What can you automate with the Google Gemini AI Make integration?
The Google Gemini AI Make integration lets Make send text, files or prompts to Gemini and pass the result to your other apps. In Make, an automation is called a scenario: a chain of bricks named modules. Gemini has no trigger of its own, so another app or a schedule starts the scenario, and Gemini does the thinking in the middle.
Structured records from messy input. An inbound email or a PDF quote lands in another app; Extract structured data turns it into clean values you can map into a CRM or a table, such as the one behind the Airtable Make integration.
Content that ships with its media. A product brief goes through Generate a response for the copy, then Generate an image or Generate speech from text for the visual or the voice-over, all in one run.
Answers grounded in your own documents. With Upload a file and the file search store modules, you keep a set of reference files that Gemini can use in its completions.
What the integration does not do: it cannot start a scenario by itself, and the documentation gives no numbered limit for this app, so check your own volumes with Run once before you scale up. The same app also has an n8n node, described on the Google Gemini AI n8n integration page; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick between the two tools.
How do you connect Google Gemini AI to Make?
- 01
Add a Gemini module
In your scenario, click the +, type Gemini in the search box and pick the module you need. Make then asks for a connection, meaning your Gemini account linked to Make once and reused by every Gemini module afterward.
- 02
Create the connection
Click Create a connection. You can give it a name, which helps when a client account and your own account sit side by side in the same Make organization.
- 03
Authorize and save
Follow what Make displays: either approve access on the Google page that opens, or paste the key Google gives you. Click Save, and the module fields unlock so you can finish the setup.
Your first scenario with Google Gemini AI
GoalWhen a new request arrives in another app, Google Gemini AI drafts a reply and Make passes it on.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the trigger of the app where requests land: a form tool, a spreadsheet or an inbox.
- 02
Add Generate a response
Click the + on the right of that first module, search Gemini and choose Generate a response. Create the connection if Make asks for it.
- 03
Map the request into the prompt
Write your instruction in the input, then drag in the text coming from the first module. Each item that flows between modules is a bundle, so every request gets its own reply.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once and send a test request. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and check the reply Gemini wrote.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Add the step that stores or sends the reply, then set the clock on the first module. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Switch the scenario on.
What can Google Gemini AI do in Make?
Google Gemini AI gives you 17 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create a file search store
ActionIn Make“Creates a new file search store.”
Sets up a new file search store, a container on the Gemini side that holds reference files for later use in answers. It is the first step before any file can join a store.
Delete a file in a file search store
ActionIn Make“Deletes a file from a selected files search store.”
Removes one file from the store you select, so Gemini stops relying on it. The store itself and its other files stay in place.
Delete a file search store
ActionIn Make“Deletes a file search store.”
Wipes an entire file search store in one step. It is the clean-up move once a project or a client folder is closed.
Extract structured data
ActionIn Make“Extracts structured data from text or files.”
Reads free text or a file and returns the pieces you ask for as separate values, ready to map into the next module. Messy input goes in, tidy fields come out.
Generate an image
ActionIn Make“Generates an image.”
Produces a picture from your description and hands it to the next module as a file. You can then store it, attach it or publish it without leaving the scenario.
Generate a response
ActionIn Make“Generates a response for the provided input.”
This is the workhorse: you give an input and Gemini writes back an answer you can reuse anywhere downstream. It uses your connection, so it can also work with files you have uploaded.
Generate a video
ActionIn Make“Generates a video.”
Creates a video clip from your instructions and passes it along as a file. It turns a written idea into footage without opening an editing tool.
Generate embeddings
ActionIn Make“Generate vector representations (embeddings) for the text or file you provide.”
Turns a text or a file into a vector, a list of numbers that captures meaning so that similar content can be matched. The output feeds a database or a search tool rather than a person.
Generate music
ActionIn Make“Generate high-quality, stereo audio from text prompts or from images.”
Composes a stereo audio track from a text prompt or from an image. You get a sound file ready to pair with a video or a post.
Generate speech from text
ActionIn Make“Generates an audio file based on text input and settings.”
Reads your text aloud and returns an audio file, shaped by the voice settings you choose. Written content becomes something people can listen to.
Get a file from a file search store
ActionIn Make“Returns detailed information about a file in a file search store.”
Returns the details of one file inside a store, so you can check what Gemini holds before acting on it. Nothing is changed.
Get a file search store
ActionIn Make“Retrieves details about a file search store.”
Brings back the details of a single file search store. It is a read-only look that tells you the store exists and what describes it.
Make an API call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Calls any endpoint of the Gemini API with the connection you already set up. It covers whatever the other modules leave out.
Simple text prompt
ActionIn Make“Generates text responses from prompts without requiring an account or connection.”
Sends a prompt and returns text, without any account or connection. It is the fastest way to see Gemini inside a scenario.
Upload a file
ActionIn Make“Uploads a file so it can be used in the completions or in file search stores.”
Sends a file to Gemini so later modules can use it, either in a completion or inside a file search store. Think of it as handing over the document before asking questions about it.
List file search stores
SearchIn Make“Returns a list of file search stores.”
Gives you every file search store on the account, each one as a separate bundle. It is a search module, so it may return zero, one or many results.
List files from a file search store
SearchIn Make“Returns a list of files from a selected file search store.”
Shows the files held in one chosen store, one bundle per file. You see exactly what Gemini can draw on for that store.
