What you can automate

What can the MapFusion Make integration do for you?

The MapFusion Make integration lets Make create, edit, copy, search and delete your maps and markers for you. You build a scenario, the automation you set up in Make, out of modules: one module is one brick, like adding a marker or searching a map. Data from your other apps then lands on your maps without copying anything by hand.

A map that fills itself. A store locator team collects new locations through a form. With Add a Marker after the form module, each entry becomes a point on the shared map, and Search for Markers placed just before it stops the same place from being pinned twice.

One map per project, ready on day one. An event planner keeps a template map with the usual venues. When a new event is confirmed in the planning tool, Duplicate a Map makes a copy and Edit a Map gives it the right name, so nobody starts from a blank map.

An inventory the whole team can read. List all Markers sends every point to a spreadsheet, one row per marker, so colleagues without a MapFusion login still see where things stand. Before any big cleanup, Export an Map and markers keeps a safety copy.

Know the limits before you start. MapFusion has no trigger in Make, so a scenario starts from another app or from a schedule, and Make's own documentation for this app is limited: it lists the modules but not their fields. Test each module with Run once. The Make review covers the editor in depth, Make pricing explains how operations are counted, and n8n vs Make helps if you are still choosing a tool.

Connect

How do you connect MapFusion to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a MapFusion module

    In your scenario, click the +, type MapFusion and pick any module, for instance Verify the API-Key. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your MapFusion account linked to Make once and reused by every MapFusion module.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a name if you like, such as the account or client it belongs to. Then follow what MapFusion asks: either approve Make on MapFusion's own page, or paste the key MapFusion gives you into the field Make shows.

  3. 03

    Save and check

    Click Save. The connection now appears in the module. A quick way to confirm it works is to run Verify the API-Key alone with Run once and read what comes back before building the rest.

First scenario

Your first scenario: pin every new location on a map

GoalWhen a new location arrives in another app, Make adds it as a marker on your MapFusion map.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Since MapFusion has no trigger, the first module comes from the app where locations arrive, like your form tool.

  2. 02

    Add Add a Marker

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search MapFusion and choose Add a Marker. Select your connection, or create it now with Create a connection.

  3. 03

    Map the location data

    Fill the module's fields with data from the first module: click a field and pick the values it received. Each bundle, one item passing from one module to the next, becomes one marker.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then add a test entry in your first app. Open the bubbles to read the bundles each module received, and check the new marker in MapFusion.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module with the clock icon. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on so it keeps running without you.

Modules

What each MapFusion module does

MapFusion gives you 19 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

MapFusion1

Add a Map

ActionIn the docs only

Add a Map gives you a brand-new MapFusion map created from inside your scenario, so a new project or client gets its own map without anyone opening MapFusion.

When to use it
a deal is marked as won in your CRM and the field team needs a fresh map to plan visits.
Watch out
every run creates one more map, so test with Run once before switching the scenario on.
MapFusion2

Add a Marker

ActionIn the docs only

With Add a Marker, a new point appears on one of your maps, which turns a list of places into something the team can actually look at.

When to use it
a form collects a new store, venue or drop-off point and it should land on the shared map right away.
Watch out
put Search for Markers before it when the same place might come in twice, or you end up with duplicate pins.
MapFusion3

Delete a Map

ActionIn the docs only

Delete a Map clears a whole map out of your MapFusion account, which keeps the workspace readable once a project is over.

When to use it
a project gets archived in your project tool and its map has no reason to stay around.
Watch out
a deletion does not come back, so place Export an Map and markers before it whenever the content might matter later.
MapFusion4

Delete a Marker

ActionIn the docs only

You get a map that only shows what still exists: Delete a Marker takes one point off and leaves the others where they are.

When to use it
a shop closes or a supplier leaves, and its row disappears from the spreadsheet you use as a reference.
Watch out
there is no undo; feed it the marker found by Search for Markers so it removes the right one and not a lookalike.
MapFusion5

Duplicate a Map

ActionIn the docs only

Duplicate a Map hands you a copy of an existing map, a practical starting point when your projects look alike.

When to use it
you keep a template map with your usual points and want a separate copy for each new client or event.
Watch out
follow it with Edit a Map to rename the copy, or the maps quickly become hard to tell apart in MapFusion.
MapFusion6

Duplicate a Marker

ActionIn the docs only

Need a second point that looks a lot like an existing one? Duplicate a Marker creates it for you, so shared details are not typed twice.

When to use it
a partner opens another location and most of what the first marker says still applies.
Watch out
chain Edit a Marker right after to change what differs, otherwise the map shows two identical entries.
MapFusion7

Edit a Map

ActionIn the docs only

Edit a Map updates a map you already have, so the team keeps working on one map instead of a trail of versions.

When to use it
a project changes name or scope in your project tool and the map should follow without anyone touching it.
Watch out
find the right map first with Search for Maps or List all Maps, since editing the wrong one overwrites its current state.
MapFusion8

Edit a Marker

ActionIn the docs only

Your map follows your data instead of drifting away from it: Edit a Marker keeps an existing point up to date.

When to use it
a customer moves or a venue changes its details in your CRM, and the pin should reflect that change.
Watch out
send it the marker returned by Search for Markers, because guessing on a crowded map changes the wrong point.
MapFusion9

Export an Map and markers

ActionIn the docs only

Export an Map and markers pulls a map out of MapFusion together with its markers, which gives you a copy to keep or reuse elsewhere.

