What you can automate

What can the DumplingAI Make integration do for you?

The DumplingAI Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make, call DumplingAI to read web pages, convert documents, pull transcripts, search Google and generate images. Each module is one brick of that scenario, and your DumplingAI account is linked once through an API key.

Lead research without copy and paste. A form hands you a company website, Scrape URL fetches the page text, and Generate AI Agent Completion turns it into a short profile your sales team reads before the call.

Paperwork that sorts itself. Extract data from PDF with AI reads supplier invoices and returns structured data, Merge PDFs bundles the documents of one order, and Write PDF Metadata labels the final file before it is archived.

Content from videos you already have. Get YouTube Transcript turns a webinar into text, Add To Knowledge Base (RAG) stores it, and Search Knowledge Base (RAG) finds the right passage when a customer question comes in.

What Make does not give you here is a trigger: DumplingAI has no module that starts a scenario, so another app or the scenario schedule starts it. DumplingAI also bills its own credits per module, on top of the operations Make counts. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, Make pricing explains how operations are counted, and the Make training covers scenario building from the start.

Connect

How do you connect DumplingAI to Make?

  1. 01

    Create an API key in DumplingAI

    In your DumplingAI dashboard, open the API Keys section and click Create API Key. Give it a descriptive name, then copy the key displayed on screen. You need an active DumplingAI account for this.

  2. 02

    Add a DumplingAI module in Make

    In your scenario, search for DumplingAI, pick any module and click Create a connection. The Connection name field is optional; a clear name helps when you have several accounts.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key you copied and confirm. The connection, your DumplingAI account linked to Make, is now reused by all 39 modules, so you never enter the key a second time.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with DumplingAI

GoalWhen another app hands Make a company website, DumplingAI scrapes the page and an AI agent writes a short profile from it.

  1. 01

    Start from another app

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that holds your website addresses, such as a form or a spreadsheet, since DumplingAI has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Scrape URL

    Click the + on the right, search DumplingAI and choose Scrape URL. Create the connection with your API key, then map the website address from the first module into the URL.

  3. 03

    Ask the agent for a profile

    Add Generate AI Agent Completion after Scrape URL and map the scraped content into it, so the agent works from the page it just received.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Each module shows the bundles it received: the page content after Scrape URL, the agent's answer after the last step. Fix the mapping if a value is empty.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    On the first module, set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. On the Free plan, 15 minutes is also the shortest interval.

Modules

What each DumplingAI module does

DumplingAI gives you 39 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

DumplingAI1

Convert a Document to Text

Action

In Make“Converts DOCX or PDF files to text (2 Credits)”

You get the plain text of a Word or PDF file in one step, ready for any later module to store, search or pass to an AI prompt. DumplingAI charges 2 credits per conversion.

When to use it
attachments reach you in both formats and you want one path in the scenario instead of two branches.
Watch out
when every file is a PDF, the dedicated PDF converter makes the scenario easier to read for whoever edits it next.
DumplingAI2

Convert DOCX to Text

Action

In Make“Converts DOCX files to text (2 Credits)”

Turns a Word file into text you can map straight into the next module, for the same 2 credits as the mixed converter. What comes out is the wording, without the Word wrapper.

When to use it
a team drafts proposals in Word and you want their content stored in a database or reviewed by an AI agent.
Watch out
this one is for DOCX only; send PDFs to Convert PDF to Text or to the mixed converter.
DumplingAI3

Convert PDF to Text

Action

In Make“Converts PDF files to text (2 Credits)”

Reads a PDF and hands you its text, so a report or a contract becomes content Make can pass to any other app. Each file costs 2 credits.

When to use it
signed agreements arrive as PDF attachments and you want their text archived next to the email that brought them.
Watch out
if you need specific values such as a total or a date rather than the full text, Extract data from PDF with AI returns structured data, at a higher credit cost.
DumplingAI4

Convert to PDF

Action

In Make“Convert various document formats to PDF (5 Credits)”

Produces a PDF from other document formats, so everything you store or send ends up in a single format. The conversion costs 5 credits.

