What you can automate

What does the Freedcamp Make integration do?

The Freedcamp Make integration links your Freedcamp account to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a brick that watches, creates or reads something. Once linked, projects, tasks and comments can move between Freedcamp and your other apps without copy and paste.

Every new project starts with its kickoff task. Watch New Project spots the project, then Create a Task drops the first to-do inside it, so nobody forgets the setup work.

Client feedback lands where the work is. A form or an inbox in another app feeds Add a Comment, and the remark shows up on the right Freedcamp task instead of sitting in an email thread.

Your personal queue follows you. Watch Task Assigned to Me picks up each task handed to you and can copy it to a calendar, a chat or a sheet you already check.

One thing to know before you plan: all four Freedcamp triggers are scheduled, and the module list has no delete action. If you need an endpoint the modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the Freedcamp API with the same connection. To weigh the platform itself, read the Make review, and if you also look at n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison sets the two side by side. Teams that prefer to learn by building can start with the Make training.

Connect

How do you connect Freedcamp to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your API key in Freedcamp

    Open your Freedcamp account settings, go to the Integrations or API tab and click Generate. Freedcamp then shows an API key and an API secret. Copy both, since Make asks for the pair.

  2. 02

    Add a Freedcamp module and open the connection

    In your Make scenario, add any Freedcamp module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Freedcamp account linked to Make once and reused by every Freedcamp module. The Connection name field is optional.

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Paste the API key and the API secret you copied, then follow the on-screen instructions to finish. The connection now appears in the module, and Make can list your Freedcamp projects when you fill the fields.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Freedcamp

GoalWhen a new project appears in Freedcamp, Make creates a kickoff task inside it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module. Search for Freedcamp and pick Watch New Project.

  2. 02

    Link your account

    Click Create a connection, paste your API key and API secret, and save. The trigger is now tied to your Freedcamp workspace and ready to be set up.

  3. 03

    Add the task module

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Create a Task. Map the project coming from the trigger so the task lands in the project that just appeared, then write the task wording.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Create a test project in Freedcamp, then click Run once. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundle it received: one bundle is one item, here one project and then one task.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Click the clock on the first module to set Scheduling. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Pick the interval that suits your projects, then switch the scenario on.

Triggers

Freedcamp triggers in Make

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

Freedcamp1Watch New Comment

Watch New Comment

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new comment is added for a task.”

Starts your scenario whenever someone leaves a new comment on a Freedcamp task, so the discussion can reach people who never open Freedcamp.

How it fires
scheduled, Make checks Freedcamp on the scenario's schedule and picks up the comments added since the last check.
When to use it
a client or a teammate replies on a task and the account manager needs a ping in the chat tool the team actually reads.
Watch out
every new comment becomes its own run of the next modules, and each module execution counts as an operation on your Make plan, so a busy task thread adds up.
Freedcamp2Watch New Project

Watch New Project

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Watches for a new project.”

Hands you each freshly created Freedcamp project, ready to be set up automatically with tasks, notes in another tool or a line in a tracking sheet.

How it fires
scheduled, Make looks at Freedcamp on the scenario's schedule rather than being told the instant the project exists.
When to use it
your agency opens one project per signed client, and every project should start with the same kickoff steps without anyone typing them.
Watch out
since the check is scheduled, a project created right after a run waits for the next one; set the interval before promising a fast setup.
Freedcamp3Watch New Task

Watch New Task

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new task is created.”

Catches every task created in Freedcamp, whoever wrote it, and passes it to the rest of your scenario as a bundle you can map field by field.

How it fires
scheduled, Make queries Freedcamp on the scenario's schedule and collects the tasks created since its previous pass.
When to use it
you log all incoming work in a reporting sheet, or you want a new task to open a matching ticket in a support tool.
Watch out
it sees tasks from the whole account you connected, not only yours; if the scenario should follow one person, the next trigger fits better.
Freedcamp4Watch Task Assigned to Me

Watch Task Assigned to Me

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a task is assigned to me.”

Follows only the tasks assigned to you, "me" being, logically, the Freedcamp user behind the connection, which turns Freedcamp into a personal inbox you can forward anywhere.

How it fires
scheduled, Make asks Freedcamp for newly assigned tasks each time the scenario runs on its schedule.
When to use it
a freelancer or a lead wants each new assignment copied to a calendar or a to-do app they check first thing.
Watch out
the account behind the connection decides whose tasks count; connect with the Freedcamp user whose assignments you want to track, not a shared admin login.
Modules

Freedcamp actions and searches in Make

Freedcamp gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Freedcamp1

Add a Comment

Action

In Make“Adds a new comment.”

Posts a new comment in Freedcamp from your scenario, so updates coming from other apps appear next to the work they concern.

When to use it
an invoice gets paid or a form answer arrives, and the team should read it on the related task without switching tools.
Watch out
if the same scenario starts on Watch New Comment, the comment you post will be picked up at the next check; filter it out to avoid a loop.
Freedcamp2

Create a Project

Action

In Make“Creates a new project.”

