What you can automate

What can the CNPJá Make integration do for you?

The CNPJá Make integration links your CNPJá account to Make, a tool where you build a scenario (an automation made of connected steps) without code. Each step is a module, one brick of the scenario. CNPJá brings 7 of them, all actions: they run when another step or a schedule calls them.

Enrich a record when it arrives. A form, a CRM or a sheet in another app hands over a CNPJ, and Consulta CNPJ runs the lookup right after it. What comes back depends on your CNPJá account, so read it once in the editor before mapping it anywhere.

Add a place to a supplier file. The names of Obter Mapa Aéreo and Obter Visão da Rua translate to aerial map and street view. Placed after a lookup, they are the modules to test when a visual of the address would help your team.

Keep an eye on your quota. Obter Saldo de Créditos, whose name means credit balance, can sit at the start of a scenario so you see where your CNPJá account stands before a batch of lookups.

What the page cannot promise: the Make documentation for CNPJá describes no module in detail and warns that it was produced with AI help from the vendor docs, so it may contain mistakes. Check fields in the editor and ask CNPJá when something looks off. If a run fails, Make troubleshooting walks through the usual causes, and Make training covers the editor from zero.

Connect

How do you connect your CNPJá account to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key from CNPJá

    You need an active CNPJá account first. Sign in, open the API key section of your dashboard and copy the key shown on screen. Keep it at hand: Make asks for it in a moment.

  2. 02

    Add a CNPJá module in Make

    In your scenario, add any CNPJá module and click Create a connection. A connection is your CNPJá account linked to Make once, then reused by every CNPJá module. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows in the window, then confirm. The connection now appears in the list of every CNPJá module you add afterwards.

First scenario

Your first scenario: look up a CNPJ that another app sends

GoalWhen another app hands over a new CNPJ, Make runs Consulta CNPJ on it so the result is ready for the next step.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since CNPJá has no trigger, this first module comes from the app that holds your CNPJ numbers.

  2. 02

    Pick the starting app

    Search the app where the CNPJ appears, such as your form or sheet tool, choose its module and link that account. Each new item it passes on is a bundle, one record flowing to the next step.

  3. 03

    Add Consulta CNPJ

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search CNPJá and pick Consulta CNPJ. Select your connection, then map the CNPJ value coming from the previous module into its field.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received. Open the Consulta CNPJ output to see which values CNPJá returns before you send them anywhere.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module with the clock: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go faster. Then switch the scenario on so it runs without you.

Modules

What each CNPJá module does in Make

CNPJá gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

CNPJá1

Consulta CNPJ

ActionIn the docs only

You get a CNPJ lookup inside your scenario: the module name is Portuguese for CNPJ query, and it is the natural first brick when a record carries that number. The Make docs give no field list, so read the output in the editor.

When to use it
a supplier or a lead arrives with a CNPJ and you want the lookup to happen before anyone opens the record.
Watch out
each run counts as one operation, meaning one module execution on your Make plan.
CNPJá2

Consulta Empresa

ActionIn the docs only

A company-level lookup is what this one offers, going by its name, which translates to company query. It sits next to Consulta CNPJ, and the documentation does not explain how the two differ.

When to use it
your scenario deals with a company as a whole rather than a single registration number, and you want to compare both outputs.
Watch out
run both modules once on the same input and compare the bundles before you choose one for good.
CNPJá3

Consulta Pessoa

ActionIn the docs only

Here the lookup targets a person: Consulta Pessoa means person query in Portuguese. Make lists it as an action with no description, so what it asks for and returns is visible only once the module is open.

When to use it
a contact record, such as a partner or a signatory, needs checking inside the same flow as the company lookup.
Watch out
personal data travels through your scenario, so decide where the output is stored before you switch it on.
CNPJá4

Fazer uma chamada API

ActionIn the docs only

This module's name translates to make an API call, which suggests a way to reach CNPJá endpoints the other modules do not cover. The Make docs describe nothing about it, so treat that as a lead to check, not a promise.

When to use it
none of the six named modules fits your request and you are comfortable reading CNPJá's own API documentation.
Watch out
test it with Run once on a harmless request first.
CNPJá5

Obter Mapa Aéreo

ActionIn the docs only

An aerial map of a place is the result its name promises: Obter Mapa Aéreo reads as get aerial map. No format or size is documented, so check in the editor what the module hands to the next step.

When to use it
after a company lookup, when a view from above helps your team judge an address, a warehouse or a site.
Watch out
if the output is a file, the Free plan caps files at 5 MB.
CNPJá6

Obter Saldo de Créditos

ActionIn the docs only

Knowing how many CNPJá credits remain is the point of this module, whose name means get credit balance. Going by its name, it reads your balance and looks nothing up, so it fits before the lookup steps.

When to use it
at the start of a scenario that fires many lookups, so you see the balance before they run.
Watch out
this balance is your CNPJá quota, separate from the operations Make counts on your plan.
CNPJá7

Obter Visão da Rua

ActionIn the docs only

A street-level picture of an address is what Obter Visão da Rua, literally get street view, is named for. It complements the aerial map with the angle a visitor would see at the door.

When to use it
onboarding a new supplier or checking a delivery address, where the facade tells your team more than the map does.
Watch out
the docs give no detail on its input, so map the address from an earlier lookup and verify with Run once.

FAQ

Questions about the CNPJá Make integration

01Is the CNPJá Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. CNPJá is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 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 and count usage in credits per month. On the CNPJá side you still need an active account and an API key; the subscription terms are on the CNPJá pricing page, not in Make.
02What do you need to connect CNPJá to Make?
An active CNPJá account and its API key. You find the key in the API key section of your CNPJá dashboard and copy it as shown. In Make, add any CNPJá module, click Create a connection, optionally give it a name, then paste the key or follow the on-screen instructions. The connection is saved once and reused by all 7 CNPJá modules, so you never enter the key again for the next module you add to a scenario.
03Does the CNPJá Make integration have a trigger?
No. All 7 CNPJá modules are actions, so none of them can start a scenario by itself. You have two ways to launch one. Put a trigger from another app first, for example the tool where new CNPJ numbers appear, and let Make pass each item to Consulta CNPJ. Or rely on the schedule of the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, which is also the shortest interval on the Free plan.
04What if a CNPJá module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The Make-wide Make an API Call module is not listed for CNPJá. There is a module named Fazer uma chamada API, but the Make documentation does not describe it, so test it on a harmless request before building on it. The CNPJá page in the Make docs also warns that it was drafted with AI help and may contain mistakes, so confirm details with CNPJá. If the gap remains, another app or the Hack'celeration team can help you find a workaround.
05Should you use Make or n8n for CNPJá?
It depends on where your team already builds. This page covers Make, where CNPJá is a standard app with 7 action modules, open from the Free plan and connected with a single API key. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether CNPJá has one before you decide. No ranking between the two tools is made here: compare the modules each one offers for CNPJá, how your team likes to work, and which tool already runs your other automations.