When to use it
a finished Word proposal should be filed as PDF before it goes to the client folder or into Merge PDFs.
Watch out
the accepted source formats are not spelled out in the module list, so test your own file type with Run once before the scenario goes live.
DumplingAI5

Crawl Website

Action

In Make“Crawls a website (1 Credit per page)”

Walks through a website page after page and returns what it finds, which gives you a whole site's content rather than a single address. DumplingAI bills 1 credit per page crawled.

When to use it
you want a client's help center loaded into a knowledge base with Add To Knowledge Base (RAG).
Watch out
the bill grows with the size of the site, so run your first test on a small one.
DumplingAI6

Extract Data from Audio File(s)

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more audio files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Listens to one or more audio files and gives you structured data built by a multimodal AI model, instead of a recording someone has to replay. Plan on 10 credits or more per run.

When to use it
recorded sales calls should end up in your CRM as the client name and the agreed next step.
Watch out
the credit figure is a floor, not a fixed price; look at your DumplingAI balance after a first Run once.
DumplingAI7

Extract Data from Document(s)

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Pulls structured data out of one or more files in one call, whatever kind of document they are. It is the generic member of the AI extraction family, from 10 credits.

When to use it
a client folder mixes PDFs and Word files and you want the key facts of each one returned in the same shape.
Watch out
when all your files share one format, the DOCX or PDF extraction module makes the intent clearer to the next person who opens the scenario.
DumplingAI8

Extract data from DOCX with AI

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more DOCX files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Reads Word files with AI and returns structured data, so a clause, a name or an amount can move on to another app as a separate value. It starts at 10 credits.

When to use it
HR receives applications in Word and wants each candidate's details stored apart rather than as one block of text.
Watch out
if the full text is all you need, Convert DOCX to Text does that job for 2 credits.
DumplingAI9

Extract Data from Image(s)

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more images with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Looks at one or more images and returns structured data about what they show, so a photo becomes values a scenario can use. Budget 10 credits or more.

When to use it
field technicians photograph receipts or delivery slips and the figures should reach a spreadsheet without retyping.
Watch out
the Make Free plan handles files up to 5 MB, so large photos straight from a phone deserve a check before the first run.
DumplingAI10

Extract data from PDF with AI

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more PDF files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Gets structured data out of one or more PDFs with multimodal AI, turning a document into values you can post elsewhere. From 10 credits per run.

When to use it
a finance team wants each supplier invoice split into amount, due date and vendor before anyone books it.
Watch out
treat the output as a draft for amounts that matter and keep a human review step before they reach accounting.
DumplingAI11

Extract data from URL with AI

Action

In Make“Scrapes and extracts structured data from a webpage with multimodal AI (25 Credits)”

Opens a web page, scrapes it and returns structured data picked out by AI, all inside one module. At 25 credits it is the most expensive extraction on the list.

When to use it
you follow product pages of several shops and want name and price as clean values each time.
Watch out
Scrape URL at 1 credit is enough when you only need the page content and plan to process it in a later step.
DumplingAI12

Extract Data from Video(s)

Action

In Make“Extract structured data from one or more video files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)”

Analyzes one or more video files and returns structured data about their content, useful when a clip holds information nobody wants to watch again. From 10 credits.

When to use it
a training team uploads recorded demos and wants the topics each one covers logged in a table.
Watch out
video files get heavy; on the Free plan Make handles files up to 5 MB, so check the size before the first test.
DumplingAI13

Generate AI Agent Completion

Action

In Make“Runs AI Agent completion and returns the result (1+ credits)”

Sends a request to an AI agent in DumplingAI and brings its answer back as data for the next module. The cost starts at 1 credit.

When to use it
after Scrape URL or a transcript module, when you want a summary, a classification or a draft reply written from that text.
Watch out
every bundle that reaches this module is one Make operation plus DumplingAI credits, so filter out the items you do not need before it.
DumplingAI14

Generate AI Image with FLUX.1 Dev

Action

In Make“Runs AI text to image generation based on your prompt and returns the generated images (15 credits per image)”

Creates images from a text prompt with the FLUX.1 Dev model and returns them to the scenario, ready to store or publish. Each image costs 15 credits.

