Meetup Pro Make integrationAutomate Meetup Pro with Make.

Your Meetup Pro network can feed the rest of your tools without anyone copying RSVPs by hand. The Meetup Pro Make integration gives you 27 modules: 3 scheduled triggers, 9 actions and 15 searches. This guide is for organizers who know Meetup and are new to Make, and it walks you from the connection to a first working scenario.

What you can automate

What can the Meetup Pro Make integration do for your events?

The Meetup Pro Make integration links your Meetup Pro account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick that watches, acts or searches. Once connected, Make can spot new RSVPs, events and comments, then pass them to your other apps without code.

A guest list that fills itself. Watch New RSVP picks up each new reply to your event, Get an Event adds the date and title, and a module from another app writes the attendee into your sheet or CRM. Nobody exports a list the night before.

Comments that reach the right person. Watch New Event Comments notices a new question under an event and forwards it to your team chat, so a host answers before the thread goes cold.

Network reporting in one place. For a Pro network, List Pro Group Statistics and List Pro Members return the numbers and people behind each chapter, ready to land in a dashboard.

One thing to know before you build: Make's documentation marks every Meetup Pro module as Deprecated except Execute a GraphQL Query, and the app has no generic Make an API Call module. Test each module with Run once before you rely on it, and keep the GraphQL module in mind as the one without that label. If a scenario misbehaves, the Make troubleshooting guide is the place to start.

Meetup may also exist as a node in n8n; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out how the two tools differ. To learn the editor properly, see the Make training.

Connect

How do you connect Meetup Pro to Make?

  1. 01

    Create an OAuth app in Meetup Pro

    In your Meetup Pro account, open the API OAuth applications management section and click Create a new application. Give it a name, paste https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/meetup as the callback URI, save, then copy the Client ID and the Client secret shown on screen.

  2. 02

    Open the connection window in Make

    In your scenario, add any Meetup Pro module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Meetup Pro account linked to Make once, then reused by every Meetup Pro module. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps later.

  3. 03

    Paste your credentials and authorize

    Enter the Client ID and Client secret you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, and confirm. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read from your account right in the module fields.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Meetup Pro

GoalWhen someone RSVPs to one of your events in Meetup Pro, Make picks up the reply and fetches the event it belongs to, ready for your next app.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + in the middle of the editor. That empty circle is where your first module goes.

  2. 02

    Add Watch New RSVP

    Search for Meetup Pro, pick Watch New RSVP and click Create a connection (or pick the one you already made). This is a scheduled trigger: Make polls Meetup Pro on the scenario's schedule.

  3. 03

    Choose what to watch

    Fill in the module fields. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read from your account, so you pick from a menu instead of typing identifiers by hand.

  4. 04

    Add Get an Event

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Get an Event. Map the event from the RSVP bundle so the reply now travels with the event title and date; your sheet or CRM module can follow later.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received; a bundle is one item passing between modules, here one RSVP. Check that the right data arrived.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch it on

    Open the clock on the first module: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Keep that or adjust it within your plan, then switch the scenario on.

Triggers

Which Meetup Pro triggers start a scenario?

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

Meetup Pro1Watch New Event Comments (Deprecated)

Watch New Event Comments (Deprecated)

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Checks whenever an event has new comments.”

Each new comment posted under one of your events becomes a bundle in Make, so a question from a member can reach whoever should answer it. Pair it with a chat or email module from another app and your hosts hear about the comment without refreshing the event page.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks Meetup Pro on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, so a comment shows up at the next check.
When to use it
an event where members ask practical questions in the comments before the day.
Watch out
Make's doc flags this trigger as Deprecated, so run it once and confirm it still returns comments.
Meetup Pro2Watch New Group Event (Deprecated)

Watch New Group Event (Deprecated)

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Checks whenever a new group event is created.”

