What you can automate

What can the FormCrafts Make integration do for you?

The FormCrafts Make integration links your forms to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger or an action. As soon as someone submits a form, FormCrafts tells Make, and the scenario takes the answers wherever you need them.

A lead that reaches sales right away. A consulting firm puts a quote form on its site. With Watch New Responses at the start of the scenario, each submission arrives in Make as a bundle, one item carrying the answers, and the next module can create the contact in the CRM the team already uses.

Event sign-ups in one table. An association collects registrations through FormCrafts. The trigger passes each new response to a spreadsheet module, so the attendee list stays current without copy and paste.

Reaching what the listed modules skip. The catalog is short: 2 modules in total. Make an API Call reuses your FormCrafts connection to call any endpoint of the FormCrafts API, which covers needs the trigger alone does not.

What Make does not offer here: no search module and no ready-made action to edit a form, so anything beyond new responses goes through the API call. FormCrafts may also have an n8n node; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out both tools. To go further with the editor, see the Make training, or check Make pricing before you pick a plan.

Connect

How do you connect FormCrafts to Make?

  1. 01

    Create an API key in FormCrafts

    In your FormCrafts account, open Organization, then Settings and API Keys. Click the button that creates a new key and copy the key shown on screen. You need an active FormCrafts account for this step.

  2. 02

    Add the module and open the connection

    In your Make scenario, add a FormCrafts module. For Watch New Responses, which carries the instant tag, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection. A connection is your FormCrafts account linked to Make once, reused by every module.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you manage several accounts. Paste the API key you copied from FormCrafts, or follow the on-screen instructions, and save. Your connection is now ready for both FormCrafts modules.

First scenario

Build your first FormCrafts scenario

GoalWhen someone submits a FormCrafts form, Make receives the response instantly and uses its answers in a call to the FormCrafts API.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Go to the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the editor to place the first module.

  2. 02

    Add Watch New Responses

    Search for FormCrafts, pick Watch New Responses, click Create a webhook, then link your account with the connection you set up earlier.

  3. 03

    Add Make an API Call

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and pick Make an API Call. It reuses the same connection. Choose the endpoint from the FormCrafts API documentation and map answers from the response bundle into the request.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test entry on your form. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundle it received and check that the answers landed in the right place.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    Turn the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, Make reacts to each new submission instead of waiting for the next check on the 15 minute default schedule.

Triggers

What starts a FormCrafts scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in FormCrafts. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by FormCrafts as soon as it happens.

FormCrafts1Watch New Responses

Watch New Responses

Instant trigger

In Make“Watches for new responses on form.”

Watch New Responses hands your scenario every new response from a FormCrafts form the moment the visitor clicks send. Each response becomes one bundle for the next module.

How it fires
instant, FormCrafts calls Make through a webhook as soon as the response comes in, so there is no polling interval to set.
When to use it
any time a submission should trigger follow-up without delay, like a demo request that sales must see while the prospect is still interested.
Watch out
click Create a webhook before Create a connection, the order the Make documentation gives for an instant module.
Modules

What else FormCrafts can do in Make

FormCrafts gives you 1 module. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

FormCrafts1

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API Call gives you access to the rest of FormCrafts: it sends an authorized request to any endpoint of the FormCrafts API, using the same connection as the trigger.

When to use it
when your need goes beyond receiving new responses, since the catalog holds no other ready-made action.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the FormCrafts API documentation open and test each call with Run once.

FAQ

FormCrafts and Make: common questions

01Is the FormCrafts Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. FormCrafts is a standard app, so it works from the Free plan onward. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs of up to 5 minutes, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer, with scheduled runs no closer than 15 minutes apart. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan. You still need an active FormCrafts account of your own.
02What is needed to connect FormCrafts to Make?
You need an active FormCrafts account and an API key. Create the key in FormCrafts under Organization, then Settings, then API Keys, and copy it. In Make, add a FormCrafts module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste the key. For the Watch New Responses trigger, click Create a webhook before Create a connection. The connection is then shared by both FormCrafts modules, so you only paste the key once.
03Does the FormCrafts trigger react in real time?
Yes. Watch New Responses is an instant trigger: FormCrafts calls Make through a webhook as soon as a response is submitted, and the scenario runs right away. It does not wait for the 15 minute default schedule that applies to scheduled triggers, and the Free plan interval limit does not slow it down either. Keep the scenario switched on, because a scenario that is off does not receive the webhook calls sent by FormCrafts.
04What if a FormCrafts module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends an authorized request to any endpoint of the FormCrafts API through the connection you already have, so anything the trigger does not cover can still be reached. You build the request from the FormCrafts API documentation and check the result with Run once. The Make documentation for this app also warns that its content is AI-generated from the FormCrafts docs and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with FormCrafts directly.
05Make or n8n for FormCrafts: which one fits?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. In Make, FormCrafts offers 2 modules: an instant trigger for new responses and an API call for everything else. FormCrafts may also have an n8n node, so if your other automations already live in n8n, check that node first. If you are starting from scratch and want a visual editor with a guided connection, the Make integration covers the core need: getting each response out of the form the moment it arrives.
