What does the Freelo Make integration let you automate?
The Freelo Make integration links your Freelo account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario, meaning the automation itself: a chain of modules, each one a single brick such as a trigger, an action or a search. Freelo then sends changes to Make, and Make can create, update or list what lives in Freelo.
Projects that start ready to work. When a deal is signed in another tool, Create Project From Template opens the Freelo project from your usual template, then Invite Users by Email brings the right people in. Nobody rebuilds the same folders by hand.
Billing that follows the work. Watch Work Report Changes reacts as soon as someone logs time, and List Issued Invoices or Mark Invoice As Invoiced keep your accounting side aligned with what Freelo shows.
Tasks that never get lost. A form entry or an email can become a task with Create a Task, and Watch Comment Changes can push every new comment to the channel your team actually reads.
Make will not invent what the listed modules skip. For anything else in the Freelo API, the Make an API Call module reuses your connection. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, and the Make review covers the editor itself. Teams that want help building can talk to our Make agency.
How do you connect Freelo to Make?
- 01
Add a Freelo module
Open a scenario in Make, add any Freelo module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Freelo account linked to Make once, then reused by every Freelo module. With an instant module, click Create a webhook first.
- 02
Name and save it
The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when several accounts share one Make workspace. Type something like the team or client name, then click Save.
- 03
Approve access in Freelo
If Make asks for it, a popup window opens so you can sign in to Freelo. Authenticate there and click I agree. The popup closes and the module now shows your account, ready to fill.
Your first scenario with Freelo
GoalWhen a task changes in Freelo, Make adds a comment to that task so the history stays readable.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module. This first module decides when everything else runs.
- 02
Pick Watch Task Changes
Search for Freelo, choose Watch Task Changes, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection and approve access. Freelo will now call Make whenever a task changes.
- 03
Add the comment step
Click the + on the right of the trigger and pick Add Comment to a Task. Map the task from the first module (check in Run once that it is there), so each bundle (one item passed between modules, here one task) gets its own comment.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then edit a task in Freelo. Make shows the bundles each module received, so you can check the comment landed on the right task before going further.
- 05
Switch it on
Turn the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, it runs when Freelo sends a change rather than on the default 15 minute schedule that scheduled scenarios use.
Which Freelo triggers start a scenario?
4 modules start a scenario when something happens in Freelo. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Freelo as soon as it happens.
Watch To-Do List Changes
Instant triggerIn Make“Watches changes on To-Do list”
Your scenario learns about every change on a Freelo to-do list and can react before anyone opens the project. Use it to mirror list updates somewhere else or to alert the owner of a workstream.
Watch Task Changes
Instant triggerIn Make“Watches for changes on a task”
Each time a Freelo task changes, this trigger hands the task to Make as a bundle, so the next modules can comment, notify or copy it. It is the most direct way to follow day to day work.
Watch Comment Changes
Instant triggerIn Make“Watches for changes on comments”
Comments from Freelo arrive in Make without delay, which lets you forward discussion to people who rarely log in. Every change on a comment becomes one bundle you can route.
Watch Work Report Changes
Instant triggerIn Make“Watches for changes on a work report.”
Logged time becomes usable data the moment it changes in Freelo. The trigger passes each work report to Make, where you can total hours, update a sheet or prepare billing.
What can Make do in Freelo?
Freelo gives you 36 modules in 10 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Modules index
Project
9 modulesActivate a Project
ActionIn Make“Activates an archived project”
Brings an archived Freelo project back to life so the team can work in it again. Useful when a past client returns and you would rather reuse the old history than start a blank project.
Archive a Project
ActionIn Make“Archives a project”
Moves a finished project out of the way while keeping everything inside it. Your active list stays short, and the work can come back later with Activate a Project.
Create a Project
ActionIn Make“Creates a project”
Opens a brand new, empty project in Freelo from data your scenario already has, such as a client name from a form. It saves the copy and paste that usually starts every new job.
Create Project From Template
ActionIn Make“Creates project from template”
Starts a project from a template you already keep in Freelo, so every client gets the same proven setup. It is the quickest route to a project that is ready on day one.
Delete a Project
ActionIn Make“Deletes a project”
Removes a project from Freelo for good. It keeps the workspace clean when test projects or duplicates pile up after an import or a faulty scenario run.
Get Project Detail
ActionIn Make“Gets detail of a project”
Fetches the full record of one project so later modules can use its details in a message, a document or a report. You get one project, not a list.
List Invited Projects
SearchIn Make“Lists all projects you are invited to”
Returns the projects other people have invited your account to, which is handy for freelancers and subcontractors who work inside client workspaces. Each project comes out as its own bundle.
List All Projects
SearchIn Make“Lists all Projects (own and assigned)”
Gives your scenario every project you can see, the ones you own and the ones assigned to you. Think of it as the full inventory before a sync or a cleanup.
List Own Projects
SearchIn Make“Lists own projects.”
Narrows the list to projects your account owns, leaving invitations aside. That keeps a sync focused on the work you are responsible for.