When to use it
you want the middle option on price among the FLUX text-to-image modules, between Schnell at 3 and Pro at 30 credits.
Watch out
billing is per image, so asking for several images in one run multiplies the cost.
DumplingAI15

Generate AI Image with FLUX.1-kontext-pro

Action

In Make“Edit and transform existing images using text prompts with FLUX.1-kontext-pro model (20 credits per image)”

Edits an image you already have from a text instruction, rather than drawing one from nothing. The FLUX.1-kontext-pro model bills 20 credits per image.

When to use it
a product photo needs a new background or a seasonal touch before it goes into a newsletter.
Watch out
this module transforms an existing picture; for a brand new visual, pick one of the text-to-image modules instead.
DumplingAI16

Generate AI Image with FLUX.1 Pro

Action

In Make“Runs AI text to image generation based on your prompt and returns the generated images (30 credits per image)”

Generates images from your prompt with FLUX.1 Pro, the priciest FLUX option at 30 credits per image.

When to use it
the image will be published as is, for example the cover of a blog post the scenario prepares.
Watch out
refine your prompt with the Schnell module first, then switch to Pro once the wording works, so each attempt does not cost 30 credits.
DumplingAI17

Generate AI Image with FLUX.1 Schnell

Action

In Make“Runs AI text to image generation based on your prompt and returns the generated images (3 credits per image)”

Returns images from a text prompt at 3 credits each, the cheapest way to get pictures out of DumplingAI with a FLUX model.

When to use it
drafts, internal mockups, or testing a prompt before moving it to a costlier model.
Watch out
in a scenario that handles many bundles, even a cheap image adds up, since each bundle triggers one generation.
DumplingAI18

Generate AI Image with Recraft V3

Action

In Make“Runs AI text to image generation based on your prompt and returns the generated images (20 credits per image)”

Gives you images generated by Recraft V3 from a prompt, a model outside the FLUX family for the same kind of job. It costs 20 credits per image.

When to use it
you want to compare a second model's style against FLUX on one prompt before settling on either.
Watch out
keep the prompt identical during the comparison, otherwise you cannot tell whether the model or the wording made the difference.
DumplingAI19

Generate Image (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Runs AI text to image generation based on your prompt and returns the generated images (3+ credits per image)”

Returns images from a prompt, from 3 credits per image, through the older generator that the module name now marks as Deprecated.

When to use it
only to keep an existing scenario running while you plan its replacement.
Watch out
for any new scenario, choose one of the FLUX.1 or Recraft V3 modules, because a deprecated module is a poor base to build on.
DumplingAI20

Get TikTok Profile

Action

In Make“Retrieves public profile information for a TikTok user (2 Credits)”

Fetches the public profile information of a TikTok account, so a creator's details land in your scenario without anyone copying them by hand. 2 credits per profile.

When to use it
an influencer marketing team qualifies the creators listed in a sheet before reaching out.
Watch out
a long list costs on both sides, one Make operation and 2 DumplingAI credits per profile.
DumplingAI21

Get TikTok Transcript

Action

In Make“Downloads transcript of a TikTok video (2 Credits)”

Downloads the transcript of a TikTok video, which turns spoken content into text you can search, summarize or quote. It costs 2 credits.

When to use it
a brand monitors videos that mention its products and wants the words, not just the link.
Watch out
the transcript on its own is raw text; add Generate AI Agent Completion after it when the goal is a summary.
DumplingAI22

Get YouTube Transcript

Action

In Make“Downloads transcript of YouTube video (2 Credits)”

Brings back the transcript of a YouTube video, so a talk or a tutorial becomes text in one step, for 2 credits.

When to use it
a content team repurposes webinars into articles or newsletter snippets.
Watch out
if you plan to query those transcripts later, store them with Add To Knowledge Base (RAG) rather than leaving them in a spreadsheet cell.
DumplingAI23

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an authorized API call.”

