What you can automate

What does the Gumlet Make integration do?

The Gumlet Make integration links your Gumlet account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself) out of modules (single bricks: a trigger or an action). Gumlet brings six of them: three that start a scenario when videos change, and three that act on your account.

Tell your audience about fresh content. Watch new videos added to Playlist fires when a playlist gets a new video, so a course creator can pass the news to an email or chat app in the next module.

Feed Gumlet from somewhere else. Upload Video sends a video into your account, which lets a marketing team push files that arrive in another tool straight to Gumlet, without downloading them by hand.

Prepare broadcasts and onboard people. Create a Live Stream opens a stream from a scenario, and Invite Channel Members adds people to a video channel, handy when a new client or trainee joins.

Be aware of one gap: Make says it cannot yet provide complete documentation for Gumlet, because public information about the app is thin. The module names are known, but their fields are not described, so you discover them inside the editor. There is also no Make an API Call module for Gumlet. If you are still choosing a platform, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make pricing page explains what each plan counts.

Connect

How do you connect Gumlet to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Gumlet module

    In a scenario, click the +, search for Gumlet and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your Gumlet account linked to Make once, and every Gumlet module reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This field is optional, but a clear name such as the workspace it belongs to saves confusion later, especially if you ever link a second Gumlet account for a client or a separate project.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what Gumlet presents, either approve Make on the Gumlet page that opens or paste the key Gumlet gives you. Click Save, and the module can now list what it reads from your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Gumlet

GoalWhen a video file shows up in another app, Make sends it to Gumlet with Upload Video.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. The first module decides when the scenario starts, so pick the app where your raw videos arrive.

  2. 02

    Set up the starting module

    Search for that app and choose its module that watches for new files. Connect your account: once that is done, Make lists the folders it can read and you simply click yours.

  3. 03

    Add Upload Video

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search for Gumlet and choose Upload Video. Create the Gumlet connection, then map the file data from the previous module into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Drop a test video where the first app watches and click Run once. Each module shows the bundles it received (a bundle is one item passed along, here one video), so you see whether Gumlet got it.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation, which is what Make measures on your plan.

Triggers

What can start a Gumlet scenario?

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

Gumlet1Watch new Video

Watch new Video

Instant trigger

In Make“This will watch for the new videos added in your selected collection.”

This trigger gives you a scenario that starts the moment a new video appears in the collection you select, so the follow-up work happens without anyone checking Gumlet.

How it fires
instant, Gumlet calls Make through a webhook as soon as the video is added, which is what the lightning badge on the module means.
When to use it
pick it when every new video in one collection should trigger the same follow-up, like alerting an editor or logging the upload in a sheet.
Watch out
it watches a single collection, so a video added elsewhere will not start the scenario.
Gumlet2Watch new videos added to Playlist

Watch new videos added to Playlist

Instant trigger

In Make“Get to know when new videos are added to your playlist. This way you can update your users of new videos for engagement.”

With this one, your audience or your team hears about new content as soon as a playlist grows, since the scenario starts each time a video joins it.

How it fires
instant, Gumlet notifies Make through a webhook right when the video is added to the playlist.
When to use it
choose it over Watch new Video when the playlist, not the upload, is the real signal, for example a course where a lesson counts as published once it sits in the playlist.
Watch out
removals do not fire it; for those, look at the next trigger.
Gumlet3Watch videos added or removed from Playlist

Watch videos added or removed from Playlist

triggerIn the docs only

This trigger lets you follow a playlist in both directions, catching videos that arrive and videos that leave, so a catalog kept elsewhere can stay in line.

How it fires
scheduled, meaning Make checks Gumlet on the scenario's schedule. That type is deduced from its name: the documentation lists it without a description, so confirm the clock badge when you add it.
When to use it
when removing a video matters as much as adding one, such as pulling a lesson from a members page.
Watch out
changes are picked up at the next scheduled check, not at the moment they happen.
Modules

What can Make do in Gumlet?

Gumlet gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Gumlet1

Create a Live Stream

Action

In Make“You can create live streams automatically using Make.”

You get a new live stream in Gumlet opened by the scenario itself, so a broadcast can be ready as soon as the event behind it is confirmed.

When to use it
when a webinar is booked in another app and you want the stream prepared without logging into Gumlet.
Watch out
the fields are not documented, so run it once and check what Gumlet created.
Gumlet2

Invite Channel Members

Action

In Make“Invite the members to your video channels.”

This action brings people into one of your video channels, which saves sending each invitation by hand when a team or client group changes.

When to use it
right after someone signs up or joins a project, with their details coming from the previous module.
Watch out
test it on your own address first, since a real invitation reaches a real inbox.
Gumlet3

Upload Video

Action

In Make“Upload a video to your Gumlet account.”

Your videos reach your Gumlet account without a manual download and re-upload, because the scenario sends the file straight from the app where it was stored.

When to use it
when recordings land in a shared folder or another tool and should end up in Gumlet for hosting.
Watch out
on the Free plan, Make handles files up to 5 MB, which a video easily exceeds.

FAQ

Gumlet and Make: common questions

01Is the Gumlet Make integration free?
Yes, Gumlet is a standard app, so its modules are available from the Free plan. That plan keeps you to 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes per execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. The file limit matters with video, so uploads through Upload Video may need a paid plan. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in operations per month. What Gumlet itself charges is a separate question this page does not cover.
02What does it take to connect Gumlet to Make?
A Gumlet account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for Gumlet and gives no dedicated connection steps, so the generic route applies: add any Gumlet module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the Gumlet page or paste the key Gumlet provides, and click Save. The connection is created once and reused by all six Gumlet modules. If authorization fails, check with Gumlet which login or key it expects, because the Make documentation for this app is marked as limited.
03Does the Gumlet trigger in Make work in real time?
It depends on the trigger. Watch new Video and Watch new videos added to Playlist are instant: Gumlet calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, so the scenario starts right away. Watch videos added or removed from Playlist is most likely scheduled (its type is deduced from its name), which means Make checks Gumlet on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default and 1 minute at the shortest on paid plans. That trigger has no description in the documentation, so look for the clock or lightning badge on the module to confirm its type.
04What if a Gumlet module is missing in Make?
Gumlet has no Make an API Call module in Make, so you cannot reach the rest of its API from a generic module. The six modules cover new videos, playlist changes, uploads, live streams and channel invitations, and Make notes that its documentation for Gumlet is still incomplete. If your need falls outside that, see whether another app in your scenario can handle the missing part, or ask the team for help designing the flow. When a module does exist but its fields are unclear, a Run once test shows what it expects.
05Is Make or n8n the better fit for Gumlet?
It depends on how you like to build. On Make, Gumlet offers six modules, including two instant triggers, available from the Free plan, and the editor guides you with visual modules and a Run once test. Many apps also have an n8n node, but this page does not confirm one for Gumlet, so check the n8n node list before choosing on that basis. Compare the two tools on the modules you actually need, the kind of trigger each gives you and how your team prefers to work, rather than on reputation.
