calley Make integrationAutomate calley with Make.

Can Make put new people into a calley list without anyone typing them in? Yes. The calley Make integration gives you 2 action modules: one adds a user to a list in the calley web panel, the other calls the calley API directly. This page connects your account and builds a first scenario with you.

What you can automate

What does the calley Make integration actually do?

The calley Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, write into calley for you. Each module is one brick of that chain. Here there are 2, both actions: Create a User adds someone to a chosen list in the calley web panel, and Make an API Call reaches any other endpoint with the same connection.

Because calley has no trigger of its own, the scenario always starts somewhere else. Picture a sales team whose leads arrive through a web form: the form app opens the flow, and Create a User drops each new lead into the right calley list, so nobody copies names by hand.

A second pattern works from a spreadsheet or a CRM row that changes status. The row is the bundle, meaning the item passed from one module to the next, and calley receives it as a new user in the list your callers work from. If you already collect contacts through another tool, pages such as 123FormBuilder Make integration show what that first half can look like.

A third case covers everything the listed module skips. Make an API Call sends an authorized request to the calley API, which is how you reach an endpoint that has no dedicated module.

Know the limit before you plan: Make says its calley documentation is incomplete, because there is not enough public information about the app. Expect to test each module with real data. calley may also have an n8n node; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out how the two tools differ, and the Make review covers the editor itself.

Connect

How do you connect calley to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a calley module

    Open your scenario, click the +, search for calley and pick Create a User. In the module panel, click Create a connection. A connection is your calley account linked to Make once, then reused by both calley modules.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This step is optional but pays off later. Give the connection a name that says which calley account it points to, for instance the team or the workspace, so you pick the right one when several accounts exist.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Authorize Make on the calley page that opens, or paste the key calley gives you, depending on what the window asks for. Then click Save. Both calley modules can now use it.

First scenario

Your first scenario: send form leads to a calley list

GoalWhen a lead comes in through another app, Make adds that person to a calley list.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first module comes from the app where your leads arrive, since calley has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Create a User

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search calley and choose Create a User. Create the connection or pick the one you already saved.

  3. 03

    Map the lead

    Fill the module fields with data from the first module. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read in calley, which helps you point the user to the right list.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to run the scenario a single time. Read the bundles each module received, then check that the person shows up in the calley list.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. Each run of a module on one bundle is an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What can the calley modules do?

calley gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

calley1

Create a User

Action

In Make“Creates an user in calley web panel in particular list.”

This module puts one new person into a list you pick in the calley web panel, so your callers find the contact ready. It works on a single bundle at a time: one lead in, one user created.

When to use it
right after a form, a CRM or a spreadsheet hands you a fresh contact that belongs in a calling list.
Watch out
Make's calley documentation is incomplete, so run the scenario once with a test contact and confirm the result in calley before switching it on.
calley2

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

With this module you reach any endpoint of the calley API while reusing the same connection, which covers actions that have no dedicated module in Make. You write the request yourself, and Make handles the authorization.

When to use it
when Create a User is not enough and the calley API offers the call you need.
Watch out
Make does not describe the calley API, so read calley's own reference before building the request and test it with Run once.

FAQ

calley and Make: common questions

01Is the calley Make integration free?
Yes, calley is a standard app, so it works from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits per month. Nothing here covers the price of calley itself.
02What do you need to connect calley to Make?
A calley account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no special prerequisite for calley, so you follow the generic steps: add a calley module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make on the calley page or paste the key calley provides, then save. The same connection then serves both calley modules, Create a User and Make an API Call. If you manage several calley accounts, create one connection per account and give each a clear name.
03Does calley trigger Make scenarios in real time?
No, calley has no trigger module in Make, neither scheduled nor instant. To start a scenario that feeds calley, open it with a trigger from another app, such as the form or CRM where contacts appear, or with a Make schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. If the source app offers an instant trigger, it calls Make through a webhook as soon as something happens. Once the source is chosen, test the whole flow with Run once before switching it on.
04What if a calley module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends an authorized request to any endpoint of the calley API with the connection you already have, which covers what Create a User does not. Keep in mind that Make says its calley documentation is limited because little public information exists about the app, so you rely on calley's own API reference and test every request with Run once before activating the scenario. A test contact is enough to check the response.
05Should you use Make or n8n for calley?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. In Make, calley offers 2 modules: Create a User for adding someone to a list and Make an API Call for the rest, available from the Free plan. The same app often has an n8n node too. Compare what each tool exposes for calley against the actions you need, then pick the editor your team is comfortable maintaining over time. A short test on both sides also helps.