Lets you reach any endpoint of the DumplingAI API from the scenario, reusing the connection you already created. It covers whatever the listed modules leave out.

When to use it
DumplingAI offers something in its API that no module on this page exposes.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the DumplingAI API reference open next to the editor while you set it up.
DumplingAI24

Merge PDFs

Action

In Make“Merge PDF files (5 Credits)”

Combines several PDF files into one, which gives the recipient a single document instead of a pile of attachments. Each merge costs 5 credits.

When to use it
a quote, the terms and a signed form must go out as one file.
Watch out
PDFs that arrive as separate bundles have to be grouped first with an aggregator, since it takes the files in one go (a deduction from its role: it merges several PDFs).
DumplingAI25

Read PDF Metadata

Action

In Make“Read PDF metadata (1 Credit)”

Reads the metadata stored inside a PDF, so the scenario can sort or check a file without converting its content. 1 credit per file.

When to use it
before archiving, to decide which folder a document belongs in or whether it was already processed.
Watch out
a PDF with empty metadata gives the next module nothing to route on, so plan a fallback path for it.
DumplingAI26

Run Javascript Code

Action

In Make“Run your javascript or typescript code and get the result back (5 Credits).”

Runs a piece of JavaScript or TypeScript on DumplingAI and returns the result to the scenario, for 5 credits.

When to use it
a calculation, a date reformat or a text cleanup that none of the other modules covers.
Watch out
test the code with Run once on a real bundle rather than a made up value, because live data rarely looks like the sample you had in mind.
DumplingAI27

Run Python Code

Action

In Make“Run your python code and get the result back (5 Credits).”

Gives Python users the same escape hatch as the JavaScript module: your code runs, and the result comes back into the scenario for 5 credits.

When to use it
your team already has a Python snippet for parsing or scoring data and wants to reuse it without rewriting it.
Watch out
keep the snippet short and focused on one task, so a failed run points you straight at the problem.
DumplingAI28

Scrape URL

Action

In Make“Scrapes clean data from any web page (1 Credit)”

Gets you the clean content of any web page for 1 credit, the cheapest way to bring a page's text into Make.

When to use it
a lead form gives you a company website and you want its homepage text before qualifying the lead.
Watch out
it reads one address per run; for a whole site, Crawl Website is the right module.
DumplingAI29

Screenshot URL

Action

In Make“Takes a screenshot of any webpage (2+ Credits)”

Captures an image of any web page, which gives you a record of how the page looked when the scenario ran. From 2 credits.

When to use it
an agency keeps a copy of a client's landing page before and after each change.
Watch out
the screenshot is a file, so add a module after it that stores it in a drive or attaches it to a message.
DumplingAI30

Trim Video

Action

In Make“Trims the length of any video (20 credits per minute of output)”

Shortens a video to the part you keep and returns a clip ready to post or archive. Billing is 20 credits per minute of output.

When to use it
a webinar recording should become a short teaser for social media.
Watch out
the cost follows the length of the clip you produce, not the source, so a short cut from a long recording stays cheap.
DumplingAI31

Write PDF Metadata

Action

In Make“Write PDF metadata (5 Credits)”

Writes metadata into a PDF, so the file carries its own labels wherever it goes next. 5 credits per file.

When to use it
right after Convert to PDF or Merge PDFs, to label the documents the scenario produced.
Watch out
check the result with Read PDF Metadata during your first Run once, since a typo here travels with the file.
DumplingAI32

Add To Knowledge Base (RAG)

Search

In Make“Adds content to a knowledge base (1 credit)”

Stores content in a DumplingAI knowledge base, so an AI can look it up later with Search Knowledge Base (RAG). RAG means the AI answers from documents you supplied. 1 credit.

When to use it
every new help article or internal procedure should become searchable for an assistant.
Watch out
Make files it under searches, yet it writes content; place it where new material arrives, not where you read.
DumplingAI33

Get Google Autocomplete

Search

In Make“Retrieves Google Autocomplete suggestions for search queries (3 credits)”

Returns the suggestions Google Autocomplete shows for a query, a quick view of what people type around a topic. 3 credits.

