What you can automate

What can the Formsite Make integration do for you?

The Formsite Make integration links your Formsite account to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a brick that watches, reads or acts. Formsite brings 6 modules, so a submitted form can feed the rest of your tools without a line of code.

Answers that reach the right person. Watch New Form Result starts the scenario the moment someone submits a form, and the next module can pass the answers to your CRM, your inbox or a chat channel. Nobody has to open Formsite to check for new entries.

A clean inventory of your forms. List Forms returns every form of the account, and Get a Form reads one of them in detail. Useful when a team manages many forms and wants a shared overview kept up to date by a scenario.

Past answers pulled back on demand. List Form Results fetches the results already stored for a form, and List Form Items tells you which questions hold answers. That pair helps you rebuild a report or move old entries to another tool.

Make does not cover every Formsite feature with a dedicated module. For the rest, Make an API Call reaches the Formsite API with the same connection. The Make documentation for Formsite also warns that its text is AI-generated, so check important details with Formsite. Before choosing a plan, read Make pricing; if you hesitate between tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make training helps you go further.

Connect

How do you connect Formsite to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API details in Formsite

    Open the Settings of a form, click Integrations, then Formsite API. Copy the API token shown on the page, plus the server name and the user directory that appear inside the API base URL.

  2. 02

    Add a Formsite module in Make

    In your scenario, add any Formsite module and click Create a connection. For the instant trigger, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection. You can give it a label in Connection name.

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Enter the token, the server name and the user directory you copied, then follow the on-screen instructions. The connection is your Formsite account linked to Make once, and every Formsite module reuses it.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Formsite

GoalWhen someone submits a form in Formsite, Make receives the result and reads the details of that form so the answer arrives with its context.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open 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 Form Result

    Search for Formsite, pick Watch New Form Result, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection or select the one you already made.

  3. 03

    Add Get a Form

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and choose Get a Form. Map the form from the result received, so the next step knows which form the answer came from.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test entry in your form. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received: a bundle is one item passed along, here one result.

  5. 05

    Switch the scenario on

    When the test looks right, switch the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, Formsite calls Make on each new result instead of waiting for the next check on a schedule.

Triggers

What starts a Formsite scenario

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

Formsite1Watch New Form Result

Watch New Form Result

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a user submits a new form result.”

Every time a visitor submits one of your forms, this trigger hands the new result to your scenario, ready to be sent, stored or checked by the modules that follow.

How it fires
instant: Formsite calls Make through a webhook as soon as the result is submitted, so the scenario does not wait for a schedule and you do not spend a check when nothing arrives.
When to use it
a quote request, a registration or a support form whose answers someone must see without opening Formsite.
Watch out
the Make documentation asks you to click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection. Keep that order when you set it up.
Modules

What Formsite can do in Make

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

Formsite1

Get a Form

Action

In Make“Retrieves the specified form.”

You get the details of one form you name, which adds context to a result or a report: which form it is.

When to use it
right after the trigger, when the answer needs the name of the form it came from before it reaches a teammate.
Watch out
it reads a single form; to go through all of them, start with List Forms.
Formsite2

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

This module opens the rest of the Formsite API to your scenario, with the connection you already set up, so a need the listed modules miss is still within reach.

When to use it
when the Formsite API offers something none of the five other modules covers.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Formsite API documentation open and test with Run once.
Formsite3

List Form Items

Search

In Make“Lists all items for the specified form. Items that don't store results, such as headings and images, are not included.”

Here you see the questions of a form that actually store answers, which makes mapping results much easier because you know what each field holds.

When to use it
before building a report or a table, to match every question with its column.
Watch out
headings, images and other items that store no result are left out, so the list may be shorter than the form on screen.
Formsite4

List Form Results

Search

In Make“Lists all results for the specified form.”

Pull back the results already stored for a form, as one bundle each, so older answers can be moved, counted or checked outside Formsite.

When to use it
when you connect Formsite to a new tool and want the history too, not only what arrives next.
Watch out
as a search, it can return zero, one or many bundles, and every module after it runs once per result, which counts operations.
Formsite5

List Forms

Search

In Make“Lists all forms.”

With this search, the scenario gets every form of your Formsite account, one bundle per form, which gives you a starting point to act on each of them.

When to use it
to keep a shared inventory of forms, or to loop over all forms before listing their results.
Watch out
an account with many forms produces many bundles; add a filter before costly modules.

FAQ

Formsite and Make: common questions

01Is the Formsite Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Formsite is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations: one operation is one module handling one bundle. The Formsite side is separate, since Make requires a Professional level Formsite account.
02What do you need to connect Formsite to Make?
You need a Professional level Formsite account and three details from it: the API token, the server name and the user directory. All three are on the Formsite API page, reached from the Settings of a form, then Integrations. The server name and user directory sit inside the API base URL shown there. In Make, click Create a connection on any Formsite module and paste them. For the instant trigger, click Create a webhook first.
03Does the Formsite trigger in Make fire in real time?
Yes. Watch New Form Result is an instant trigger: Formsite calls Make through a webhook as soon as a form result is submitted. The scenario does not wait for the schedule that applies to scheduled triggers, 15 minutes by default on a new scenario. After testing it with Run once, remember to switch the scenario on. On the module, the lightning badge marks an instant trigger, where scheduled triggers show a clock. Each result then flows through the next modules as one bundle.
04What if a Formsite module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Formsite API with the connection you already created, so you do not need a second setup. You write the request yourself from the Formsite API documentation. Also note that the Make documentation for Formsite is AI-generated and warns it may contain mistakes, so confirm important details directly with Formsite before relying on them. If a limit blocks you, the Make troubleshooting guide is a good next read.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Formsite?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. In Make, Formsite brings 6 modules, including an instant trigger for new results and Make an API Call for the rest of the API, and it works on the Free plan. If n8n offers a Formsite node, compare the two on what your scenario needs: the modules available, how you connect, and where your other automations already live. Neither choice is wrong in general; the fit with your stack decides.
