What you can automate

What can the Hopscotch Make integration do?

The Hopscotch Make integration links your Hopscotch account to Make, so a scenario (the automation you build in Make, a chain of modules) can create, schedule or queue posts and react when a post goes out or lands in your schedule. You set it up once, then Make does the repetitive part.

A post ready as soon as the content exists. When an article or a product goes live in another tool, Schedule a Post or Smart Queue a Post can turn it into a Hopscotch post, so nobody copies text between tabs.

A record of what went out. Watch Published Posts hands each published post to the next module, which can file it in a spreadsheet or tell your team in a chat tool. The same idea works with Watch Scheduled Posts to review what is coming up.

A second life for a good post. Retweet shares an existing post again when a condition you choose in the scenario is met, and Create a Post covers the plain case of publishing new content.

What Make does not give you here: the official documentation for Hopscotch is limited, Make itself says there is not enough public information about the app, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach anything beyond these 6 modules. Before you commit, read our Make review, and if you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria.

Connect

How do you connect Hopscotch to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Hopscotch module

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

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This step is optional, but a clear name helps later. If you manage more than one Hopscotch account, a name like the brand or the client makes the right connection easy to spot in the dropdown.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what Hopscotch asks, either approve Make on the Hopscotch page that opens or paste the key Hopscotch gives you. Click Save. The module now shows your account and you can fill its fields.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Hopscotch

GoalWhen new content shows up in another app, Make schedules a matching post in Hopscotch.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Here it comes from the app where your content starts, such as your blog or your store.

  2. 02

    Set the starting module

    Pick that app's module that watches for new items and connect its account. Each new item becomes a bundle, one item that flows from a module to the next.

  3. 03

    Add Schedule a Post

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search Hopscotch and choose Schedule a Post. Select your connection, then map the title or link from the previous module into the fields Make shows.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time, and each module shows the bundles it received. Check in Hopscotch that the post landed where you expected before going further.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set how often Make checks for new content, every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on, and it keeps running without you.

Triggers

What starts a Hopscotch scenario?

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

Hopscotch1Watch Published Posts

Watch Published Posts

triggerIn the docs only

You get every post that has gone out from Hopscotch as a bundle your scenario can reuse: to log it, to share it with your team, or to pass it on to another tool once it is live.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks Hopscotch on the scenario's schedule, so a post shows up at the next check, not the second it goes out. The type is inferred from the module name, since the doc gives no description.
When to use it
you want a trace of what was actually published, rather than what was planned.
Watch out
on the Free plan the shortest interval is 15 minutes, and each post it returns uses an operation, one module run counted on your plan.
Hopscotch2Watch Scheduled Posts

Watch Scheduled Posts

triggerIn the docs only

This one hands your scenario each post waiting in the Hopscotch schedule, so a colleague can review the queue before anything reaches your audience.

How it fires
scheduled. Make polls Hopscotch at the rhythm you set on the scenario's clock; nothing arrives through a webhook. The type is inferred from the module name, because Make's documentation for this app stays thin.
When to use it
a manager signs off on posts before they go out and wants them sent to a review sheet or a chat channel.
Watch out
this one only sees posts still waiting; once a post goes out, Watch Published Posts is the module that picks it up.
Modules

What can Make do in Hopscotch?

Hopscotch gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Hopscotch1

Create a Post

ActionIn the docs only

Create a Post puts new content into Hopscotch from data another module sends, so a product launch or a fresh article turns into a post without retyping.

When to use it
the post should exist in Hopscotch right away, and you handle the timing there or leave it as is.
Watch out
run a test with Run once first, because every run creates a real post.
Hopscotch2

Retweet

ActionIn the docs only

Retweet shares an existing post again, giving a strong message a second pass in front of your audience without writing anything new.

When to use it
a post meets a condition you check earlier in the scenario, such as a keyword or a campaign tag passed by another app.
Watch out
the doc says nothing more about this module, so try it once on a harmless post before wiring it to a trigger.
Hopscotch3

Schedule a Post

ActionIn the docs only

Schedule a Post books a post in Hopscotch for later, so the content is ready ahead of time and goes out at the moment you pick instead of immediately.

When to use it
you know the publication moment, for example when the date comes from your editorial calendar in another app.
Watch out
map the date from the previous module carefully and check it after Run once, since a wrong mapping sends the post at the wrong moment.
Hopscotch4

Smart Queue a Post

ActionIn the docs only

Smart Queue a Post drops the post into the Hopscotch queue and, judging by its name, lets the app pick the slot, which saves you from choosing a slot for every item.

When to use it
a steady flow of content arrives from another tool and no single post needs a precise time.
Watch out
the doc does not explain how the queue orders posts, so check the result in Hopscotch after your first test rather than assuming a slot.

FAQ

Hopscotch and Make: common questions

01Is the Hopscotch Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Hopscotch 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 per run and files up to 5 MB. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes per run. Usage is counted in operations each month. This page gives no price for Hopscotch itself or for Make; the Make pricing page on our site covers the plans.
02What do you need to connect Hopscotch to Make?
A Hopscotch account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no prerequisite and no official connection steps for Hopscotch, so the generic flow applies: add a Hopscotch module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either approve Make on the Hopscotch page or paste the key Hopscotch provides, and click Save. The connection is then reused by all 6 Hopscotch modules, so you only do this once per account. If the screen you see differs, trust what Hopscotch shows you.
03Does the Hopscotch trigger react in real time?
No. Both Hopscotch triggers, Watch Published Posts and Watch Scheduled Posts, are treated as scheduled triggers: Make checks Hopscotch on the scenario's schedule instead of receiving a call the moment something happens. This type comes from the module names, because the doc gives no description. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, which is also the minimum on the Free plan. Paid plans let you go down to 1 minute. Every run uses operations, so a shorter interval can eat more of your monthly allowance.
04What if a Hopscotch module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. Make offers 6 Hopscotch modules and no Make an API Call module for this app, so you cannot reach other Hopscotch features from Make directly. Make also flags its Hopscotch documentation as limited because little public information exists. If your case falls outside the 4 actions and 2 triggers, look at whether another app in your stack can handle that step, or ask our Make agency to review the scenario with you.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Hopscotch?
It depends on your criteria, not on a winner. On the Make side, you get 6 ready modules for Hopscotch, a free plan to start and a visual editor where each module shows what it received. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether Hopscotch is covered there before you choose. Compare the modules each tool offers for your exact task, how you want to host and pay for the automation, and which editor your team will actually maintain. Our n8n vs Make comparison lists these points side by side.
