What you can automate

What can the Linkly Make integration do for you?

The Linkly Make integration links your Linkly workspace to the rest of your stack. Make runs a scenario, which is the automation you build as a chain of modules, and each module is one brick: something that starts the flow or an action. With Linkly, a click can start that chain, and your links can be created, edited or removed without opening Linkly.

Know who clicked, right away. Watch link click details fires the moment someone opens a specific link. Send the click details to your CRM or to a team chat, and your sales rep sees interest while it is still warm.

Links that appear on their own. When a new event, product or campaign is added in another app, Create a Link builds the matching smart link in your workspace. Update a Link changes the target when a page moves, so a printed flyer never points to a dead URL.

A clean workspace. Delete a Link removes links tied to a campaign you closed in your project tool, and Watch workspace link click details gives one feed of clicks across all your links.

What the listed modules do not cover, Make an API Call can reach with the same connection. The Make documentation for Linkly is short and marked as AI-generated, so check anything critical with Linkly itself.

Connect

How do you connect Linkly to Make?

  1. 01

    Get your Linkly API key

    You need an active Linkly account and an API key. Open your Linkly account and copy the key before you start, so you are not switching tabs halfway through the setup in Make.

  2. 02

    Add a Linkly module

    In your scenario, add any Linkly module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Linkly account linked to Make once, then reused by every Linkly module. You can give it a clear name if you manage several workspaces.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key Linkly gave you into the field, then click Save. The connection shows up in the module, and Make can then list the Linkly items it is able to read.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Linkly

GoalWhen a new event is added in your event tool, Make creates its registration link in Linkly.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to add the first module. Pick the event app your team already uses and its module that spots new events.

  2. 02

    Connect that app

    Click Create a connection to link the event app, then choose the calendar or list Make should read. Once connected, Make shows what it can reach.

  3. 03

    Add Create a Link

    Click the + on the right of that module, search for Linkly and choose Create a Link. Create the Linkly connection with your API key, then map the event page URL and its name from the first module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once with one test event. Each module shows the bundle it received, a bundle being one item passed along the chain, here one event and its new link.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    On the first module, set the schedule, which is every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. Every module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Triggers

What starts a Linkly scenario

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

Linkly1Watch link click details

Watch link click details

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a specific link is clicked.”

You get the details of each click on one chosen link, handed to Make the moment it happens, so your follow up starts without anyone checking a dashboard.

How it fires
instant, Linkly calls Make through a webhook as soon as the link is clicked. That is the lightning badge on the module.
When to use it
a single link matters, like the booking link in a sales email, and you want the rep alerted.
Watch out
it follows one link only; for every link of the workspace, use the other trigger.
Linkly2Watch workspace link click details

Watch workspace link click details

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a link within workspace is clicked.”

This one gives you a single stream of clicks across all the links of a workspace, which spares you one scenario per link and keeps your reporting in one place.

How it fires
instant, Linkly notifies Make by webhook as soon as any link in the workspace is clicked.
When to use it
you want every click logged in a sheet or a warehouse table, whatever the campaign.
Watch out
busy workspaces send many bundles, and each module run counts as an operation on your plan.
Modules

What Linkly can do in a scenario

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

Linkly3

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Reach any endpoint of the Linkly API from your scenario, with the same connection, when none of the ready made modules does the job you need.

When to use it
you need a Linkly feature that the other three actions do not cover.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Linkly API documentation open beside the editor.

FAQ

Linkly and Make: common questions

01Is the Linkly Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Linkly is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan lets you keep 2 active scenarios, with at least 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans go down to a 1 minute interval and remove the cap on active scenarios. You still need an active Linkly account, whose own pricing is set by Linkly.
02What do you need to connect Linkly to Make?
An active Linkly account and its API key. In Make, add any Linkly module, click Create a connection, paste the key and save. The connection is then reused by every Linkly module in your scenarios, so you only do this once per account. If the key is refused, check that your Linkly subscription is active and that the key was copied in full. Name the connection after the workspace if you run more than one, so you always pick the right account in a new module.
03Do the Linkly triggers in Make react in real time?
Yes. Both Linkly triggers are instant: Linkly calls Make through a webhook as soon as a link is clicked, instead of Make checking on a schedule. Watch link click details follows one link, while Watch workspace link click details covers every link in a workspace. Each click arrives as its own bundle, and each module that processes it counts as one operation on your plan. Pick the first when a single link deserves attention, and the second when you want the full picture.
04What if a Linkly module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends a request to any endpoint of the Linkly API with the connection you already set up, so you are not limited to the three link actions and two triggers. Keep in mind that the Make documentation for Linkly is marked as AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with Linkly directly. The endpoints and their options are described in the Linkly API documentation, not in Make.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Linkly?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. On Make, Linkly comes with 6 ready made modules, including 2 instant click triggers, and Make an API Call for the rest. The same app often has an n8n node too. Compare what each tool offers for the exact Linkly actions you need, then pick the one where your other scenarios already live. If you are still deciding, the comparison page linked above sets both side by side.
