What can you automate with the Microsoft Entra ID Make integration?
The Microsoft Entra ID Make integration links your directory to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: the automation itself, a chain of modules that runs on a schedule or when another app calls Make. Each module is one brick, here an action or a search on your users and groups.
Onboarding without tickets. A new row lands in your HR tool, Create a User opens the account and Add Members to a Group gives access to the right teams. If your hiring data lives in a base, the Airtable Make integration is a natural starting point.
Clean offboarding. When someone leaves, Get a User's Memberships shows every group they belong to, Remove Member from Group takes them out one group at a time, and Delete a User closes the account once the checks are done.
Directory reports. Search Users and Search Groups pull lists you can send to a spreadsheet for an access review, with Update a User to correct what the review finds.
Know the limits before you start: the app has no trigger, so Entra ID never starts a scenario by itself. You start it from another app or on a schedule. For endpoints the 12 modules skip, Make an API Call reuses the same connection. The same directory also has an n8n node, covered in the Microsoft Entra ID n8n integration guide, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a tool.
How do you connect Microsoft Entra ID to Make?
- 01
Add a Microsoft Entra ID module
In your scenario, click the +, search for Microsoft Entra ID and pick any of its modules, such as Get Current User. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app.
- 02
Name the connection
Giving it a name is optional, but it pays off later. A label such as "Entra ID, admin account" tells you at a glance which account a module runs under when your team shares scenarios.
- 03
Authorize Make and save
Follow the window that opens: either you authorize Make on the app's page, or you paste the key the app gives you. Click Save, and Make can now read and change your directory through that account.
Build your first scenario: onboard a new hire
GoalWhen a new hire is added in another app, Make creates the user in Microsoft Entra ID and adds them to a group.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first module comes from the app that holds your hiring data, such as a sheet or an HR tool.
- 02
Add Create a User
Click the + on the right, search Microsoft Entra ID and pick Create a User. Map the name and details from the first module, so each bundle (one new hire) becomes one account.
- 03
Add the group
Add Add Members to a Group next. Once the connection exists, Make can list what it reads from your directory, and you map the user created by the previous module.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once with a test row. Open the bubble on each module to read the bundles it received, and check in Entra ID that the test account and its group look right.
- 05
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario) and turn the scenario on. Each run costs operations: one operation is one module handling one bundle.
What can Microsoft Entra ID do in Make?
Microsoft Entra ID gives you 12 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add Members to a Group
ActionIn Make“Allows you to add multiple members to a group.”
Puts several people into one group in a single step, so a whole team gets the same access at once instead of a module per person.
Create a User
ActionIn Make“Creates a new user.”
Opens a new account in your directory from data that arrives in the scenario, which turns a signed offer or a new HR record into a working login.
Delete a User
ActionIn Make“Deletes a specific user.”
Removes a specific account from the directory, the last step of an offboarding flow once access and data have been handed over.
Get a Group
ActionIn Make“Retrieves information about a specific group.”
Fetches the details of one group you already know, so later modules can use its information in a message or a report.
Get a User
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a specific user.”
Reads one specific account, which lets you check who a person is in the directory before the scenario changes anything about them.
Get Current User
ActionIn Make“Retrieves user information for the signed-in user.”
Returns the profile of the signed-in user, the account your Make connection runs under. Handy for a quick sanity check.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Calls any endpoint of the app's API with the same connection, which covers what the 11 other modules leave out without a separate login.
Remove Member from Group
ActionIn Make“Removes a single member from a specific group.”
Takes a single person out of one specific group, which closes an access without touching the account itself.
Update a User
ActionIn Make“Updates a user information.”
Changes the information of an existing account, so a promotion or a move recorded in your HR tool also shows up in the directory.
Get a User's Memberships
SearchIn Make“Retrieves the list of groups memberships for a specific user.”
Lists every group a given person belongs to, so you see their current access in one place.
Search Groups
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of groups.”
Returns a list of groups from your directory, useful to build an inventory or to find the group a scenario should target.
Search Users
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of users.”
Pulls a list of accounts, which gives you a directory export you can filter, compare or send to a spreadsheet.
