Mentortools Make integrationAutomate Mentortools with Make.
Your course catalog can build itself from the tools where you already plan it. The Mentortools Make integration gives you 39 modules: 33 actions and 6 searches over courses, lessons, files and folders. This page connects your account and walks you through a first scenario.

What can the Mentortools Make integration do for your courses?
The Mentortools Make integration links your Mentortools account to Make, a no-code tool where you chain apps into a scenario (the automation you build). Each brick of that chain is a module, and Mentortools brings 39 of them to create, read, update, count and delete courses, lessons, files and folders.
Launch a course from its plan. Once a course outline is approved in another tool, Create a Course opens it in Mentortools, then Create a Module and Create a Lesson fill in the chapters and lessons. Nobody retypes the outline.
Keep an inventory of your catalog. List Courses returns one bundle (one item passed from module to module) per course, and Count Lessons gives a single figure you can post to your team next to it.
Tidy up files after a course ends. List All Files, then Delete a File or Delete a Folder, clear out material you no longer publish. Test these carefully, a delete does not come back.
What Make will not do here: Mentortools has no trigger module, so nothing starts on its own when a student enrolls or a lesson changes. Your scenario starts from another app or from a schedule instead. The Make documentation for this app is also flagged as AI-generated, so check important details in your account. If you are still choosing a tool, read our Make review and the n8n vs Make comparison; for a hand on a larger project, the Make agency team can help.
How do you connect Mentortools to Make?
- 01
Create an API key in Mentortools
In Mentortools, open Settings, then AI Interface, and use the button at the top right to create a new API key. Give it a name, tick the options it needs, click Save and copy the key shown on screen.
- 02
Add a Mentortools module in Make
In your scenario, add any Mentortools module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Mentortools account linked to Make once, then reused by every Mentortools module. The Connection name field is optional.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then confirm. Make can now list your Mentortools courses and folders when you fill in the module fields.
Your first scenario with Mentortools
GoalWhen a course plan is approved in another app, Make creates the course in Mentortools and adds its first chapter.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Start with the app where your course plans live, since Mentortools has no trigger of its own.
- 02
Add Create a Course
Click the + on the right of the first module, search for Mentortools and pick Create a Course. Choose your connection, or click Create a connection if this is the first time.
- 03
Map the course details
Fill the fields of Create a Course with data from the first module. Clicking a field shows the items the previous module returned, so you map them instead of typing values by hand.
- 04
Add Create a Module
Add Create a Module after it and map the course that Create a Course just returned. The new chapter then lands in the right course on every run.
- 05
Test with Run once
Click Run once to execute the scenario one time and open the bundles each module received. Each run creates a real course, so remove the test course in Mentortools afterwards.
- 06
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Every module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.
Everything the Mentortools modules can do
Mentortools gives you 39 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Count Courses
ActionIn Make“Returns the number of courses.”
Count Courses gives you a single figure: how many courses Mentortools reports at the moment the module runs. Handy when a report only needs the total and not the list of courses behind it.
Count Lessons
ActionIn Make“Returns the number of lessons.”
Need to know how many lessons exist before an audit or a content review? This module answers with one number and nothing else, which keeps the rest of the scenario light.
Count Modules
ActionIn Make“Returns the number of course modules.”
In Mentortools, a module is a chapter of a course, and Count Modules tells you how many of those chapters exist. You get the total in one bundle, ready to drop into a message or a sheet.
Count Submodules
ActionIn Make“Returns the number of submodules.”
Submodules are the sections one level below a course module, and this action returns how many of them Mentortools holds. It is the quickest check on the deepest part of your course structure.
Create a Course
ActionIn Make“Creates a new course.”
Create a Course opens a new course in Mentortools from data another app sends. In most build scenarios it is the first Mentortools step, the one every later chapter and lesson hangs from.
Create a Lesson
ActionIn Make“Creates a new module lesson.”
This action adds a lesson inside a course module, so the content students open shows up in the chapter where it belongs. It saves the copy and paste of every lesson from your drafting tool.
Create a Module
ActionIn Make“Creates a new module for a course.”
With Create a Module, a course gets a new chapter, the container that later holds lessons and submodules. Chained after Create a Course, it turns one outline into a structured course in a single run.
Create a Submodule
ActionIn Make“Creates a new submodule for a module.”
When a chapter grows too long, Create a Submodule nests a smaller section under it and keeps the course navigation readable for students.
Delete a Course
ActionIn Make“Deletes a course, including all data.”
Delete a Course removes a course from Mentortools, and the doc states that all of its data goes with it. Use it for deliberate clean-up, never as a casual step in a busy scenario.