This trigger notices when a new event is created in a group and starts your scenario with that event as the bundle. That turns a freshly published meetup into a post in your team channel, a line in your content calendar or a task for whoever handles the venue.

How it fires
scheduled. Make asks Meetup Pro for new events at each run of the scenario, not the moment the event goes live.
When to use it
several organizers publish events and the rest of the team needs to know.
Watch out
the doc lists it as Deprecated; a Run once test tells you whether it still picks up events.
Meetup Pro3Watch New RSVP (Deprecated)

Watch New RSVP (Deprecated)

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Checks whenever a new RSVP was created.”

Every fresh RSVP to your events arrives in Make as its own bundle, which is exactly what you need to keep an attendee list, a welcome email or a badge printout in sync. Behind it, add Get an Event if the next app also needs the event title and date.

How it fires
scheduled. Make polls Meetup Pro on the scenario's schedule and collects the replies created since the previous check.
When to use it
you want each registrant logged elsewhere without exporting lists.
Watch out
Deprecated in Make's doc; test it with Run once before building a bigger flow on it.
Modules

What can Make do in Meetup Pro?

Meetup Pro gives you 24 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Meetup Pro1

Close an Event RSVP (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Closes the RSVPs for an event.”

Stops new registrations for an event, so the list freezes at the point you decide instead of when someone remembers to click. Paired with a count of RSVPs from another module, it can shut the door automatically.

When to use it
the venue is full and late replies would only create disappointed guests.
Watch out
marked Deprecated, so check the result in Meetup after a Run once.
Meetup Pro2

Create an Event (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Creates a Meetup group event.”

Publishes a new event in one of your Meetup groups from data that lives somewhere else, like a row in your planning sheet. You write the event once in your own tool, and Make copies it into Meetup.

When to use it
your team plans sessions in a shared calendar or sheet and retypes them into Meetup today.
Watch out
the module is Deprecated in the doc; a test run shows whether the event really appears.
Meetup Pro3

Delete an Event (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Deletes a selected event.”

Removes the event you point it to, which keeps Meetup in line when a session is cancelled in your own planning tool. Place it after a filter so only the cancelled sessions reach it.

When to use it
a talk is dropped from the program and the Meetup page should disappear too.
Watch out
a deletion cannot be undone from Make, and the doc tags the module Deprecated; test it on a dummy event first.
Meetup Pro4

Execute a GraphQL Query

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized GraphQL query.”

Sends a GraphQL query of your own to Meetup with the permissions of your connection, and returns whatever the query asks for. It is the only Meetup Pro module that Make's doc does not flag as Deprecated.

When to use it
none of the ready-made modules covers what you need, or a deprecated one no longer returns data.
Watch out
you write the query yourself, so you need to know the data you are asking for.
Meetup Pro5

Get a Group (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Returns a requested group.”

Returns one group you name, with its details, so later modules can use the group information without you pasting it in by hand. Think of it as a lookup placed in the middle of a scenario.

When to use it
a report or a message needs the group name and details next to an event or a member.
Watch out
Deprecated per the doc; if it comes back empty, try Execute a GraphQL Query.
Meetup Pro6

Get an Event (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Returns a requested event.”

Fetches the one event you point it to, so an RSVP or a comment arrives with the event title and date attached. It is the natural second step after a trigger.

When to use it
Watch New RSVP gives you the reply, and your sheet also needs to know which session it concerns.
Watch out
labelled Deprecated in the doc; check the bundle after Run once.
Meetup Pro7

Open an Event RSVP (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Opens the RSVPs for an event.”

Reopens registrations for an event whose RSVPs were closed, the mirror of Close an Event RSVP. Useful when seats free up and you want the event back on offer without logging in to Meetup.

When to use it
a bigger room was confirmed, or several guests cancelled at once.
Watch out
the doc marks it Deprecated; confirm on the event page that registration is open again.
Meetup Pro8

Update a Group (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Updates information about the user's group.”