Opens a brand new Freedcamp project from data sent by another app, so a signed deal or an accepted quote becomes a workspace right away.

When to use it
your CRM marks a deal as won and the delivery team expects the client project to exist before the kickoff call.
Watch out
run the scenario once on test data first, since each run creates a real project in your account.
Freedcamp3

Create a Task

Action

In Make“Creates a new task.”

Adds a task to Freedcamp with content mapped from earlier modules, which is the quickest way to turn requests from outside into tracked work.

When to use it
a support email, a form entry or a new project should become a to-do that someone owns inside Freedcamp.
Watch out
map the project from a previous bundle instead of picking one by hand if the scenario serves several projects.
Freedcamp4

Get a Project

Action

In Make“Returns a specified project.”

Fetches one specific Freedcamp project and hands its details to the next modules, useful when you know which project you mean and want its current details.

When to use it
a comment or a task arrives and your message needs the project's details too, for a report or a client update.
Watch out
it reads a single project you point to; to browse several, List Projects is the right module.
Freedcamp5

Get a Task

Action

In Make“Returns a specified task.”

Pulls the full record of one task you already know, so later modules work with its current content rather than an old copy.

When to use it
after Watch New Comment, you want the task behind the comment before notifying its owner or writing to a sheet.
Watch out
the task has to be identified by an earlier module; this module does not search by keyword.
Freedcamp6

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Sends any request you write to the Freedcamp API with the connection you already set up, covering what the ready-made modules leave out.

When to use it
you need an operation absent from this list, such as removing an item, since no delete module exists for Freedcamp in Make.
Watch out
you build the request yourself, so keep the Freedcamp API documentation open and test with Run once before switching on.
Freedcamp7

Update a Project

Action

In Make“Updates a specified project.”

Changes an existing Freedcamp project from your scenario, keeping its details in line with what happens in your sales or billing tools.

When to use it
a contract is renewed or a client changes scope, and the project in Freedcamp should reflect it without a manual edit.
Watch out
it acts on one project you designate, so get the right one first with Get a Project or List Projects.
Freedcamp8

Update a Task

Action

In Make“Updates a specified task.”

Edits a task that already exists in Freedcamp, so progress recorded elsewhere shows up on the task itself.

When to use it
a ticket closes in your helpdesk or a document gets signed, and the matching Freedcamp task should move forward on its own.
Watch out
pair it with Get a Task or List Tasks to target the exact task, otherwise you risk editing the wrong one.
Freedcamp9

List Projects

Search

In Make“Returns a list of projects.”

Returns the projects of your Freedcamp account, one bundle per project, so a scenario can walk through all of them.

When to use it
you build a portfolio overview in a spreadsheet, or you need to find a project before updating it.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many bundles, and every following module then runs once per project, which multiplies operations.
Freedcamp10

List Tasks

Search

In Make“Returns a list of tasks.”

Gives back a set of Freedcamp tasks as separate bundles, ready to be filtered, counted or copied into another app.

When to use it
an end-of-sprint digest, a status export for a client, or a check for open work before closing a project.
Watch out
a search can also return zero tasks, so test with Run once on a project that has tasks before you trust the output.

FAQ

Freedcamp and Make: common questions

01Is the Freedcamp Make integration free?
Yes, Freedcamp is a standard app in Make, so it works on the Free plan as well as on paid plans. The Free plan has limits you will feel quickly: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two 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. You still need your own Freedcamp account, whose pricing is set by Freedcamp.
02What do you need to connect Freedcamp to Make?
An active Freedcamp account and an API key with its API secret. You generate both in your Freedcamp account settings, under the Integrations or API tab, with the Generate button. In Make, you add a Freedcamp module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, and paste the two values. That connection is then reused by every Freedcamp module in your scenarios, so you only do it once.
03Does the Freedcamp trigger in Make react in real time?
No. All four Freedcamp triggers are scheduled: Make checks Freedcamp on the scenario's schedule instead of receiving a push from the app. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan does not go below that interval. Paid plans let you check as often as every minute. If you need a faster reaction, the setting to change is the schedule on the first module, not anything inside Freedcamp itself.
04What if a Freedcamp module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need, but Make an API Call usually covers it. The 14 modules handle projects, tasks and comments, with no delete module. Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Freedcamp API with the connection you already created, so you can send the request the listed modules do not offer. Keep in mind that the Make documentation for this app is marked as AI-generated from Freedcamp sources, so check important details with Freedcamp.
05Should you use Make or n8n with Freedcamp?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. In Make, Freedcamp comes with 14 ready modules, four scheduled triggers and Make an API Call for the rest, all built visually without code. n8n often offers a node for the same apps, so check whether it covers the Freedcamp actions you need before choosing. The fair test is simple: build your first scenario in one of them and see whether the modules match your projects.
