Hexomatic Make integrationAutomate Hexomatic with Make.

What happens to your Hexomatic results once a workflow finishes? The Hexomatic Make integration gives you 3 modules, including an instant trigger, so that data can move on without copy and paste. This page walks you through the connection and a first working scenario.

What you can automate

What can the Hexomatic Make integration do for you?

The Hexomatic Make integration links your Hexomatic account to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: the automation itself, a chain of modules that run one after the other. Each module is one brick, such as a trigger that starts things or an action that does something, and you assemble them without writing code.

Pass results downstream the moment a workflow reports back. Watch workflow data is an instant trigger: Hexomatic calls Make through a webhook as soon as a workflow event happens, so the next modules of your scenario receive the data right away instead of waiting for a check.

Keep an inventory of what runs in your account. List Workflows returns every workflow of the account, one bundle per workflow (a bundle is one item passed from a module to the next). Feed those items into a spreadsheet or a report and your team sees the full catalog in one place.

Reach what the listed modules leave out. Make an API Call lets the scenario call any endpoint of the Hexomatic API with the same connection. It is the way around a short module list, as long as you know which endpoint you need.

One honest limit: Make says its own documentation for Hexomatic is incomplete, because there is not enough public information about the app. Expect to test more with Run once than on a well-documented app, and keep Make troubleshooting close by. To judge the platform itself before you commit, read our Make review, and if the same app also interests you on n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences.

Connect

How do you connect your Hexomatic account to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Hexomatic module

    In your scenario, click the + and search for Hexomatic, then pick any of its modules. On the module, click Create a connection: a connection is your Hexomatic account linked to Make once, and every Hexomatic module reuses it afterward.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a clear name if you like, which helps when several accounts coexist. Then either approve access on the Hexomatic page that opens, or paste the key Hexomatic gives you, depending on what the connection window asks for.

  3. 03

    Save and check the result

    Click Save. The connection now appears in the module's dropdown, and Make can read the objects of your account. If that list stays empty, the authorization did not go through and it is worth creating the connection again.

First scenario

Your first scenario with the Hexomatic Make integration

GoalWhen a workflow sends new data in Hexomatic, Make receives it at once and calls the Hexomatic API endpoint you choose with that data.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the large + to place the first module. The canvas is empty until then, which is normal.

  2. 02

    Place the instant trigger

    Search for Hexomatic and pick Watch workflow data. Select your connection, or click Create a connection if this is your first Hexomatic module. The lightning badge marks it as instant.

  3. 03

    Add the API call

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and choose Make an API Call. Enter the Hexomatic endpoint you need, then map values from the trigger by picking them in the panel that lists its output.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then make a workflow produce data on the Hexomatic side. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles it received and confirm the call returned what you expected.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    Once the test looks right, save and switch the scenario on. From then on, each workflow event reaches Make through the webhook and runs the chain without you opening the editor.

Triggers

What starts a Hexomatic scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Hexomatic. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Hexomatic as soon as it happens.

Hexomatic1Watch workflow data

Watch workflow data

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new workflow event occurs.”

Watch workflow data hands your scenario the output of a Hexomatic workflow as soon as a new workflow event occurs, so the next modules can store, send or reshape it without anyone exporting a file by hand.

How it fires
instant: Hexomatic calls Make through a webhook as soon as it happens, so there is no interval to set on this module.
When to use it
any scenario whose starting point is a Hexomatic workflow producing something that another tool of yours should receive.
Watch out
the scenario must be switched on to receive events; while it is off, or outside a Run once test, events do not reach it.
Modules

What the Hexomatic modules do

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

Hexomatic1

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API Call opens the whole Hexomatic API to your scenario: you pick an endpoint, and Make sends the request with the connection you already created, so no separate credentials are needed.

When to use it
the action you want has no dedicated module here, which will happen often given the short list.
Watch out
you need to know the endpoint and what it expects, and Make's Hexomatic documentation will not spell it out for you.
Hexomatic2

List Workflows

Search

In Make“Lists all workflows.”

List Workflows gives you every workflow of the Hexomatic account, each one as a separate bundle that later modules can process one at a time.

When to use it
you want a catalog of your workflows in a sheet, or you need to pick a workflow before an API call.
Watch out
as a search, it can return zero, one or many bundles, and each module after it runs once per bundle, which counts as more operations on your plan.

FAQ

Hexomatic Make integration: frequent questions

01Is the Hexomatic Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Hexomatic is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, lift the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run on one bundle. Your Hexomatic subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What does it take to connect Hexomatic to Make?
A Hexomatic account and a Make account. Make's documentation for Hexomatic lists no specific prerequisite, so the generic flow applies: add a Hexomatic module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make on the Hexomatic page or paste the key the app gives you, then click Save. The connection is shared by all three Hexomatic modules. Because Make describes its Hexomatic documentation as limited, check the connection by running a module with Run once and reading what comes back.
03Does the Hexomatic trigger in Make work in real time?
Yes. Watch workflow data is an instant trigger, marked with a lightning badge in the editor. Hexomatic calls Make through a webhook as soon as a workflow event happens, and the scenario starts at that point instead of waiting for a scheduled check. The other two modules, List Workflows and Make an API Call, do not start anything on their own. If you want them to run without the trigger, place them in a scenario that starts from a schedule, which is every 15 minutes by default on a new scenario.
04What if a Hexomatic module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Hexomatic API with the connection you already set up, so an action with no dedicated module is still within reach. The catch is that you have to know the endpoint and its parameters, and Make notes that its Hexomatic documentation is incomplete due to limited public information. Build the call step by step, test each version with Run once and read the returned bundles before switching the scenario on.
05Make or n8n for Hexomatic: which one fits?
It depends on the tool you already work in. The same app often has a node on n8n too, so check both catalogs against the actions you need. On Make, you get three modules: an instant trigger on workflow data, a search that lists workflows and a generic API call. If those three cover your case and your other apps already live in Make, stay there. If your automations run on n8n, look at its Hexomatic node first. Compare features rather than assumptions.