Changes the information of a group you manage, so the Meetup page stays aligned with the master copy you keep elsewhere. Edit the text once in your own tool and let the scenario push it.

When to use it
the group description or details change and several people would otherwise edit Meetup by hand.
Watch out
Deprecated in Make's doc; compare the group page before and after a test run.
Meetup Pro9

Update an Event (Deprecated)

Action

In Make“Updates a Meetup group event.”

Edits an existing group event, which saves you from fixing the same change in two places when a detail moves in your planning tool. Point it to the exact event you want to change.

When to use it
the speaker or venue changes after the event is already published.
Watch out
flagged Deprecated; verify the change on Meetup after Run once.
Meetup Pro10

List Event Attendance (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of users attending an event.”

Returns the people attending an event, one bundle per person, which gives you a clean attendee list to send to a sheet, a badge tool or a follow-up email. As a search module, it can return zero, one or many results.

When to use it
after the event, to thank the people who came.
Watch out
each returned person counts as input for the next modules; the doc also marks this one Deprecated.
Meetup Pro11

List Event Comments (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of event comments.”

Pulls all the comments of one event at once, rather than waiting for new ones like the trigger does. That makes it the right choice for a recap or an archive of the discussion.

When to use it
you want every question asked under an event collected in one document after the session.
Watch out
it returns one bundle per comment, so the next module runs for each one; Deprecated per the doc.
Meetup Pro12

List Event Hosts (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of event hosts.”

Gives you the hosts of an event, so reminders, briefings or thank-you notes go to the people actually running it. Handy when hosts change from one session to the next.

When to use it
a new comment or RSVP arrives and the hosts of that event should be told.
Watch out
an event with several hosts produces several bundles; the doc lists this module as Deprecated.
Meetup Pro13

List Event RSVPs (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of event RSVPs.”

Returns every RSVP of one event in a single pass, where Watch New RSVP only brings the newest ones. Use it to rebuild or check a full guest list.

When to use it
you are setting up a scenario on an event that already has replies, and you want the existing ones too.
Watch out
a long list means many bundles and many operations, the unit Make counts on your plan; Deprecated in the doc.
Meetup Pro14

List Group Events (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns events of the selected group.”

Lists the events of the group you select, which is a quick way to publish your program on a website, a newsletter or a shared calendar from one source. Each event comes out as its own bundle.

When to use it
your group's agenda should appear in another tool without copying it event by event.
Watch out
Make's doc tags it Deprecated, so check that recent events appear in the test.
Meetup Pro15

List Group Members (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of group members.”

Returns the members of a group, one bundle each, so you can mirror your community into a CRM or a mailing tool. It covers one group; for a whole Pro network, List Pro Members is the wider option.

When to use it
a single group's audience needs to live in your marketing stack.
Watch out
big groups mean many operations; the module is Deprecated per the doc.
Meetup Pro16

List My Events (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns the user's events.”

Returns the events of the account behind your connection, not those of a chosen group. That makes it a personal agenda feed, useful when you organize or attend across several groups.

When to use it
you want your own upcoming Meetup sessions pushed into a calendar or a task list.
Watch out
results depend on which account created the connection; the doc marks it Deprecated.
Meetup Pro17

List My Groups (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns the user's groups.”

Returns the groups tied to your account, a handy starting point when a scenario has to loop over each of your groups and run the same steps on all of them.

When to use it
you manage several chapters and want one scenario to handle them all instead of one scenario per group.
Watch out
every group adds bundles downstream; Deprecated in Make's doc.
Meetup Pro18

List Pro Events (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a filtered list of pro events.”

Returns a filtered list of events across your Pro network, so a network manager sees every chapter's program from one module instead of querying groups one by one.

When to use it
a central team publishes or reviews the events of all its chapters in one place.
Watch out
set the filters tightly, since a wide network returns many bundles; the module is Deprecated per the doc.
Meetup Pro19

List Pro Group Statistics (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a filtered list of pro groups statistics.”

