you 6 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Businesslogic.online1

Get Excel Workbook Data

ActionIn the docs only

Pulls data out of an Excel workbook hosted on Businesslogic.online, so later modules can use its values. Make gives no official description for it, so treat its name as the guide.

When to use it
a step downstream needs numbers kept in the workbook, not a fresh calculation.
Watch out
run it once and inspect the bundle before mapping anything, since the returned structure is not documented.
Businesslogic.online2

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Reaches any endpoint of the Businesslogic.online API from your scenario, with the connection you already set up. It covers whatever the five named modules leave out.

When to use it
the action you need has no dedicated module in the list.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so run it once and read the answer before mapping it further.
Businesslogic.online3

Run Excel Formula Lite (free to use)

ActionIn the docs only

Lets you try a single Excel formula inside a scenario without building a full workbook. Its name marks it as free to use, which makes it a natural first test.

When to use it
you want to check that the connection and one simple calculation work end to end.
Watch out
the name is the only hint Make gives about its scope, so compare it with the Pro module on a real case.
Businesslogic.online4

Run Excel Formula Pro

ActionIn the docs only

Runs an Excel formula as a scenario step and hands the answer to the next module. It is the Pro counterpart of the Lite module above.

When to use it
the Lite version does not cover your formula and one calculation per bundle is all you need.
Watch out
Make does not list what separates Pro from Lite; run the same input through both before choosing.
Businesslogic.online5

Run Excel Workbook Logic

ActionIn the docs only

Sends inputs to a whole workbook and returns what its logic produces, so a quote, a score or an eligibility check keeps living in Excel. This is the module the first scenario on this page uses.

When to use it
your rule spans several sheets or cells, beyond what one formula can hold.
Watch out
each run on one bundle is one operation, so a batch of requests adds up on your plan.
Businesslogic.online6

Run Excel Workbook Logic (Legacy)

ActionIn the docs only

Keeps an older way of running workbook logic available, marked Legacy in its name. It matters mostly if a scenario built earlier already relies on it.

When to use it
you maintain an existing scenario and want its behavior to stay unchanged.
Watch out
for a new scenario, start with Run Excel Workbook Logic, and test both with Run once if you plan to switch.

FAQ

Businesslogic.online and Make: common questions

01Is the Businesslogic.online Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Businesslogic.online is a standard app, available from the Free plan like the 3,000+ other standard apps. The Free plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs scheduled scenarios at most every 15 minutes, caps each run at 5 minutes and files at 5 MB, with 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and allow runs of up to 40 minutes. Usage is counted in operations per month. What Businesslogic.online charges for its own service is a separate question this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect Businesslogic.online to Make?
A Businesslogic.online account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no other prerequisite for this app and gives no dedicated connection steps, so the generic flow applies. Add any Businesslogic.online module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the Businesslogic.online page or paste the key your account provides, and click Save. The connection is created once and every Businesslogic.online module in your scenarios can reuse it afterward, so there is nothing to repeat when you add the next module.
03Does the Businesslogic.online Make integration react in real time?
No, not on its own. Businesslogic.online has no trigger module in Make, only 6 actions, so it cannot start a scenario. You have two ways to begin. Put a trigger from another app first, the form or tool where your data appears, and add a Businesslogic.online module after it. Or rely on the schedule of the first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default on a new scenario. How fast the whole flow reacts then depends on that first trigger, not on Businesslogic.online.
04What if a Businesslogic.online module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. This module can call any endpoint of the Businesslogic.online API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, so it fills the gaps left by the five named modules. Keep in mind that Make marks this app as having limited documentation: the modules are listed without descriptions or documented limits. Before building anything important, run each module once with a test bundle and read what it returns. If the API route still does not fit, another app from the Make catalog may cover the step.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Businesslogic.online?
It depends on your criteria. On Make, Businesslogic.online comes with 6 modules, including Make an API Call, and runs from the Free plan, which is enough to test it on a real case. Apps listed in Make often have an n8n node as well, but this page does not document one for Businesslogic.online, so check the n8n side before comparing. Then weigh the modules each tool offers for your use, the tool your team already knows, and how each one counts usage. Our n8n vs Make comparison sets out those criteria in more detail.
