What you can automate

What does the Mallabe Currencies Make integration do?

The Mallabe Currencies Make integration lets a Make scenario (the automation you build, a chain of steps) convert amounts and fetch exchange rates through Mallabe, then pass the result to your other tools. Each step is a module, and Make lists 5 of them for this app, with no code involved.

Prices shown in the buyer's currency. An online store that receives an order total in euros can send it to Convert Currency and write the converted figure next to the original, so the sales team reads one number instead of doing the math.

A rates table that stays current. A finance assistant can call Get Daily Rates and drop the list into a spreadsheet, or let Watch New Rates List start the scenario when Make detects a new list on its next check.

A trail of past conversions. Watch New Currency Converted is, going by its name, the trigger to pick up conversions as they appear, for instance to log them in an accounting tool.

Know the limits before you start. Make's own documentation for Mallabe Currencies is marked as limited: it lists the modules but describes neither their fields nor their behavior, so plan a test run before trusting a result. When a module falls short, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API. If you are weighing platforms, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, and Make training covers the editor from zero. Stuck on a failed run? Make troubleshooting lists the usual fixes.

Connect

How do you connect Mallabe Currencies to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Mallabe Currencies module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for Mallabe Currencies and pick any of its modules. Make then asks for a connection, meaning your Mallabe account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app. Click Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This step is optional, yet a clear name such as "Mallabe finance" helps later when a scenario lists several accounts and you need to pick the right one fast.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what the window asks, either approve access on Mallabe's page or paste the key Mallabe gives you. Then click Save. The connection now appears in the module, ready for the next ones.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Mallabe Currencies

GoalWhen a new amount lands in another app, Make converts it with Mallabe Currencies and hands the result to the next step.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Start with the module of the app where your amounts arrive: a form, a store or a spreadsheet.

  2. 02

    Add Convert Currency

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Mallabe Currencies and choose Convert Currency. Pick your connection, or create it as shown above.

  3. 03

    Map the amount

    Fill the fields Make displays for the module. Instead of typing a value, click a field and choose the data coming from the first module, so each new amount flows in by itself.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles, the items each module received and sent. Check that the converted figure looks right before going further.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Click the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default. Then turn the scenario on. From here, every new amount gets converted without you touching it.

Triggers

What can start a Mallabe Currencies scenario?

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

Mallabe Currencies1Watch New Currency Converted

Watch New Currency Converted

triggerIn the docs only

This trigger gives you a scenario that starts from conversions already made through Mallabe, so each one can travel to another tool without copy and paste. Make's documentation lists it without a description, so its exact output is something to confirm on your first test.

How it fires
scheduled, as its type is listed: Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan.
When to use it
when an accountant wants every conversion recorded in a ledger or a shared sheet.
Watch out
the type was inferred from the module's name, so click Run once and read the bundles before building on it.
Mallabe Currencies2Watch New Rates List

Watch New Rates List

triggerIn the docs only

Pick this trigger and your scenario starts when Make, on its next scheduled check, finds a new list of exchange rates from Mallabe, which saves you from checking rates manually. The documentation stops at the module's name, so treat what it returns as something to verify with a test.

How it fires
scheduled: Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan, 1 minute on paid plans.
When to use it
when a pricing sheet must follow the latest rates without anyone refreshing it.
Watch out
every bundle it passes on counts as an operation on your plan, so keep the flow lean before switching it on.
Modules

What can Mallabe Currencies do in a scenario?

Mallabe Currencies gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Mallabe Currencies1

Convert Currency

ActionIn the docs only

Turns an amount from one currency into another inside the scenario, so the next module receives a ready figure instead of a raw one.

When to use it
when an order, a quote or an expense arrives in a foreign currency and your report needs one single currency.
Watch out
the documentation does not describe its fields, so map them from the previous module and check the output with Run once.
Mallabe Currencies2

Get Daily Rates

ActionIn the docs only

Going by its name, it fetches the exchange rates of the day on demand, handy when one scenario needs several conversions and you would rather read the rates once.

When to use it
choose it over Convert Currency when you want the rates themselves, for example to fill a reference table in a spreadsheet.
Watch out
unlike Watch New Rates List, it only runs when the scenario reaches it, so it needs a trigger in front.
Mallabe Currencies3

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Opens the whole Mallabe Currencies API to your scenario through the same connection, which covers anything the four other modules leave out.

When to use it
when you need an endpoint of the API that no listed module exposes.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep Mallabe's API reference at hand, since Make's page for this app gives no details.

FAQ

Questions about Mallabe Currencies and Make

01Is the Mallabe Currencies Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Mallabe Currencies is a standard app, available from the Free plan like the 3,000+ standard apps. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a check every 15 minutes at the shortest, 5 minutes of run time per execution, 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, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of run time. Usage is counted in operations, meaning one module handling one item. Mallabe's own pricing is outside what this page covers.
02What do you need to connect Mallabe Currencies to Make?
A Mallabe account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no other prerequisite for this app. The connection follows the usual Make steps: add a Mallabe Currencies module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, then approve access on Mallabe's page or paste the key Mallabe provides, and click Save. Every module of the app then reuses that same connection, so you only do this once per account. Since the documentation is marked as limited, keep Mallabe's account settings open in case the window asks for a key.
03Do the Mallabe Currencies triggers fire instantly?
No. Both triggers, Watch New Currency Converted and Watch New Rates List, are listed as scheduled. Make checks Mallabe on the scenario's schedule rather than being called the moment something changes. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, which is also the shortest interval on the Free plan; paid plans go down to 1 minute. If you need an instant start, trigger the scenario from another app that calls Make through a webhook, then use Convert Currency or Get Daily Rates as the following step.
04What if a Mallabe Currencies module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. This module reaches any endpoint of the Mallabe Currencies API from your scenario, with the connection you already set up, so it covers what the 4 other modules do not. You will need Mallabe's API reference to write the request, because Make's documentation for this app is limited and describes neither fields nor behavior. Test each call with Run once and read the bundle it returns. If the API itself lacks the feature, another app of the Make catalog may cover the need.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Mallabe Currencies?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. On Make, Mallabe Currencies offers 5 modules, 2 scheduled triggers and 3 actions, and Make an API Call covers the gaps with the same connection. The same app often has an n8n node as well, but the Make documentation does not say whether Mallabe Currencies does, so check the n8n catalog first. Compare the modules each side offers for your use case, then pick the platform where the rest of your automations already live. The comparison page linked above lays out the criteria.