Brings back statistics for the groups of your Pro network, filtered as you choose, ready to feed a report or a dashboard without exporting anything by hand.

When to use it
sponsors or leadership expect a regular view of how each chapter is doing.
Watch out
the doc does not detail which statistics come back, so run it once and read the bundle before you map anything; Deprecated too.
Meetup Pro20

List Pro Members (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a filtered list of pro members.”

Returns a filtered list of members across the whole Pro network, the wide-angle version of List Group Members. One module gives you the community of every chapter.

When to use it
you sync the network's member base into a CRM and want a single scenario for it.
Watch out
filter before you map, or one run can use a lot of operations; the doc flags it Deprecated.
Meetup Pro21

List Pro RSVPs (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of pro network RSVPs.”

Gathers the RSVPs of your Pro network in one list, so you can measure turnout or build a network-wide attendee file without opening each event.

When to use it
a central team tracks registrations for all chapters together.
Watch out
this is a search, not a trigger, so it returns what exists at run time rather than only new replies; Deprecated per the doc.
Meetup Pro22

Search Events (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Finds events based on text and location.”

Finds events that match a text and a location you give it. Think of it as a scouting tool rather than an admin one.

When to use it
you track related meetups in your city to spot partners, speakers or date clashes.
Watch out
a broad text or location can bring back many events, each one a bundle; the doc marks it Deprecated.
Meetup Pro23

Search Groups (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Finds groups based on text and location.”

Looks up groups by text and location, which helps you map the communities around your topic before reaching out. Results can go straight into a sheet for your partnership list.

When to use it
you want to know which groups already cover your subject in a given city.
Watch out
the module is Deprecated in Make's doc; confirm results with Run once.
Meetup Pro24

Search Recommended Topics (Deprecated)

Search

In Make“Returns a list of recommended topics based on provided text.”

Suggests topics from a piece of text you provide, a small help when you tag a new group or event and want wording Meetup already knows.

When to use it
right before Create an Event, to pick topics that match the session description.
Watch out
it returns a list, so decide which topics you keep before passing them on; Deprecated per the doc.

FAQ

Meetup Pro and Make: common questions

01Is the Meetup Pro Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side: Meetup Pro is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Meetup Pro itself is a separate subscription: its own pricing page gives the terms.
02What do you need to connect Meetup Pro to Make?
An active Meetup account created on Meetup Pro, plus OAuth2 credentials. You create an application in the API OAuth applications management section of Meetup Pro, enter the callback URI given by Make's doc, then copy the Client ID and Client secret. In Make, click Create a connection on any Meetup Pro module and paste them, or follow the on-screen instructions. The connection is then reused by every Meetup Pro module.
03Do Meetup Pro triggers in Make fire instantly?
No. All 3 Meetup Pro triggers are scheduled: Make checks Meetup Pro at each run of the scenario, and none is an instant trigger. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan, 15 minutes is also the shortest interval; paid plans go down to 1 minute. So a new RSVP or comment appears in Make at the next check, not the second it happens. If you need a faster reaction, lower the interval on a paid plan rather than looking for an instant option.
04What if the Meetup Pro module you need is missing or stops working?
It depends on the case. Meetup Pro has no Make an API Call module, but it has Execute a GraphQL Query, which sends a query of your own with the rights of your connection. It is also the only module Make's doc does not mark as Deprecated, so it is the fallback when another one stops returning data. If writing GraphQL is not for you, the team can help you build that part.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Meetup Pro?
It depends on your stack. On Make, Meetup Pro comes with 27 modules, including 3 scheduled triggers and a GraphQL module, and you connect it through OAuth2 credentials. The same app may also have a node in n8n, so check what that node covers before choosing. No ranking here: compare what each tool offers for Meetup with the scenario you actually have in mind, then decide. Whatever you pick, test the Meetup modules with Run once first.
