What you can automate

What can the Instamojo Make integration do for you?

The Instamojo Make integration links your Instamojo account to Make so payments start work in your other tools. You build a scenario, the automation made of modules, and Make watches for new successful or failed payments, creates payment requests, and looks payments up, with no code.

Recover a failed checkout. Watch New Failed Payment spots the failure, and Create a Payment Request prepares a fresh request you can send back to the buyer instead of losing the sale.

Feed your bookkeeping. Watch New Successful Payment hands each paid order to the next module, so a spreadsheet, a CRM or an invoicing app records it without anyone retyping the amount.

Answer a customer question. Search Payments and Get a Payment pull the payment behind a support ticket, which saves a trip to the Instamojo dashboard.

Know the limits before you start. Both triggers here are scheduled, so Make checks Instamojo on the scenario's schedule rather than the moment money moves. Make also states that its own documentation for Instamojo is limited. Test each module with Run once. When a listed module falls short, Make an API Call reaches other endpoints with the same connection. The Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted. Instamojo often has an n8n node too; n8n vs Make compares both tools.

Connect

How do you connect Instamojo to Make?

  1. 01

    Add an Instamojo module

    In a new scenario, click the +, type Instamojo, pick any of its modules, then click Create a connection. A connection is your Instamojo account linked to Make once and reused by every Instamojo module.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving it a name is optional but useful. Something like the shop or the account owner makes the right connection easy to spot later, especially when a team runs several Instamojo accounts.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what Make asks: approve access on the Instamojo page that opens, or paste the key Instamojo gives you. Then click Save, and the module can read your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario: turn a failed payment into a new request

GoalWhen a payment fails in Instamojo, Make creates a new payment request for the buyer.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

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

  2. 02

    Add the failed payment trigger

    Search Instamojo, choose Watch New Failed Payment and select your connection, or click Create a connection if you have not linked the account yet.

  3. 03

    Add the payment request

    Click the + to the right of the trigger, pick Create a Payment Request, and map the buyer details that came from the failed payment into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Each bundle, one payment passing from module to module, shows up in the bubbles, so you can check what Instamojo sent before going live.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module, keep the default of every 15 minutes or pick another interval your plan allows, then switch the scenario on.

Triggers

What starts an Instamojo scenario?

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

Instamojo1Watch New Failed Payment

Watch New Failed Payment

Scheduled trigger

In MakeTriggers when a payment failed.

Catch the payments that did not go through, so a missed sale becomes a follow-up instead of a silent loss. Each failed payment arrives in the scenario as its own bundle.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks Instamojo on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario, and passes on the failed payments it finds.
When to use it
you want a new payment request, a reminder email or a sales alert to follow a declined checkout.
Watch out
it is not instant, so a buyer may already have retried by the time the scenario runs.
Instamojo2Watch New Successful Payment

Watch New Successful Payment

Scheduled trigger

In MakeTriggers when a new successful payment is received.

Get every completed payment handed to the rest of your stack, ready to be logged, thanked or fulfilled. The paid order becomes a bundle the next module can map.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks Instamojo on the scenario's schedule and sends each new successful payment it finds to the next module.
When to use it
a sale should add a row in your sales sheet, open a deal in your CRM or start an order in your fulfilment tool.
Watch out
on the Free plan the shortest interval is 15 minutes, so plan for that delay in customer messages.
Modules

What can Make do in Instamojo?

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

Instamojo1

Create a Payment Request

Action

In MakeCreates a payment request.

This module produces a new payment request in Instamojo, so a scenario can ask a customer for money without you opening the dashboard.

When to use it
a quote gets approved in your CRM, or a failed payment needs a second chance.
Watch out
every run creates another request, so test with Run once before switching on and avoid sending duplicates.
Instamojo2

Get a Payment

Action

In MakeGets a payment.

Pull the full record of one payment you already know, and the next modules can use its details in a message or a sheet.

When to use it
a support ticket or an order carries a payment reference and you need that exact payment, not a list.
Watch out
it reads a single payment; to find payments by criteria, choose Search Payments instead.
Instamojo3

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Reach any Instamojo API endpoint from your scenario, using the connection you already created, when the listed modules do not cover your need.

When to use it
you need an Instamojo feature that has no dedicated module in Make.
Watch out
you write the request yourself from the Instamojo API documentation, so this is the most technical module of the app.
Instamojo4

Search Payments

Search

In MakeSearches for payments that match the specified criteria.

Find the payments that match your criteria and send them one by one down the scenario, which makes batch checks and reports possible.

When to use it
you want every payment tied to a customer, or a list to reconcile against your accounting.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many bundles, and each bundle costs operations in the modules that follow.

FAQ

Instamojo and Make: common questions

01Is the Instamojo Make integration free?
Yes, Instamojo is a standard app in Make, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between 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) lower the minimum interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations, one execution of one module on one bundle.
02What do you need to connect Instamojo to Make?
An Instamojo account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no special prerequisite for this app. You add an Instamojo module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the Instamojo page or paste the key Instamojo provides, and click Save. The same connection then serves every Instamojo module in your scenarios, including Make an API Call. Because it is saved once, your next scenarios only ask you to pick it from the list instead of authorizing again.
03Do the Instamojo triggers in Make run in real time?
No. Watch New Failed Payment and Watch New Successful Payment are both scheduled triggers. Make checks Instamojo on the schedule set on the first module, every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario. The Free plan cannot go below 15 minutes; paid plans can go down to 1 minute. A payment therefore reaches your scenario at the next check, not the second it happens, which matters for anything customer-facing.
04What if an Instamojo module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Instamojo API with the connection you already have, so a feature without a dedicated module is still reachable. Keep in mind that Make describes its Instamojo documentation as limited, because little public information about the app exists. Test each module and each API call with Run once and read the bundles before you rely on a scenario in production.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Instamojo?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. Make offers 6 Instamojo modules: 2 scheduled payment triggers, 3 actions and 1 search, plus Make an API Call for the rest. Instamojo often has an n8n node as well. Compare the modules each tool lists for Instamojo against the payment events you need, then build a small test scenario in the one that covers them. The n8n vs Make comparison on this site goes through both tools in detail.
