Deepgram Make integrationAutomate Deepgram with Make.
What if every recording your team collects came back as text, without anyone pressing play? The Deepgram Make integration gives you 3 action modules to transcribe audio from a URL and summarize it. This page shows how to connect your API key and build a first scenario.

What can the Deepgram Make integration do for you?
The Deepgram Make integration lets a Make scenario (the automation you build, a chain of steps) send audio to Deepgram and get text back. You pick a module, which is one brick of that chain, point it at a recording, and Make passes the transcript or the summary to whatever tool comes next.
Call recordings that document themselves. A sales team stores call audio somewhere with a public link. Another app hands that link to Make, Transcribe a Prerecorded Audio File from URL turns it into text, and the text lands in the CRM next to the deal.
Podcast show notes from the raw episode. A content team publishes an episode, Summarize an Audio File condenses it, and the summary becomes the starting draft for the episode page. Nobody has to listen twice.
Anything the two modules skip. Deepgram's API does more than these two jobs. Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of that API with the connection you already set up.
Deepgram has no trigger in Make: nothing on the Deepgram side starts a scenario. The recording has to come from another app, a schedule, or a webhook. If you are still weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out both, and the Make review covers the editor itself. For a hands-on start, see Make training.
How do you connect Deepgram to Make?
- 01
Create an API key in Deepgram
In Deepgram, open the Projects dropdown at the top left and choose your project. Go to Settings, then the API Keys view, click Create a New API Key, fill in the settings and confirm with Create Key.
- 02
Copy the key right away
Deepgram shows the new key in a modal window. Copy it before closing that window and keep it somewhere safe, because Make will ask for it in the next step. You need an active Deepgram account for any of this to work.
- 03
Paste it into Make
In your scenario, add any Deepgram module and click Create a connection. Give it a Connection name if you like, paste the key, and save. That connection is your Deepgram account linked to Make, and every Deepgram module reuses it.
Your first scenario with Deepgram
GoalWhen another app hands Make a link to an audio file, Deepgram transcribes it and then summarizes it.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that holds your recordings as the first module, since Deepgram has no trigger of its own.
- 02
Add the transcription module
Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Deepgram and choose Transcribe a Prerecorded Audio File from URL. Select your connection, or click Create a connection if this is your first Deepgram module.
- 03
Map the audio link
In the module fields, map the audio URL coming from the first module. Each bundle, meaning one item passed along the chain, carries one recording, so each one gets its own transcript.
- 04
Add the summary
Click the + again and add Summarize an Audio File. Point it at the same recording, checking in its fields what it asks for, and you get a short version next to the full transcript.
- 05
Test with Run once
Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time, and you can open each module to read the bundles it received and check the transcript before going further.
- 06
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From then on, new recordings get processed without you.
What each Deepgram module does
Deepgram gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
This module sends a request of your choice to Deepgram's API, signed with your existing connection, so you reach features the two ready-made modules leave out.
Summarize an Audio File
ActionIn Make“Summarizes the content of an audio file with Deepgram's API.”
You get a condensed version of what was said in a recording, handy when people need the gist of a meeting or an episode rather than every word.
Transcribe a Prerecorded Audio File from URL
ActionIn Make“Transcribes URL audio files with Deepgram's prerecorded API.”
Give this module a link to an existing recording and it returns the spoken words as text, ready to store, search or pass to the next module.
