What you can automate

What can the CPF.CNPJ Make integration do for your team?

The CPF.CNPJ Make integration links your CPF.CNPJ account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of steps). Each step is a module, and this app brings four of them, all actions: they run when an earlier step hands them data. Nothing starts on its own from CPF.CNPJ.

Check a company before you sign it. A signup form or a spreadsheet row sends a CNPJ to Consulta CNPJ, and the answer flows on to the next module, for example your CRM, without anyone copying numbers between tabs.

Verify a person during onboarding. When a new customer enters their CPF, Consulta CPF runs the lookup inside the same scenario, so the check happens at the moment the data is typed instead of later in a pile.

Keep an eye on your account. Consulta Saldo, whose name means balance check, can sit at the start of a scenario so you see where your CPF.CNPJ account stands before a batch of lookups goes out.

What the documentation does not give: any trigger, any field list or any limit. It also warns that its text is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so confirm what matters with CPF.CNPJ directly. If you are still choosing a tool, read our Make review and the n8n vs Make comparison; to learn the editor step by step, the Make training covers it.

Connect

How do you connect CPF.CNPJ to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your API token

    Log in to CPF.CNPJ, open the control panel, go to the API section, then Tokens, and generate a new API token. Copy it right away: it is the key Make will use to call the service on your behalf.

  2. 02

    Add a module and open the connection

    In your Make scenario, add any CPF.CNPJ module and click Create a connection. A connection is your CPF.CNPJ account linked to Make once; every other CPF.CNPJ module reuses it.

  3. 03

    Paste the token and save

    Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like (this field is optional), paste the token you copied, and confirm. The module is then ready to fill.

First scenario

Your first scenario with CPF.CNPJ

GoalWhen a new company record reaches Make from another app, Make runs a CNPJ lookup on it with CPF.CNPJ.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Since CPF.CNPJ has no trigger, pick the app that holds your CNPJ numbers first, such as your form or spreadsheet tool.

  2. 02

    Add Consulta CNPJ

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search CPF.CNPJ and choose Consulta CNPJ. Create the connection with your token, or pick the one you already made.

  3. 03

    Map the number

    Fill the module by mapping the CNPJ that came from the first module. Each record passing through is a bundle, one item moving from one module to the next.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to run the scenario a single time, then open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and check the lookup answered.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

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

Modules

What the four CPF.CNPJ modules do

CPF.CNPJ gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

CPF.CNPJ1

Consulta CNPJ

ActionIn the docs only

This module sends a company registration number to CPF.CNPJ and brings the answer back into your scenario, so the next module can use it. Its name means CNPJ lookup; the documentation adds no description.

When to use it
a new supplier or B2B lead shows up with a CNPJ and you want the check done before anyone replies.
Watch out
every run is an operation, so place filters before it to skip rows that have no number.
CPF.CNPJ2

Consulta CPF

ActionIn the docs only

Here the lookup targets an individual instead of a company: you pass a CPF and the reply travels on as a bundle. The name translates as CPF lookup, and the official docs say nothing more about it.

When to use it
a customer signs up or fills a credit form and you need their CPF checked inside the same flow.
Watch out
this is personal data. Route the results only to tools where your team is allowed to store it.
CPF.CNPJ3

Consulta Saldo

ActionIn the docs only

Consulta Saldo reads a balance, as its Portuguese name says, and hands the figure to the rest of the scenario. The documentation does not say which balance it returns, so run it once and read the output before relying on it.

When to use it
at the head of a scenario that runs many lookups, to know where your account stands first.
Watch out
it costs an operation like any other module.
CPF.CNPJ4

Fazer uma chamada API

ActionIn the docs only

The name means make an API call, so this module is most likely the open door for requests the three lookups above do not cover. The documentation lists it without a single line of explanation or field.

When to use it
only once you know the exact request you want, from the CPF.CNPJ side.
Watch out
nothing is documented about how it behaves, so test it with Run once before plugging it into a live flow.

FAQ

CPF.CNPJ and Make: common questions

01Is the CPF.CNPJ Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side: CPF.CNPJ 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 and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute and allow 40 minutes of execution. Your CPF.CNPJ subscription is separate and is billed by CPF.CNPJ, not Make. Files are capped at 5 MB on Free, which rarely matters here since lookups move small records rather than documents.
02What do you need to connect CPF.CNPJ to Make?
An active CPF.CNPJ account and an API token. You create the token in the CPF.CNPJ control panel, under the API section and then Tokens. In Make, you add a CPF.CNPJ module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the token. The same connection then serves all four modules, so you only do this once per account. If you run into trouble, check the token first: a token copied incompletely will not work, and you can always generate a new one.
03Does the CPF.CNPJ Make integration react in real time?
No, because CPF.CNPJ has no trigger module in Make. A scenario has to start somewhere else: either on a trigger from another app, such as a form or CRM that already holds the numbers, or on the schedule you set on the first module. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and paid plans let you go down to 1 minute. In practice, pick the app that already receives the numbers and let it start the scenario, then add the CPF.CNPJ lookup right after it.
04What if a CPF.CNPJ module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The app has no Make an API Call module of the kind some apps offer, so there is no universal fallback from Make itself. There is a module named Fazer uma chamada API, but the documentation does not describe it, so test it before counting on it. For anything beyond that, look for another app that covers the need, or ask the team for help.
05Should you use Make or n8n for CPF.CNPJ?
It depends on where the rest of your automations already live. On Make, CPF.CNPJ comes with four ready modules and a guided connection by token. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check whether your team already works in one of the two tools and stay there. Neither choice changes what CPF.CNPJ returns; the lookup service is the same. This page does not rank the two; both can call the same CPF.CNPJ account, and the n8n vs Make comparison linked above lays out the criteria side by side.