When to use it
just before you delete or heavily rework a map, as a safety copy.
Watch out
Make's documentation does not say which format comes out, so run it once and read the bundle before mapping it into the next module.
MapFusion10

Get Map Details

ActionIn the docs only

Get Map Details fetches what MapFusion returns about one map, so later modules can reuse that information without you copying it over.

When to use it
you already know which map you want and need its details in an email, a report or a follow-up step.
Watch out
it reads a single map; to go through many, List all Maps or Search for Maps fits better.
MapFusion11

Get Marker Details

ActionIn the docs only

This module reads one specific point and passes its information down the scenario, ready to drop into a message or a sheet.

When to use it
a support request mentions a location and your team wants that marker's details inside the ticket.
Watch out
the documentation lists no fields, so check with Run once what the bundle really contains before mapping anything.
MapFusion12

Import all Maps And Markers

ActionIn the docs only

Import all Maps And Markers brings maps and their markers into MapFusion in one move, instead of rebuilding them point by point.

When to use it
you restore what an earlier export saved, or you move your maps to another MapFusion account.
Watch out
no expected format is documented, so start with a small test through Run once and look at the result in MapFusion before a full import.
MapFusion13

List all Maps

SearchIn the docs only

List all Maps returns every map in your account, one bundle per map, which is the simplest way to go through them one by one.

When to use it
you want an inventory of your maps in a spreadsheet, or the same change applied to each of them.
Watch out
each map that comes out runs the following modules once, and each of those runs is an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.
MapFusion14

List all Markers

SearchIn the docs only

List all Markers sends out your markers as separate bundles, which lets you copy the contents of your maps into another tool.

When to use it
a colleague without MapFusion needs a sheet that mirrors your markers.
Watch out
every bundle runs the next modules and costs operations, so on a busy account prefer Search for Markers when you only need a few points.
MapFusion15

Reset the API-Key

ActionIn the docs only

Reset the API-Key asks MapFusion for a fresh API key, useful when the current one may have leaked or when a teammate with access leaves.

When to use it
in a scenario you start on purpose for a security check, never in one that runs on its own.
Watch out
the documentation does not say what happens to the old key or to your connection, so run Verify the API-Key right after.
MapFusion16

Search for Maps

SearchIn the docs only

Search for Maps finds the maps that match your criteria and returns zero, one or several bundles, one per map found.

When to use it
another app tells you which project is concerned and you need the matching map before editing or deleting it.
Watch out
plan for the empty case, because when nothing matches, the next module has no map to work on.
MapFusion17

Search for Markers

SearchIn the docs only

Search for Markers tells you whether a point already exists by handing back the matches: none, one or several.

When to use it
just before Add a Marker, so a place sent twice by a form does not get pinned twice.
Watch out
several matches mean the next module runs once per match; read the bundles after Run once before you let it edit or delete anything.
MapFusion18

Validate the License-Key

ActionIn the docs only

Validate the License-Key checks a MapFusion license key from inside Make, so the scenario knows whether the key holds before going further.

When to use it
a license key reaches you through a form or an email and you want it checked before anything else happens.
Watch out
the answer it returns is not documented, so read it with Run once before you build a decision on it.
MapFusion19

Verify the API-Key

ActionIn the docs only

Verify the API-Key tests a MapFusion API key, the quickest way to know whether Make can still talk to your account.

When to use it
right after Reset the API-Key, or when other MapFusion modules start failing and you want to rule out the key.
Watch out
it checks the key, not your content, so a passing test does not prove that a given map or marker exists.

FAQ

Questions people ask next

01Is the MapFusion Make integration free?
Yes, MapFusion is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan. The Free plan has its limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes per run at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute, allow unlimited active scenarios and count usage in credits each month. Your MapFusion subscription is a separate matter that Make does not cover.
02What do you need to connect MapFusion to Make?
A MapFusion account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for this app. You add a MapFusion module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either approve Make on MapFusion's page or paste the key MapFusion gives you, and click Save. The connection is then reused by every MapFusion module. Since the documentation is marked as limited, run Verify the API-Key once to confirm everything is linked before building the rest of the scenario.
03Does the MapFusion Make integration react in real time?
No, not on its own, because MapFusion has no trigger in Make: none of its 19 modules can start a scenario. You have two ways to start one anyway. Open the scenario with a trigger from another app, such as the form or CRM where the data first appears. Or set a schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, and let a module like List all Maps start the run. Whether the start is instant then depends on the other app's trigger.
04What if the MapFusion module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what is missing. MapFusion has no Make an API Call module in Make, so there is no generic way to reach a feature outside the 19 existing modules. Make also flags its documentation for this app as limited, which means fields and formats are not described: test each module with Run once and read the bundles. If a feature is really absent, look for another app that covers it, or ask the team to review your case.
05Should you use Make or n8n for MapFusion?
It depends on the tool your team already uses and on the modules you need. In Make, MapFusion comes with 19 modules, all actions and searches, and no trigger, so every scenario starts from another app or a schedule. n8n often has a node for the same apps, but this page does not confirm one for MapFusion: check its list of nodes before deciding. Compare the actions each tool offers for your exact case, not the reputation of the tool.
