What you can automate

What can the dlvr.it Make integration do for you?

The dlvr.it Make integration links your dlvr.it account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: the automation itself, a chain of modules. Each module is one brick of that chain. Here, the bricks let Make post to your dlvr.it accounts or routes, shorten links and list your routes.

Share every new article without copying links. Another app hands Make the address of a fresh blog post, Request a Short URL turns it into a compact link, and Post to an Account publishes it on the dlvr.it account you pick. Shortening requires a paid dlvr.it subscription, so check your plan first.

Send one message through a route you already set up. If your dlvr.it workspace organizes publishing into routes, Post to a Route lets a scenario reuse that setup. List Routes returns every route, which helps when you want Make to pick the right one instead of typing it by hand.

Reach anything the listed modules skip. Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the dlvr.it API with the same connection. dlvr.it has no trigger in Make, so a scenario starts from another app or from a schedule.

The same app often exists as an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out both tools. For hands-on help, see our Make training or check Make pricing before you scale.

Connect

How do you connect dlvr.it to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    Log in to dlvr.it, open Settings, then the Account subsection. Your API key sits there. Copy it and keep the tab open, you paste it in Make a moment later.

  2. 02

    Add a dlvr.it module

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

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps if you run several accounts. Paste the API key, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, and save.

First scenario

Build your first dlvr.it scenario

GoalWhen another app hands Make a new article URL, Make shortens it with dlvr.it and posts it to your account.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that knows about your new articles, since dlvr.it has no trigger of its own.

  2. 02

    Add Request a Short URL

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search for dlvr.it and choose Request a Short URL. Click Create a connection if you have not linked the account yet.

  3. 03

    Map the article address

    In the module, map the article URL coming from the first module. Mapping means picking a value from the previous step instead of typing it, so each new article gets its own short link.

  4. 04

    Post to your account

    Add Post to an Account after it, choose the dlvr.it account from the list Make loads, and map the short link from the previous module into your message.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received; a bundle is one item passed along, here one article.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go lower. Then switch the scenario on.

Modules

What each dlvr.it module does

dlvr.it gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

dlvr.it1

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

This module covers what the other four leave out: it sends an authorized request to any endpoint of the dlvr.it API, using the connection you already made.

When to use it
you need a dlvr.it feature that none of the ready-made modules exposes and you know which endpoint handles it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself here, so keep the dlvr.it API reference open while you set it up.
dlvr.it2

Post to an Account

Action

In MakePosts to the selected account.

You get a post published straight to one dlvr.it account, picked in the module, with content mapped from earlier steps of the scenario.

When to use it
a single destination is enough, for example announcing each new product page on the account your shop already uses.
Watch out
every bundle that reaches this module becomes a post, so filter upstream if some items should stay private.
dlvr.it3

Post to a Route

Action

In MakePosts to the selected route.

Instead of targeting one account, this module sends your post through a route you selected, so the publishing setup you built in dlvr.it does the rest.

When to use it
your team already manages its publishing through routes and you want Make to feed them rather than rebuild each destination.
Watch out
the route must exist in dlvr.it first; List Routes shows you which ones Make can see.
dlvr.it4

Request a Short URL

Action

In MakeCreates a shortened version of a URL.

Hand it a long address and it returns a shortened version you can drop into the next module, a post, an email or a spreadsheet row.

When to use it
right before a posting module, so every shared link stays compact without anyone shortening it by hand.
Watch out
the dlvr.it documentation reserves URL shortening for paid subscribers, so expect this module to be refused on a free account.
dlvr.it5

List Routes

Search

In MakeLists all routes.

This search gives you every route in your dlvr.it account, each one as a separate bundle that later modules can read or filter.

When to use it
a scenario has to choose a route on the fly, or you want to check which routes exist before wiring Post to a Route.
Watch out
each route that comes back runs the following modules once, which counts operations on your plan.

FAQ

dlvr.it and Make: common questions

01Is the dlvr.it Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. dlvr.it is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, a 15 minute minimum interval between scheduled runs and 5 minutes of execution per run. Paid Make plans drop the interval to 1 minute and count usage in operations each month. On the dlvr.it side, shortening links through Request a Short URL needs a paid dlvr.it subscription, so check your own plan there.
02What do you need to connect dlvr.it to Make?
An active dlvr.it account and its API key. Log in to dlvr.it, go to Settings, then Account, and copy the key shown there. In Make, add any dlvr.it module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste the key. The connection is saved once and every other dlvr.it module in your scenarios reuses it, so you do not repeat the step. If the key changes later, update the connection once and every module follows.
03Does the dlvr.it Make integration react in real time?
No, because dlvr.it has no trigger module in Make, nothing inside dlvr.it can start a scenario. You start it another way: with a trigger from another app, such as the one that stores your articles, or with a schedule on the first module. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go below that interval. The dlvr.it modules then run on each item that first step passes along, one operation per module.
04What if a dlvr.it module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the dlvr.it API with the connection you already set up, so you can cover what the four ready-made modules leave out. The official Make documentation for this app is marked as AI-generated from dlvr.it sources, so verify important details against dlvr.it itself, and contact dlvr.it directly for questions about their API. If a request fails, the Make troubleshooting guides help you read the error before you retry.
05Should you use Make or n8n for dlvr.it?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, dlvr.it comes with 5 ready modules: posting to an account or a route, shortening a URL, listing routes and a generic API call. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so the choice rarely hinges on dlvr.it itself. Pick the platform where your other scenarios already live, so connections and habits stay in one place. Both tools can reach the dlvr.it API, so neither locks you out of a feature.