Delete a Lesson
ActionIn Make“Deletes a module lesson, including all data.”
One lesson out, the rest of the chapter untouched: this action erases a single lesson and, according to the doc, all the data attached to it.
Delete a Module
ActionIn Make“Deletes a course module, including all data.”
A whole chapter leaves the course with Delete a Module, and the doc says its data is deleted along with it. That makes it the heaviest delete among the course modules after Delete a Course.
Delete a Submodule
ActionIn Make“Deletes a course submodule, including all data.”
Removes one submodule from its chapter, including the data stored in that section, which is the smallest cut you can make in a course structure.
Get a Course
ActionIn Make“Returns details about a course.”
Reading a single course is what Get a Course does: it returns that course's details as one bundle the next modules can reuse.
Get a Lesson
ActionIn Make“Returns details about a module lesson.”
With Get a Lesson, a scenario reads the details of one lesson in a module and passes them down the chain, for example to another app that stores your course material.
Get a Module
ActionIn Make“Returns details about a specified course module.”
This action reads one course module and returns its details, so later steps can reuse what Mentortools knows about that chapter.
Get a Submodule
ActionIn Make“Returns details about a module submodule.”
Get a Submodule pulls the details of one section inside a chapter and hands them to the next module as a single bundle.
Get Course Info
ActionIn Make“Returns the detailed course information.”
Mentortools offers a second way to read a course: Get Course Info returns what the doc calls the detailed information of a course, next to the plain read of Get a Course.
Get Lesson Info
ActionIn Make“Returns the detailed lesson information.”
For lessons too, a detailed read exists: Get Lesson Info returns the extended information of one lesson rather than its basic details.
Get Module Info
ActionIn Make“Returns the detailed module information.”
A chapter seen in full: Get Module Info gives the detailed view of a course module when a plain read with Get a Module feels too thin.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Make an API Call is the way out when the listed modules stop short: it calls any endpoint of the Mentortools API, reusing the connection you already set up.
Update a Course
ActionIn Make“Updates the details of an existing course.”
Changes the details of a course that already exists, so you never rebuild a course just to fix what describes it.
Update a Lesson
ActionIn Make“Updates the details of an existing lesson.”
Update a Lesson edits an existing lesson in place instead of deleting it and creating a new one, which keeps your course tidy.
Update a Module
ActionIn Make“Updates the details of an existing module.”
Reworking a chapter? Update a Module applies new details to an existing course module, without creating a second chapter next to the old one.
Update a Submodule
ActionIn Make“Updates the details of an existing submodule.”
This module updates the details of one existing submodule, the section level that sits under a course module.
List Courses
SearchIn Make“List all courses.”
List Courses brings back all your courses, one bundle per course, so the next modules can act on each of them in turn.
List Lessons
SearchIn Make“List all lessons.”
Returns all lessons as separate bundles, which turns a single run into one pass per lesson for every module that follows.
List Modules
SearchIn Make“List all course modules.”
Every chapter of your courses, laid out as separate bundles: that is what List Modules hands to the rest of the scenario.
List Submodules
SearchIn Make“List all submodules of a module.”
Scoped to one course module, List Submodules returns each of its sections as its own bundle.
Create a Folder
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate a Folder adds a folder in Mentortools. The doc gives it no description, so the module name is the only official hint about what it does.
Create an Order
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate an Order is the only order module of the app, and the Make doc says nothing more about it than its name.
Delete a File
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete a File removes one file stored in Mentortools. No official description comes with it, so treat the name as the whole contract.
Delete a Folder
ActionIn the docs onlyGetting rid of a folder you no longer need is what this module is named for; the doc adds no further detail about its behavior.
Get a File
ActionIn the docs onlyTo read one file's details inside a scenario, add Get a File and point it at the file you want; the result comes back as a single bundle.
Get a Folder
ActionIn the docs onlyGet a Folder reads one folder so later steps can reuse its details, for example to decide where a new file should go.
List All Files
SearchIn the docs onlyOne bundle per file: List All Files returns the files stored in Mentortools, ready to be handled one by one by the modules that follow.
List All Folders
SearchIn the docs onlyReturns your Mentortools folders as separate bundles, a quick way to see how course material is organized without opening the app.
Update a File
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a File changes a file that already sits in Mentortools, rather than uploading a second copy next to the old one.
Update a Folder
ActionIn the docs onlyThis module applies changes to a folder that already exists in Mentortools; beyond its name, the doc gives no description.
Upload a File
ActionIn the docs onlyUpload a File sends a file from another app into Mentortools, such as a handout produced earlier in the scenario or stored in a shared drive.
