What you can automate

What can the CmonSite Make integration do for your blog?

The CmonSite Make integration lets Make create, read, edit and delete the blog articles of your CmonSite website for you. You build a scenario (the automation you set up in Make, a chain of modules), and each module does one job on your blog, with no code to write.

Publish from somewhere else. Your posts are drafted in another tool. A scenario picks up each new draft there and hands it to Créer un Article de Blog, so the article lands on your site without copy and paste.

Keep live posts in sync. When the source text changes, Éditer un Article de Blog updates the matching article instead of creating a second one.

Audit or tidy the blog. Lister les Articles de Blog shows what is online, Récupérer un Article de Blog reads one post in detail, and Supprimer un Article de Blog removes the ones you no longer want.

What it does not do: CmonSite has no trigger in Make, so the site never starts a scenario by itself. Something else starts it, another app or a schedule. Also note that the official CmonSite page on Make is AI-generated and warns it may contain errors, so test each module before you rely on it. For an outside view of the platform, read our Make review; if you are still choosing a tool, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and Make pricing explains how runs are counted.

Connect

How do you connect your CmonSite account to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    Sign in to CmonSite and open the Developer or API section of your account. The key you need is the one named api_key. You need an active CmonSite account first, otherwise there is no key to copy.

  2. 02

    Add a CmonSite module

    In your Make scenario, add any CmonSite module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your CmonSite account linked to Make once and reused by every CmonSite module afterward.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a name in Connection name if you like (it is optional, but helpful with several sites), paste your API key where Make asks for it, and confirm. The module can now talk to your blog.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with CmonSite

GoalWhen a new draft is ready in another app, Make creates the matching blog article in CmonSite.

  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 drafts live, since CmonSite has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Créer un Article de Blog

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for CmonSite and pick Créer un Article de Blog. Click Create a connection and paste your API key.

  3. 03

    Map the draft into the article

    Fill the fields Make shows for the article by mapping data from the first module. Each bundle (one item passing from one module to the next, here one draft) becomes one article.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to run the scenario a single time. Read the bundles each module received, then check the new article on your site.

  5. 05

    Schedule it and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

Every CmonSite module, and when to reach for it

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

CmonSite1

Créer un Article de Blog

ActionIn the docs only

Gets a new article onto your CmonSite blog straight from a scenario, so content written elsewhere reaches the site without anyone pasting it in.

When to use it
a draft is approved in your writing tool and should go online as a fresh post rather than change an existing one.
Watch out
it runs once per bundle, so a test with ten drafts gives you ten articles.
CmonSite2

Lister les Articles de Blog

ActionIn the docs only

Gives you the list of articles already on your CmonSite blog, which is the starting point for any check, report or cleanup across posts.

When to use it
you want an overview of what is published before deciding what to update or remove.
Watch out
run it once with Run once and read what comes back before you chain other modules after it.
CmonSite3

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Opens the rest of the CmonSite API to your scenario, reusing the connection you already made, for anything the five blog modules do not cover.

When to use it
the action you need is outside blog articles or missing from the list.
Watch out
the Make page does not list the available endpoints, so check them with CmonSite before you build.
CmonSite4

Récupérer un Article de Blog

ActionIn the docs only

Brings back one specific article in detail, so the next module can reuse its content, send it somewhere else or compare it with another source.

When to use it
you already know which post matters and need its content, not the whole blog.
Watch out
if you are not sure which article to target, start with Lister les Articles de Blog to see what exists.
CmonSite5

Supprimer un Article de Blog

ActionIn the docs only

Takes an article off your CmonSite blog automatically, which helps when outdated or duplicate posts pile up faster than you can remove them by hand.

When to use it
a post has been withdrawn in your source tool and should disappear from the site too.
Watch out
the documentation mentions no way to restore a post, so test it on a throwaway article first.
CmonSite6

Éditer un Article de Blog

ActionIn the docs only

Updates an article that is already online, keeping the same post instead of publishing a near copy next to it.

When to use it
a correction or a new version arrives for a post that readers can already see.
Watch out
point it at the right article; pairing it with Récupérer un Article de Blog lets you check the current content before you change it.

FAQ

Questions about the CmonSite Make integration

01Is the CmonSite Make integration free?
Yes, CmonSite is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan. The Free plan has limits worth knowing: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between 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) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run on one bundle. You still need your own active CmonSite account.
02What do you need to connect CmonSite to Make?
You need an active CmonSite account and its API key. Sign in to CmonSite, open the Developer or API section and copy the value named api_key. In Make, add any CmonSite module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, paste the key and confirm. That single connection then serves all six CmonSite modules, so you only do this once per CmonSite account. If the key is refused, check first that the account is active and that you copied the right value.
03Does CmonSite have a trigger in Make?
No, all six CmonSite modules are actions, so CmonSite cannot start a scenario on its own. You start it another way. The first option is a trigger from another app, for example the tool where your drafts are written. The second is a schedule on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, never more often than every 15 minutes on the Free plan, and down to every minute on paid plans. The CmonSite modules then act on your blog each time the scenario runs.
04What if a CmonSite module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need, but the CmonSite app includes Make an API Call. That module can call any endpoint of the CmonSite API from your scenario, with the same connection as the other modules, so it covers what the five blog modules do not. The Make documentation does not list those endpoints, so check them with CmonSite. Keep in mind that the official CmonSite page on Make is AI-generated and may contain errors; for anything important, verify with CmonSite directly.
05Should you use Make or n8n for CmonSite?
It depends on your criteria rather than on a winner. On Make, CmonSite has a native app with six modules covering blog articles plus Make an API Call, and it runs from the Free plan. Many apps also have an n8n node, but nothing here confirms one for CmonSite, so check the n8n side before you decide. Then compare what matters to you: which tool your team already uses, how each counts usage, and whether the modules you need exist natively.
