HttpStatus Make integrationAutomate HttpStatus with Make.

Need to know whether a page still answers, without opening a browser? The HttpStatus Make integration gives you 2 action modules and no trigger. This guide is for people new to Make: it links your account, builds a first scenario and explains when each module fits.

What you can automate

What does the HttpStatus Make integration let you automate?

The HttpStatus Make integration plugs HttpStatus into a scenario, the automation you build in Make as a chain of modules. A module is one brick of that chain. HttpStatus brings two of them, both actions: Get a HTTP Status and Make an API Call. Going by its name, the first one fetches the HTTP status a server returns, the short code that tells you whether a page loaded, moved or broke.

Picture three typical setups. An agency keeps its client sites in a spreadsheet: a spreadsheet module reads the rows, and Get a HTTP Status checks each site, so a broken homepage shows up in the scenario history instead of in an angry email. A content team that just published a batch of articles can pass the new addresses to the same module and spot the ones that do not answer. A developer who depends on a partner service can use Make an API Call to reach an HttpStatus endpoint the listed module does not cover.

Know the limits before you start. HttpStatus has no trigger, so something else has to start the scenario: a trigger from another app, or the schedule you set on the first module. Make also flags this app as having limited documentation, which means field names and outputs are best learned by running the module once and reading what comes back.

If you are still weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted. When a scenario misbehaves, Make troubleshooting covers the usual errors.

Connect

How do you connect HttpStatus to Make?

  1. 01

    Add an HttpStatus module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for HttpStatus and pick Get a HTTP Status. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your HttpStatus access linked to Make once, and every HttpStatus module reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Make offers a name field for the connection. It is optional, but a clear label helps the day you run several connections or share scenarios with a teammate who needs to know which account is behind each one.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what the window asks: either approve Make on the HttpStatus page, or paste the key HttpStatus gives you. Click Save. The connection now appears in the module, ready for Make an API Call too.

First scenario

Your first scenario with HttpStatus

GoalWhen another app hands Make a list of client sites, Make checks each one with Get a HTTP Status.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the editor to place your first module.

  2. 02

    Start from your list

    HttpStatus cannot start a scenario, so the first module comes from the app that holds your sites, such as a spreadsheet. Each row it reads becomes a bundle, one item passed to the next module.

  3. 03

    Add Get a HTTP Status

    Click the + on the right of the first module, pick HttpStatus, then Get a HTTP Status. Link your connection and map the site from the previous module into the module fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time; click the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and the status that came back.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the clock on the first module (a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Each site checked by Get a HTTP Status counts as one operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What the HttpStatus modules do

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

HttpStatus1

Get a HTTP Status

ActionIn the docs only

This module gives you the answer a server sends back, going by its name: the HTTP status, so you can tell at a glance whether a page is up, redirected or failing. It is the reason most people add HttpStatus to a scenario.

When to use it
after a module that lists your sites or fresh URLs, to check every item without opening a browser.
Watch out
the documentation is limited, so run it once and read the output before you build filters on it.
HttpStatus2

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

With this module you reach any endpoint of the HttpStatus API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created. It fills the gap whenever Get a HTTP Status does not return what you need.

When to use it
when HttpStatus offers a function through its API that no listed module covers.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the HttpStatus API reference open while you set it up.

FAQ

HttpStatus and Make: common questions

01Is the HttpStatus Make integration free?
Yes, HttpStatus is a standard app, so it works on the Make Free plan. That plan has limits you will feel quickly: 2 active scenarios, at least 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) bring the interval down to 1 minute and allow unlimited active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations each month, and every site you check through Get a HTTP Status uses one.
02What do you need to connect HttpStatus to Make?
You need access to HttpStatus and a Make account. Make's documentation for this app lists no prerequisite and no dedicated connection steps, so the generic flow applies: add a module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the HttpStatus page or paste the key HttpStatus provides, and click Save. Because the documentation is flagged as limited, keep your HttpStatus account settings at hand in case the window asks for a value.
03Does the HttpStatus Make integration react in real time?
No, because HttpStatus has no trigger at all. Its two modules are actions, so something else has to start the scenario. You have two ways to do that. You can set a schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, or every minute on a paid plan. Or you can start from an instant trigger of another app, which calls Make through a webhook as soon as something happens there, and then run Get a HTTP Status right after it.
04What if the HttpStatus module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It lets you reach any endpoint of the HttpStatus API from the scenario with the same connection, so a function without its own module is still within reach. The catch is that you build the request yourself. Make also says its HttpStatus documentation is limited, so plan on testing with Run once and reading the bundles returned before you rely on the result in later modules.
05Should you use Make or n8n for HttpStatus?
It depends on where your other automations already live. In Make, HttpStatus offers Get a HTTP Status plus Make an API Call, both on one connection, and it runs on the Free plan within its limits. n8n often has a node for the same apps, so check whether HttpStatus is covered there before you decide. Neither tool is better by default: pick the one that already holds the data you want to check, so the whole flow stays in a single place.
