What you can automate

What does the Hookr Make integration do?

The Hookr Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, send push notifications through your Hookr account. Hookr has no trigger in Make, so something else starts the scenario: an event in another app, or a schedule you set. Hookr is the step that tells you about it.

An alert when a form comes in. A new entry lands in your form tool, and Send push notification pings you right after. You react to the lead instead of finding it later in a mailbox.

A heads-up at the end of a longer scenario. Put Hookr as the last module of a scenario that already does real work, such as copying data between two apps, so you hear when a run has gone through.

Everything else in the Hookr API. Make an API call reaches any endpoint of the Hookr API with the same connection, which covers what the listed module does not.

What this integration does not do: it cannot start a scenario by itself, since it has no trigger. The Hookr documentation used by Make also warns that its content is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so check important details with Hookr. If a module errors, the Make troubleshooting guide walks through the usual causes.

Connect

How do you connect Hookr to Make?

  1. 01

    Create an API key in Hookr

    You need an active Hookr account. In the Hookr app, open the Settings tab, click Create API Key, then copy the key shown on screen. Keep it at hand, Make will ask for it in a moment.

  2. 02

    Add a Hookr module in Make

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

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key you copied from Hookr, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, and confirm. The connection now appears in the module, and the second Hookr module can pick it from the list.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Hookr

GoalWhen a new record appears in another app, Make sends you a Hookr push notification about it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. It will not be Hookr: pick the app where the event happens.

  2. 02

    Set the starting module

    Search that app, choose the module that watches for new records, and link its account with Create a connection. Each record it finds becomes a bundle, one item passed to the next module.

  3. 03

    Add Send push notification

    Click the + on the right of that module, search Hookr, pick Send push notification and select your Hookr connection. Map data from the first module into the notification.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open each module to read the bundles it received, and check that the notification arrived with the right content.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

Everything the Hookr modules can do

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

Hookr1

Make an API call

ActionIn the docs only

With this module you reach any endpoint of the Hookr API, reusing the connection you already created, so no second key is needed. It fills the gap left by the one ready-made action.

When to use it
you need a Hookr feature that Send push notification does not cover.
Watch out
the Hookr docs in Make are AI-generated and may hold mistakes, so confirm the endpoint with Hookr before relying on it.
Hookr2

Send push notification

ActionIn the docs only

This is the module that actually alerts you: it sends a push notification through your Hookr account each time a bundle reaches it. Place it after whatever module carries the news.

When to use it
a deal closes in your CRM or an order is paid, and you want to know right away without watching the app.
Watch out
it sends once per bundle, so ten records mean ten notifications and ten operations.

FAQ

Hookr and Make: common questions

01Is the Hookr Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Hookr 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 per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations per month. You still need an active Hookr account, and its own subscription is described on the Hookr pricing page.
02What do you need to connect Hookr to Make?
Two things: an active Hookr account and a Hookr API key. You create the key in the Hookr app, under the Settings tab, with the Create API Key button, then copy it. In Make, add a Hookr module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, and paste the key. Once saved, that connection serves both Hookr modules, so you only do this once per Hookr account.
03Can the Hookr Make integration react in real time?
Not by itself, because Hookr has no trigger module in Make. The scenario has to start elsewhere. Either you begin with a trigger from another app, which can be instant if that app offers one, or you rely on the scenario schedule set on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. The Free plan allows no shorter interval than 15 minutes, paid plans go down to 1 minute. Hookr then sends the notification as the next step of that run.
04What if a Hookr module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API call. It calls any endpoint of the Hookr API with the connection you already have, so anything beyond Send push notification is still reachable. Keep in mind that the Hookr documentation available in Make is flagged as AI-generated and may contain mistakes. Before building on an endpoint, confirm its behavior with Hookr directly, and test the call with Run once to read what comes back before you switch the scenario on.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Hookr?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Hookr offers Send push notification plus Make an API call, both on a single connection, and the app is available from the Free plan. Many apps also have an n8n node, but this page does not document one for Hookr, so check the n8n side before you pick. Choose on what you can verify for your own case, not on a general ranking of the two platforms.
