What you can automate

What can the Lumin Make integration do for you?

The Lumin Make integration lets Make react to your signature requests and push files into Lumin, with no code. A scenario (the automation you build in Make) starts the moment Lumin reports an event, such as a request that every signer has approved, then passes the details to the next step.

Close the deal record once the last signature lands. Watch Fully Approved Signature Request fires when all signers are done, so a sales team can update its CRM or tell the account manager without checking Lumin by hand.

Follow up on refusals right away. Watch Declined Signature Request and Watch Cancelled Signature Request flag the requests that will not close. A legal or HR team can route them to whoever owns the document and fix the wording before sending it again.

Feed Lumin with the files that arrive elsewhere. Upload a Document places a file into Lumin from another app of the scenario, for example a quote generated by a form tool, so it is ready to be sent for signature.

Know the limits before you build. Make's own documentation for Lumin is limited, because little public information exists about the app, so field details are thin. When a listed module falls short, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Lumin API with the same connection. If you are also looking at n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison sets the two side by side, the Make pricing page explains plans, and the Make training covers scenario building from scratch.

Connect

How do you connect Lumin to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Lumin module

    In a scenario, add any Lumin module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your Lumin account linked to Make once, and every Lumin module of your scenarios reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize

    Give the connection a name if you manage several Lumin accounts. Then follow what Lumin asks: either authorize Make on the Lumin page that opens, or paste the key Lumin gives you.

  3. 03

    Save and check the module

    Click Save. The Lumin module now shows your account, and you can fill its settings. The same connection then appears in every other Lumin module you add later.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Lumin

GoalWhen a new quote file lands in your cloud storage, Make uploads it to Lumin so it is ready for signature.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. That first module decides when the whole scenario starts.

  2. 02

    Start from your storage app

    Pick the trigger of the app where your quotes are saved, such as a module that watches a folder, and connect that account. Lumin comes in at the next step.

  3. 03

    Add Upload a Document

    Click the + on the right, search for Lumin, choose Upload a Document and click Create a connection. Then map the file sent by the first module into it.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once after dropping a test file in the folder. Each module shows the bundle it received, one item passed from a module to the next, so you can check the file reached Lumin.

  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 new quote now ends up in Lumin without a manual upload.

Triggers

Lumin triggers in Make

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

Lumin1Watch Cancelled Signature Request

Watch Cancelled Signature Request

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when owner cancels the document.

You learn the moment the owner of a document calls off its signature request, so nobody keeps waiting on a contract that was withdrawn. The scenario receives the cancelled request and can tell the people involved.

How it fires
instant, Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the owner cancels.
When to use it
a sales rep pulls a quote to change the price, and the deal record should drop back to draft.
Watch out
a cancel comes from the sender, not from a signer, so pair it with the declined trigger if you want every request that will not close.
Lumin2Watch Declined Signature Request

Watch Declined Signature Request

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a signer declines the document.

This trigger tells you when a signer refuses to sign, which is usually the signal that someone needs to pick up the phone. Your scenario gets the declined request and can route it to the right owner.

How it fires
instant, Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the signer declines.
When to use it
an HR team sends an offer letter and wants the recruiter alerted the minute a candidate turns it down.
Watch out
the refusal comes from a signer; the sender calling off a request is covered by Watch Cancelled Signature Request instead.
Lumin3Watch Fully Approved Signature Request

Watch Fully Approved Signature Request

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when document has been signed by all signers.

This trigger waits until every signer has signed, so your next step always runs on a finished document. The scenario receives the completed request, ready to be logged or shared.

How it fires
instant, Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the last signature is in.
When to use it
a lease needs three signatures, and the property manager should hear about it only once all three are done.
Watch out
it stays silent while signatures are partial, so use Watch Signer Viewed Signature Request if you need progress along the way.
Lumin4Watch New Signature Request

Watch New Signature Request

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a new signature request is created.

Every new signature request becomes a record you can keep, without anyone copying it by hand. The scenario starts as soon as a request is created in Lumin and hands its details to the next module.

How it fires
instant, Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the request exists.
When to use it
a legal team wants a shared log of every contract that goes out for signature, kept in one place.
Watch out
a created request is not a signed one, so avoid triggering billing or onboarding from this module; wait for the fully approved trigger.
Lumin5Watch Signer Viewed Signature Request

Watch Signer Viewed Signature Request

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a signer opens the document.

You see when a signer actually opens the document, which turns silence into a useful signal for timing a follow-up. The scenario starts with the request that was just viewed.

How it fires
instant, Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the signer opens the document.
When to use it
a freelancer sends a proposal and wants a message in the team chat when the client opens it, to call while it is fresh.
Watch out
a view is not a signature; if you need the finished document, use Watch Fully Approved Signature Request instead.
Modules

Lumin actions in Make

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

Lumin1

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

This module reaches any part of the Lumin API that the other modules leave out, using the connection you already created. It is your way around the short module list.

When to use it
you need a Lumin feature that none of the listed modules covers and you know which API endpoint handles it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, and Make's own Lumin documentation is limited, so it will not guide you through the endpoints.
Lumin2

Upload a Document

Action

In MakeUploads a file to Lumin.

Upload a Document puts a file into Lumin from an earlier step of the scenario, so it is there when you need to send it for signature. The file usually comes from another app, like a form tool or cloud storage.

When to use it
quotes are generated elsewhere and your team signs them in Lumin.
Watch out
on Make's Free plan, files are limited to 5 MB, so large scanned contracts may need a paid plan.

FAQ

Lumin and Make: common questions

01Is the Lumin Make integration free?
Yes, Lumin is a standard app in Make, so you can use it on the Free plan. That plan has limits: 2 active scenarios, 5 minutes of execution at most per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Every module run counts as an operation on your plan. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lift those limits, with unlimited active scenarios and runs of up to 40 minutes. Your Lumin subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect Lumin to Make?
You need a Lumin account and a Make account. Make's documentation for Lumin lists no specific prerequisite, so the generic steps apply: add a Lumin module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the Lumin page or paste the key Lumin gives you, and click Save. The connection is created once and reused by every Lumin module. Sign in to the Lumin account that sends your signature requests before you start.
03Do Lumin triggers in Make fire in real time?
Yes. All 5 Lumin triggers are instant: Lumin calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, whether a request is created, viewed, declined, cancelled or fully approved. Your scenario therefore does not wait for the default schedule of every 15 minutes that applies to scheduled triggers. Each event starts one run, and each module in that run counts as an operation. Test the flow with Run once before you switch the scenario on.
04What if the Lumin module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. This module calls any endpoint of the Lumin API with the connection you already have, so it covers what the 7 listed modules do not. You write the request yourself, endpoint and parameters included. Keep in mind that Make's own documentation for Lumin is limited because little public information exists about the app. If a need still falls outside the API, handle that step with another app in the same scenario.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Lumin?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Lumin offers 5 instant triggers on signature requests, an upload action and Make an API Call, and it works from the Free plan. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check its node list against your use case before choosing. Compare the triggers you need, the connection method and the plan limits on each side, then pick the one where the whole scenario fits.
