FAPI Member Make integrationAutomate FAPI Member with Make.

Can Make keep your FAPI Member site in step with the rest of your tools? The FAPI Member Make integration gives you 3 action modules and no trigger. This page shows how to link your account with an API key and build a first scenario that pushes members in.

What you can automate

What does the FAPI Member Make integration do?

It links your FAPI Member plugin to Make, so a scenario (the automation you build in Make, a chain of modules) can write to your member base without code. A module is one brick of that chain. FAPI Member brings 3 of them, all actions, so the scenario starts from another app or from a schedule.

New buyers become members. When a form tool, a shop or a spreadsheet produces a new customer, the Přidat nebo Upravit Člena module (its Czech name reads as "add or update member") can place that person in FAPI Member. You map the data once and Make repeats it for every bundle, meaning every item passing from one module to the next.

A clear view of your sections. Seznam Členských Sekcí, going by its Czech name, lists the membership sections of your site. If the member module asks for a section, put it first so the value comes from your site rather than your memory.

Everything else through one open door. Univerzální REST Dotaz, a universal REST request, covers what the two other modules leave out. It asks more of you, since the documentation gives no field list for it.

Know the limits before you start. There is no trigger, so FAPI Member cannot tell Make that something changed on its side, and the official help page warns that its text is AI-generated and may contain mistakes. Our Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails. If you also look at n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out how the two tools differ, and the Make training takes you further on scenario design.

Connect

How do you connect FAPI Member to Make?

  1. 01

    Get your API key in FAPI

    In your FAPI Member account, open Můj účet, then API klíče, and click Nový API klíč. Give the key a label, create it, then click Zobrazit to reveal it and copy it. You need an active FAPI account and the FAPI Member plugin installed and connected.

  2. 02

    Add a FAPI Member module

    In a Make scenario, add any FAPI Member module and click Create a connection. A connection is your FAPI Member account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. The Connection name field is optional but handy if you run several sites.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Enter the credentials you copied from FAPI Member, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, and save. From then on, the three modules pick this connection from a list, so you never paste the key again in the same account.

First scenario

Your first scenario: send new customers into FAPI Member

GoalWhen another app records a new customer, Make adds or updates that person as a member in FAPI Member.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first module is the app where your customers appear, such as your form or your shop.

  2. 02

    Set up the source app

    Pick that app's module and create its connection. Make lists what it can read once the account is linked, so choose the form, sheet or object that holds new customers.

  3. 03

    Add Přidat nebo Upravit Člena

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search FAPI Member and pick Přidat nebo Upravit Člena. Select your connection, then map the customer data from the previous module into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles it received, then check in FAPI Member that the member really appears.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the clock on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on one bundle is an operation, which is what Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What the FAPI Member modules do

FAPI Member gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

FAPI Member1

Přidat nebo Upravit Člena

ActionIn the docs only

You get one module that writes people into your member base: its Czech name translates as "add or update member", so a single step can cover both a newcomer and someone already registered. The documentation gives no official description, so read the fields Make shows once your connection exists.

When to use it
right after the module that captures a buyer or a sign-up in another tool, as the landing point of the data.
Watch out
run it once on a test address before mapping real customers.
FAPI Member2

Seznam Členských Sekcí

ActionIn the docs only

This one gives you the list of membership sections on your FAPI Member site, which is what the name means in Czech. It is filed as an action, and the documentation says nothing more about what it returns, so a Run once is the fastest way to see its output.

When to use it
before adding a member, if the member module asks for a section and you want it taken from your site.
Watch out
check how many bundles it sends before chaining other modules after it.
FAPI Member3

Univerzální REST Dotaz

ActionIn the docs only

With this module you reach what the two others do not cover: the name means "universal REST request", a way to send your own call to FAPI Member through the same connection. It is the most technical of the three and comes without an official description.

When to use it
only once you have confirmed that neither the member module nor the section list does the job.
Watch out
you need to know the request to send, since this page cannot give its fields or formats.

FAQ

FAPI Member and Make: common questions

01Is the FAPI Member Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. FAPI Member is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum interval of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, lift the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits each month. You still need an active FAPI account with the FAPI Member plugin, whose own pricing is set by FAPI Member and not covered here.
02What do you need to connect FAPI Member to Make?
An active FAPI account, the FAPI Member plugin installed and connected on your site, and an API key. You create the key in your FAPI account under Můj účet, then API klíče, with the Nový API klíč button, give it a label and reveal it with Zobrazit before copying it. In Make, add a FAPI Member module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key. The same connection then serves all three modules, so you set it up only once per account.
03Can FAPI Member start a Make scenario on its own?
No. The app has no trigger module, so nothing in FAPI Member can launch a scenario. You start the flow elsewhere: with a trigger from another app, such as a form or a shop, 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, while paid plans go down to 1 minute. Whatever the start, the FAPI Member modules then act on each bundle they receive, one operation per module and per bundle.
04What if a FAPI Member module is missing in Make?
Look at Univerzální REST Dotaz first. It is a universal REST request module, meant for calls the two other modules do not cover, and it uses your existing connection. The app has no Make an API Call module, so do not count on that one. Keep in mind that the official documentation states its text is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, and advises contacting FAPI Member for vendor questions. If the request is hard to build, another app can sometimes fill the gap, or the team can help you design the scenario.
05Should you use Make or n8n with FAPI Member?
It depends on the tool you already run, since both are workflow builders and the same app often has an n8n node too. On Make, FAPI Member offers 3 action modules, one connection through an API key, and a free start with 2 active scenarios. Check that the module you need exists on the side you choose, and compare how each tool starts a flow, since FAPI Member has no trigger in Make. The n8n vs Make comparison on this site sets out the criteria side by side, without ranking either tool.
