What can the Merci Facteur Make integration do for you?
The Merci Facteur Make integration lets Make drive your Merci Facteur account for you. Make runs scenarios, automations built as a chain of modules (one brick each, like an action or a search), so a letter can be addressed, sent, tracked or cancelled without you opening Merci Facteur.
Letters that leave on their own. A lead fills in a form in another app, Set a New Address stores the recipient and Send a Mail sends the letter. For a whole list of recipients, Send Publipostage (One Step) handles the mailing in a single module.
A clean address book. When a customer moves, Update an Address fixes the record, and List Addresses helps you find duplicates before a campaign. Delete an Address removes the ones you no longer need.
Follow-up without chasing. List Mails, Get a Mail Info and Get a Mail Proof Document pull the status and proof of each letter back into your tools, so your team answers a customer without logging in.
What Make does not give you here: a trigger. Merci Facteur has no module that starts a scenario, so the start comes from a schedule or from another app. Make's documentation for this app is also limited, so plan to test each module with care. If you are new to the editor, the Make training walks through the basics, and Make troubleshooting covers the usual errors. Still weighing tools? Read n8n vs Make.
How do you connect your Merci Facteur account to Make?
- 01
Add a Merci Facteur module
In your scenario, click the +, search for Merci Facteur and pick any module, for example Get a Postage Price. In the module window, click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every Merci Facteur module.
- 02
Name it and authorize Make
Give the connection a name you will recognize later, such as the account owner or the company. Then follow what Make asks: either you authorize Make on the Merci Facteur page, or you paste the key Merci Facteur gives you.
- 03
Save and check the result
Click Save. The connection now appears in the module's dropdown. Run a harmless read module, like Get a Postage Price or List Mails, with Run once to confirm Make reaches your account before you touch anything that sends a letter.
Your first scenario with Merci Facteur and Make
GoalWhen a new lead reaches another app, Make saves the address in Merci Facteur and sends the letter.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Add the module of the app where your leads land, like a form tool or a CRM. It starts the flow.
- 02
Save the recipient
Click the + on the right, search for Merci Facteur and pick Set a New Address. Create the connection, then map the name and postal details coming from the first module.
- 03
Add the letter
Add Send a Mail after it. Map the address created by the previous module, so each bundle (one lead flowing through the scenario) becomes one letter.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once and read the bundles each module received. Keep in mind the letter is real and billed. Test with your own address, and contact Merci Facteur after-sales if you need to cancel it.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Pick the interval that fits your plan, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation on your plan.
What each Merci Facteur module does in Make
Merci Facteur gives you 15 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Delete a Mail
ActionIn Make“Deletes a mail. Attention, irremediable operation. Depending on the current status of mail, a request to cancel a shipment may be rejected immediately, rejected after a certain period of time, partially rejected (cancellation of the shipment but invoicing partially canceled), or fully accepted (cancellation of the shipment and full cancellation of invoicing for this shipment).”
Cancels a letter you sent by mistake and asks Merci Facteur to stop the shipment. The answer depends on where the letter stands: refused at once, refused later, partly accepted with partial billing, or fully accepted with the billing cancelled.
Delete an Address
ActionIn Make“Deletes an address.”
Removes a contact from your Merci Facteur address book, so it no longer shows up when you prepare letters. It works on one address at a time.
Get a Mail
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a specific mail.”
Fetches one letter you already sent, so the next modules can reuse its details in another tool. You point it at a single mail, not a list.
Get a Mail Info
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a mail info.”
Brings back the information attached to a letter, which lets you show where a mailing stands without opening Merci Facteur.
Get a Mail Proof Document
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a mail proof document.”
Retrieves the proof document tied to a letter, ready to be stored or forwarded by the next module. That spares you downloading it by hand whenever someone asks for evidence.
Get a Postage Price
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a postage price.”
Returns a postage price, so you know what a letter will cost before anything leaves. Because it only reads, it is also the safest module to test your connection.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Opens the whole Merci Facteur API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created. It covers whatever the other Merci Facteur modules leave out.
Send a Mail
ActionIn Make“Sends a new mail. WARNING: this operation generates a letter which will be debited from your account, printed and mailed. If you carry out a test, please contact Merci factor's after-sales service to request the cancellation of the order.”
Turns a bundle from your scenario into a real paper letter: Merci Facteur debits your account, prints it and mails it. It is the heart of the integration: the step where paper actually leaves.
Send Publipostage (One Step)
ActionIn Make“Send Publipostage using Merci Facteur in only one step.”
Sends a publipostage, a mail merge of one letter to many recipients, in a single module instead of several steps. You save modules and keep the scenario short.
Set a New Address
ActionIn Make“Creates a new address.”
Adds a recipient to your Merci Facteur address book from data coming out of another app. Your list grows without anyone retyping postal details.
Update an Address
ActionIn Make“Updates an address.”
Changes an existing address in Merci Facteur, so the next letter reaches the right door. It edits the record you point at rather than creating a new one.
Upload a File
ActionIn Make“Uploads a file.”
Sends a file from your scenario to Merci Facteur, so it sits in your account for later use. The file can come from any earlier module that outputs one.
List Addresses
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of addresses.”
Pulls the addresses saved in Merci Facteur as separate bundles, one per contact, so later modules can loop over them. It is the search behind every clean-up.
List Mails
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of mails.”
Gives you the letters stored in your account, one bundle each, to report on them or feed another tool. It pairs well with Get a Mail Info.
Create a Template
ActionIn the docs onlyCreates a template in Merci Facteur from your scenario, which saves you rebuilding the same letter layout by hand. Make gives no official description of this module.
