What you can automate

What can the Formaloo Make integration do for you?

It links your Formaloo account to Make so that a submitted response, a paid form or an edited row can start a scenario, the automation you build in Make as a chain of modules. Each module is one brick: here, three triggers that listen to Formaloo and two actions that write back to it.

Turn paid orders into a clean list. Watch Form Payment starts the scenario when someone pays through a form, and Add Row files that order in a separate tracking form your finance lead reads.

Hand every new lead to the next tool. Watch Response of Form sends each submission to Make the moment it lands, ready to be passed to your CRM or your team chat by another app's module.

Follow edits after the fact. Watch Row Update reacts when a row changes, which helps when someone corrects an address or a status after the first submission.

The listed modules do not read or delete rows; if the Formaloo API allows it, Make an API Call can do it with the same connection. If you are still choosing a platform, the n8n vs Make comparison and the Make review lay out the criteria, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect Formaloo to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API keys in Formaloo

    Open your Formaloo dashboard, click Settings in the main menu, then API. Copy the API Key and the Secret Key shown there. An active Formaloo account is required, so sign up first if you have none.

  2. 02

    Add a Formaloo module and open the connection

    In your Make scenario, add any Formaloo module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Formaloo account linked to Make once; every Formaloo module reuses it afterwards.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the keys

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you run several accounts. Paste the keys you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions, then save.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Formaloo

GoalWhen a customer pays through a Formaloo form, Make adds that order as a row in your tracking form.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Go to the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module on the canvas.

  2. 02

    Place Watch Form Payment

    Search for Formaloo, pick Watch Form Payment, click Create a webhook and link your account. This trigger is instant: Formaloo calls Make through the webhook as soon as a payment goes through.

  3. 03

    Add the Add Row action

    Click the + to the right of the trigger and choose Add Row. Pick the tracking form Make lists for you, then map the buyer and payment details from the trigger into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test payment on your form. Each bubble shows the bundle it received, one bundle being one item passing between modules, so you can check the new row.

  5. 05

    Switch the scenario on

    When the test row looks right, save and turn the scenario on. From now on each paid form becomes a row without anyone copying it by hand.

Triggers

What can start a Formaloo scenario?

3 modules start a scenario when something happens in Formaloo. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Formaloo as soon as it happens.

Formaloo1Watch Form Payment

Watch Form Payment

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a form payment is submitted.”

This trigger wakes your scenario each time a payment is submitted through one of your forms, so money coming in can set off the paperwork around it without a manual check of the dashboard.

How it fires
instant. Formaloo calls Make through a webhook as soon as the payment is submitted, and the module carries a lightning badge.
When to use it
an order form, an event ticket or a paid consultation request where the payment itself is the signal that something must happen next.
Watch out
it only reacts to payments. A free submission on the same form will not start it, so use Watch Response of Form for those.
Formaloo2Watch Response of Form

Watch Response of Form

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when the row is submitted.”

Pick this one when you need every submitted response in Make: a lead, a registration, a survey answer. Each response arrives as its own bundle, ready for the modules that follow.

How it fires
instant. Formaloo calls Make through a webhook as soon as the row is submitted.
When to use it
a contact or signup form whose answers should reach your CRM, a spreadsheet or a team channel without anyone exporting them.
Watch out
every response costs at least one operation, the unit Make counts on your plan, once per module that processes it. A busy form can use your allowance faster than you expect.
Formaloo3Watch Row Update

Watch Row Update

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when the row is updated.”

Here the scenario starts when an existing row changes rather than when a new one appears. That gives you a way to follow corrections, status changes or late additions made after the first submission.

How it fires
instant. Formaloo calls Make through a webhook as soon as the row is updated.
When to use it
a request tracker where your team edits a status column, and the requester or another tool should hear about the change.
Watch out
a brand new response is not an update. If you want both new and edited rows, build one scenario with Watch Response of Form and another with this trigger.
Modules

What can Make do in Formaloo?

Formaloo gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Formaloo1

Add Row

Action

In Make“This action adds a Row to your Form”

Add Row writes a new row into a form you choose, as if someone had filled it in. You get a clean record inside Formaloo fed by another app or by a different form.

When to use it
collecting orders from your shop, event signups from a ticketing app or paid forms into one tracking form.
Watch out
Make lists your forms once the connection exists; map each value to the right field before you run the scenario.
Formaloo2

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API Call is the way out when none of the four other modules does what you need. It can call any part of the Formaloo API, reusing the connection you already created.

When to use it
you need data or an action no listed module offers, such as reading existing rows, provided the Formaloo API supports it.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself, so keep the Formaloo API documentation open to check what it offers and pick the right call.

FAQ

Formaloo and Make: common questions

01Is the Formaloo Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Formaloo is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which gives you 2 active scenarios, a 15 minute minimum between scheduled runs, 5 minutes per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits each month. Your Formaloo subscription is separate and depends on Formaloo's own pricing, so check what your Formaloo plan includes for API access before you build.
02What do you need to connect Formaloo to Make?
An active Formaloo account and two credentials from it: the API Key and the Secret Key. You find them in the Formaloo dashboard under Settings, then API. In Make, add any Formaloo module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste both keys. For one of the three instant triggers, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection in the same window. After that, all five Formaloo modules share the same connection.
03Do Formaloo triggers in Make react in real time?
Yes. All three Formaloo triggers are instant: Watch Form Payment, Watch Response of Form and Watch Row Update. Formaloo calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, instead of Make checking on a schedule. That is why these modules show a lightning badge and ask you to create a webhook. You still need to switch the scenario on for the webhook calls to be processed, and each event still counts operations on your plan.
04What if a Formaloo module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. Formaloo only has five modules in Make, and the only write action is Add Row, so anything else, such as reading rows, goes through this module when the Formaloo API supports it. It calls any part of the Formaloo API with the connection you already set up, which means no second login. The trade-off is that you build the request yourself, so you need the Formaloo API documentation at hand to check what it offers and pick the right call.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Formaloo?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Formaloo comes with three instant triggers, the Add Row action and Make an API Call for the rest, and it works on the Free plan. The same app often has a node in n8n too, so compare what each side actually offers for Formaloo before deciding, and choose the platform where your other automations already live. That keeps connections and monitoring in one place.