When to use it
an SEO team wants question ideas around a keyword pushed into a sheet.
Watch out
like any search module it can return several bundles, so the modules after it run once per suggestion unless you group them.
DumplingAI34

Get Google Reviews

Search

In Make“Gets Google Reviews for a specified business (5 credits)”

Brings the Google Reviews of a business into your scenario, so feedback can be read, tagged or answered outside Google. 5 credits.

When to use it
a franchise network wants the reviews of every location gathered in one place.
Watch out
reviews may come back as separate bundles; filter them before any AI step so you do not pay credits on each one.
DumplingAI36

Search Google Maps

Search

In Make“Runs a Google Maps search and returns the results (10 credits)”

Returns Google Maps results for a query, handy for building a list of local businesses. At 10 credits, it is the costliest Google search here.

When to use it
a sales team prospects dental clinics in one city.
Watch out
each place comes back as its own bundle, so every module after it runs once per result.
DumplingAI37

Search Google News

Search

In Make“Runs a Google News search and returns the results (3 credits)”

Gives you Google News results for a query, so press coverage of a brand or a subject reaches your scenario. 3 credits.

When to use it
a PR team watches mentions of a client and sends new articles to a chat channel.
Watch out
the same article may come back on two runs; keep a record of what you already sent to avoid posting it twice.
DumplingAI38

Search Google Places

Search

In Make“Runs a Google Places search and returns the results (3 credits)”

Queries Google Places and returns the matching places for 3 credits, a cheaper call than Search Google Maps at 10.

When to use it
you want place results to enrich a list of addresses or venues.
Watch out
run the same query through both Google Places and Google Maps with Run once to see which result set fits your case before choosing.
DumplingAI39

Search Knowledge Base (RAG)

Search

In Make“Searches a knowledge base and returns the relevant results (1 credit)”

Searches a DumplingAI knowledge base and returns the relevant passages, so an AI step can answer from your own content. 1 credit.

When to use it
a support scenario looks up the right procedure before Generate AI Agent Completion drafts the reply.
Watch out
it only finds what Add To Knowledge Base (RAG) stored earlier, so fill the base before you rely on it.

FAQ

DumplingAI and Make: common questions

01Is the DumplingAI Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side: DumplingAI is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a scheduled run every 15 minutes at the shortest, 5 minutes of execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans go down to a 1 minute interval and 40 minutes of execution. DumplingAI is a separate service with its own account and subscription, and each module uses DumplingAI credits in addition to the operations Make counts, so check both before running a scenario at volume.
02What do you need to connect DumplingAI to Make?
An active DumplingAI account and an API key. In the DumplingAI dashboard, open API Keys, click Create API Key, give the key a descriptive name and copy it. In Make, add any DumplingAI module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key. The connection is then shared by every DumplingAI module in your scenarios, so you set it up only once. The DumplingAI subscription itself is chosen on the DumplingAI pricing page, separately from your Make plan.
03Can a DumplingAI scenario start in real time?
Not from DumplingAI itself, because the app has no trigger module. A scenario that uses it has two ways to start: another app's trigger, such as a new form entry or a new row, or the schedule on the first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default and every 1 minute at best on paid plans. If that other app offers an instant trigger, meaning it calls Make through a webhook as soon as something happens, the DumplingAI steps run right after it.
04What if a DumplingAI module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends an authorized request to any endpoint of the DumplingAI API with the connection you already have, which covers features the 39 listed modules do not expose. You write the request yourself, so it suits people comfortable reading API documentation. Also note that the Make documentation page for DumplingAI states it was generated with AI from DumplingAI's own documentation and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with DumplingAI directly.
05Should you use Make or n8n for DumplingAI?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. On Make, DumplingAI comes with 39 ready modules, 31 actions and 8 searches, plus Make an API Call for anything else, and it runs from the Free plan. Apps like this one often have an n8n node too, so check the n8n side for the modules you need before deciding. Compare the two on the modules available for your use case and on how each tool counts usage, rather than on general reputation.
