Formspree Make integrationAutomate Formspree with Make.

Your form entries sit in Formspree, and your team works somewhere else. The Formspree Make integration gives you 2 modules to read those submissions and reach the rest of the API. This page shows how to connect your key and build a first scenario.

What you can automate

What can the Formspree Make integration do for you?

The Formspree Make integration links one of your Formspree forms to Make, so the answers people send you can move into other tools without copy and paste. You build a scenario, the automation you assemble in Make, out of modules, each module being one brick that reads or writes data.

A clean list of every entry. List Form Submissions reads all the submissions of a form and hands them to the next module one by one, so a contact form can feed a sheet or a CRM record for each person who wrote in.

Reach what the modules skip. Make an API Call reuses the same connection to call any endpoint of the Formspree API. When you need something the list module does not offer, this is the route, provided you read the Formspree API documentation first.

A starting point for a small lead desk. A freelance studio can collect quote requests through Formspree and let Make pass them on to the next app of the scenario, such as a table in the Airtable Make integration.

What Make does not do here: there is no trigger for this app, so nothing fires the moment a form is sent. The scenario starts on a schedule instead. If you hesitate between platforms, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect Formspree to Make?

  1. 01

    Turn on the API in Formspree

    In Formspree, open the Forms section, click the form you want to automate and go to its Settings tab. Switch on the HTTP API toggle, then copy the API key that appears on screen.

  2. 02

    Add a Formspree module in Make

    In your scenario, add a Formspree module and click Create a connection. The connection is your Formspree account linked to Make once, and every Formspree module of the scenario can reuse it.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like, it is optional. Paste the API key you copied from Formspree, follow the on-screen prompts and save. The module can now read your form.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Formspree

GoalWhen Make runs on its schedule, it reads the entries of your Formspree form and can call another Formspree endpoint with the same connection.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

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

  2. 02

    Add List Form Submissions

    Search for Formspree, pick List Form Submissions and click Create a connection to link the API key of your form. Then fill the module fields.

  3. 03

    Chain Make an API Call

    Click the + on the right of the first module and add Make an API Call. Pick the request in the Formspree API documentation, then map the details of each submission into it.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make executes the scenario a single time, and you can open each module to read the bundles, the items it received, such as one submission each.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario, then switch the scenario on so it keeps running without you.

Modules

What the Formspree modules do

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

Formspree1

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

With this module you get access to any endpoint of the Formspree API, using the connection you already set up, so you are not limited to the one listed module.

When to use it
you need a Formspree operation that List Form Submissions does not cover and the Formspree API documentation describes it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the vendor documentation open and test with Run once before switching the scenario on.
Formspree2

List Form Submissions

Search

In Make“Lists all submissions for a form.”

You receive every submission of a chosen form, each one handed on as its own bundle, which lets the next module treat entries one at a time.

When to use it
a contact or quote form collects requests and you want each one copied into a sheet, a CRM or a message to your team.
Watch out
it is a search that returns all the entries of the form on each run, so plan how the next module handles ones it has already seen.

FAQ

Questions about the Formspree Make integration

01Is the Formspree Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Formspree is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs and 5 minutes of execution at most. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. You still need an active Formspree account, and its own subscription terms are set by Formspree, so check their pricing page for that part.
02What do you need to connect Formspree to Make?
You need an active Formspree account and the API key of the form you want to automate. In Formspree, open Forms, choose the form, go to its Settings tab, turn on the HTTP API toggle and copy the key shown on screen. Back in Make, add a Formspree module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, paste the key and save. That single connection then serves both modules of the app inside the scenario.
03Does the Formspree module in Make react in real time?
No. The Formspree app in Make has no trigger at all, neither scheduled nor instant, so nothing starts the moment a visitor sends the form. You start the scenario with its schedule instead: put List Form Submissions first and set the clock on that 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 between runs.
04What if the Formspree module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Formspree API with the connection you already have, so the gap left by the single listed search can be filled as long as the Formspree API documentation describes what you need. The Make documentation for this app also warns that its content is AI-generated from Formspree sources and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with Formspree directly before relying on them.
05Make or n8n for Formspree?
It depends on your criteria, and this page only documents the Make side. In Make, Formspree offers List Form Submissions to read entries and Make an API Call for the rest of its API, both on one connection, with no trigger. Before choosing, compare what each platform lists for Formspree against the job you need done, and weigh how comfortable your team is with each editor. The comparison page linked earlier on this page sets out the general criteria without ranking the two tools.