To-Do List
3 modulesList To-Do Lists
SearchIn Make“Lists all To-Do lists”
Pulls the to-do lists from Freelo so you can pick the right one before adding tasks. Each list becomes a bundle you can filter by name.
Get To-Do List Detail
ActionIn Make“Gets To-Do list detail”
Reads a single to-do list in depth, useful when a trigger tells you a list changed and you want its current state. The result feeds a summary, an alert or a copy elsewhere.
Create a To-Do List
ActionIn Make“Creates a To-Do list”
Adds a fresh to-do list inside a project, so a new phase or deliverable gets its own space automatically. Tasks created next can land straight in it.
Task
10 modulesFinish a Task
ActionIn Make“Marks task as finished”
Marks a Freelo task as done from outside Freelo, so work closed elsewhere shows as closed here too. Your board stays honest without double entry.
List Tasks
SearchIn Make“List all tasks”
Returns tasks across your Freelo account, a wide view for reports, audits or exports. Every task arrives as a separate bundle you can filter.
List Tasks in a To-Do List
SearchIn Make“Lists all tasks for a To-Do list”
Focuses on the tasks of one to-do list, which is often all a scenario needs. Fewer bundles means a clearer run and fewer operations.
Create a Task
ActionIn Make“Creates a task”
Turns an outside event into a Freelo task so requests stop living in inboxes. A form answer, an email or a chat message can each become a task with its own title.
Get Task Detail
ActionIn Make“Gets detail of a task”
Loads the full content of one task, the step you add when a trigger or a search only gives you a reference. After it, every detail of the task is available to map.
Update a Task
ActionIn Make“Updates a task”
Changes an existing task instead of making a new one, so information from other tools flows into the same record. The task keeps its history and comments.
Delete a Task
ActionIn Make“Deletes a task”
Removes a task entirely, which suits duplicates or tasks created by a test run. The board loses the clutter in a single step.
Activate a Task
ActionIn Make“Activates a task”
Reopens a task that was finished, handy when work comes back after delivery. The task returns to the active board with its past intact.
List Subtasks for a Task
SearchIn Make“Lists subtasks of a task”
Shows the smaller steps hidden under one task, each returned as a bundle. That lets a scenario check progress at a finer level than the parent task.
Create a Sub Task
ActionIn Make“Creates a sub task”
Breaks a task into concrete steps automatically, so a standard request always arrives with its checklist. People see what to do without writing it out.
Comment
2 modulesList Comments
SearchIn Make“Lists all comments”
Collects comments from Freelo as separate bundles, ready to archive, search or summarize elsewhere. It is the catch-up tool, where the trigger is the live one.
Add Comment to a Task
ActionIn Make“Adds comment to a task”
Posts a comment on a task from your scenario, so outside updates appear where the team already looks. A payment received or a file uploaded can show up in the task thread.
Label
1 moduleCreate a Label
ActionIn Make“Creates a label”
Adds a new label to Freelo, so your tagging system can grow with the data coming from other tools. Labels help people sort tasks at a glance.
Work Report
2 modulesCreate Work Report
ActionIn Make“Creates a work report”
Logs time in Freelo from another source, for example a time tracker or a calendar event. Hours end up next to the tasks they belong to.
List Work Reports
SearchIn Make“Lists work reports”
Retrieves logged time as a set of bundles, the raw material for totals and billing checks. Add an aggregator after it when you need one sum rather than many rows.
Issued Invoice
3 modulesList Issued Invoices
SearchIn Make“Lists issued invoices”
Brings the invoices issued in Freelo into Make, where accounting tools and sheets can pick them up. No manual export between systems.
Get Issued Invoice
ActionIn Make“Gets issued invoice”
Reads one issued invoice in full, useful when you already know which invoice you are dealing with. Its details can then go into an email or a payment check.
Mark Invoice As Invoiced
ActionIn Make“Marks invoice as invoiced”
Updates the status of an invoice in Freelo so it matches what happened in your billing system. Both sides then tell the same story.
Users
3 modulesList Users
SearchIn Make“Lists users”
Returns the people in your Freelo account, which is the easiest way to find who should own a task or receive a message. Each user arrives as a bundle.
Invite Users by Email
ActionIn Make“Invites users to the project by emails”
Sends project invitations to email addresses, a good fit for clients or freelancers who may not be in Freelo yet. Access happens without an admin doing it by hand.
Invite Users
ActionIn Make“Invites users to the project”
Adds people to a project without going through a list of email addresses. It suits internal staffing on a new project.
Files
2 modulesList Files
SearchIn Make“Lists files”
Lists files stored in Freelo so you can back them up, rename them in another tool or share them onward. Each file is its own bundle.
Get a File
ActionIn Make“Gets a file”
Retrieves a specific file from Freelo so the next module can store, send or attach it. You work with the actual file, not only its name.
Other
1 moduleMake an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call”
Opens the rest of the Freelo API to your scenario, reusing the connection you already made. Anything the other modules skip can still be reached this way.
