What you can automate

What can the Cuttly Team Make integration do?

The Cuttly Team Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, work on your team's short links for you. Each module is one brick of that chain: here, 9 actions that shorten a URL, change its settings, pull its statistics or delete it, with no code to write.

Campaign links ready to post. When a marketer adds a landing page to a planning sheet, Shorten an URL turns it into a short link, Update UTM sets the campaign tracking, and Create a Tag files it under the right campaign. Nobody copies and pastes URLs by hand anymore.

Click numbers where the team reads them. Get an URL Analytics fetches the statistics of a short link so a later module can write them into a report or a shared table.

Links that follow the website. A product page moved? Update Source URL points the existing short link to the new address, so printed flyers and old posts keep working. Update URL Expiration and Delete an URL close links once an offer is over.

What Make does not do here: Cuttly Team has no trigger module, so a click cannot start a scenario by itself. Something else has to launch it, a schedule or another app. If you are still choosing a tool, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, Make pricing explains what each plan counts, and Make training helps you go further.

Connect

How do you connect Cuttly Team to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your team's API key

    On the Cuttly website, open the team you want to automate, click the Team settings tab and copy the key shown in the API section. Make will use it to act on that team's links.

  2. 02

    Open a Cuttly Team module in Make

    Add any Cuttly Team module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Cuttly Team account linked to Make once, then reused by every Cuttly Team module.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a clear name in Connection name if you like, for example the team's name, then paste the API key and confirm. Make can now read and change that team's short links.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Cuttly Team

GoalWhen a new long URL shows up in another app, Make shortens it with Cuttly Team and tags it for the campaign.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. It comes from the app where your long URLs live, such as a sheet or a form.

  2. 02

    Add Shorten an URL

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Cuttly Team and pick Shorten an URL. Select your connection, or create it with the API key if this is your first module.

  3. 03

    Map the long URL

    In the module fields, map the URL coming from the first module. Each bundle, one item passing from module to module, carries its own URL, so every new row gets its own short link.

  4. 04

    Tag the new link

    Add Create a Tag after the shortener and map the short link it returned. Choose a tag that matches your campaign so the link is easy to find later in Cuttly.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and check that the short link and its tag look right.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Make now shortens and tags each new URL without you opening Cuttly.

Modules

What can each Cuttly Team module do?

Cuttly Team gives you 9 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Cuttly Team1

Create a Tag

Action

In Make“Sets a tag for your short URL.”

Attaches a tag to one of your short links, so links that belong together stay grouped in Cuttly instead of piling up in one long list.

When to use it
right after a link is created for a campaign, a client or a product launch, so the team can filter every link of that project in a second.
Watch out
this module works on a link that already exists; place it after Shorten an URL and map the short link it returned.
Cuttly Team2

Delete an URL

Action

In Make“Deletes your short URL.”

Removes a short link from your Cuttly Team account. Anyone who clicks it afterward no longer reaches the page you pointed it to.

When to use it
when a promotion is withdrawn or a link was created by mistake and should not stay in circulation.
Watch out
a deletion cannot be undone from Make. If you only want to pause a link, look at Update URL Expiration first, and add a filter so the scenario never deletes the wrong one.
Cuttly Team3

Get an URL Analytics

Action

In Make“Gets statistic information about your shortened URL.”

Brings the statistics of a short link into your scenario, so the numbers can flow into a spreadsheet, a report or a message to the team.

When to use it
when someone keeps asking how a campaign link is performing and you would rather have the answer land in a shared table than log into Cuttly each time.
Watch out
the module only reads; add a second module from another app to store or send what it returns.
Cuttly Team4

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Sends any request the Cuttly API accepts, using the connection you already set up, which covers what the eight other modules leave out.

When to use it
when the Cuttly API documentation describes an operation you need and none of the listed modules offers it.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself, so keep the Cuttly API documentation open and test the call with Run once before relying on it.
Cuttly Team5

Shorten an URL

Action

In Make“Returns a shortened URL.”

Turns a long address into a Cuttly short link and hands that short link to the next module. It is the starting point of most Cuttly Team scenarios.

When to use it
whenever a new page, product or article URL appears in another app and needs a clean link before it goes into an email, a post or a QR code.
Watch out
each bundle creates one link, so a scenario that receives the same URL twice will shorten it twice.
Cuttly Team6

Update Source URL

Action

In Make“Changes source URL of your short URL.”

Changes the destination of an existing short link while the short link itself stays the same, so everything already printed or shared keeps working.

When to use it
a landing page moves to a new address, a product is replaced by a newer version, or a form is swapped for another one.
Watch out
every click now goes to the new page, so double check the mapped address with Run once before the scenario goes live.
Cuttly Team7

Update Unique Clicks

Action

In Make“Toggles unique clicks for your short URL.”

Switches the unique clicks option of a short link on or off, so you decide link by link whether Cuttly reports unique clicks.

When to use it
when your reports rely on unique clicks and you would rather set the option on every new campaign link automatically than open each one in Cuttly.
Watch out
the module toggles the setting; check the current state of the link before running it so you do not switch it back by accident.
Cuttly Team8

Update URL Expiration

Action

In Make“Toggles URL expiration for your short URL.”

Turns the expiration option of a short link on or off, a softer way to handle an ending campaign than deleting the link outright.

When to use it
when an offer, an event registration or a limited promotion is about to end and you want its link set to expire instead of removed.
Watch out
like Update Unique Clicks, this is a toggle, so run it once per change and confirm the result on the link.
Cuttly Team9

Update UTM

Action

In Make“Changes your shortened URL's UTM.”

Edits the UTM parameters of a short link, the tags that tell your analytics tool which campaign and channel a visit came from.

When to use it
after Shorten an URL, to stamp each campaign link with its source and medium, or later when the marketing team renames a campaign.
Watch out
map the values from one place, such as your planning sheet, so the same campaign never ends up spelled two different ways.

FAQ

Cuttly Team and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Cuttly Team Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Cuttly Team is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid Make plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the limit on active scenarios. On the Cuttly side, you need a registered account with an API key, and some features require a paid Cuttly Team subscription.
02What does it take to connect Cuttly Team to Make?
You need a registered Cuttly Team account and its API key. Open the team you want to automate on the Cuttly website, go to the Team settings tab and copy the key from the API section. In Make, add a Cuttly Team module, click Create a connection, name it if you wish and paste the key. That connection is then reused by all 9 Cuttly Team modules, so you only do this once per team.
03Can a Cuttly Team scenario start in real time?
Not from Cuttly Team itself, because the app has no trigger module in Make: a click or a new link cannot launch a scenario. You start the scenario another way. Either set a schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default and down to 1 minute on paid plans, or open the scenario with an instant trigger from another app, the kind that calls Make through a webhook as soon as something happens, and place the Cuttly Team modules after it.
04What if a Cuttly Team module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It is available for Cuttly Team and sends any request the Cuttly API accepts through the connection you already created, so anything the API offers can be reached from your scenario. Keep the vendor documentation open while you build the request and test it with Run once. Also note that Make's own documentation for this app is AI-generated from the Cuttly Team docs, so verify important details with Cuttly directly.
05Make or n8n for Cuttly Team: which one fits?
It depends on the tool you already run. In Make, Cuttly Team comes with 9 ready modules plus Make an API Call, it works from the Free plan, and each module is set up visually with one shared connection. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for Cuttly Team before deciding. If your other automations already live in one of the two tools, keeping your link workflows there is usually the simpler choice.
