What you can automate

What can the Mini Course Generator Make integration do for you?

It links your Mini Course Generator account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (an automation made of a chain of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger or an action). Mini Course Generator tells Make when a learner joins or finishes something, and Make can then add or remove learners for you.

A learning path that moves on its own. When Watch Course Completed fires, Add Learner can enroll that person in the next course collection. Nobody has to check who finished what before opening the follow-up content.

A clean exit when access ends. Remove Learner takes someone out of the collections you pick. Pair it with a signal from another app, for example a cancelled subscription in your billing tool, and access closes without a manual cleanup.

A warm welcome for each new sign-up. Watch New Learner reacts when a learner lands in the collection you choose, so a scenario can pass that person to your email or CRM tool. Watch Course Collection Completed does the same at the end of a whole collection, a good moment to ask for feedback.

Know the limits before you start. The app lists 6 modules and no search module, so Make cannot look up a learner or a course on its own; Make an API Call covers endpoints outside that list. The official documentation also warns that it is AI-generated from the vendor docs, so double-check anything critical with Mini Course Generator. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and our Make review covers the editor itself. Stuck on a run? See Make troubleshooting.

Connect

How do you connect Mini Course Generator to Make?

  1. 01

    Create your API key in Mini Course Generator

    You need an active Mini Course Generator account with API access, which may require a paid plan. In your account, open Settings, then API Keys, click Create API Key, give it a name, click Create & View and copy the key shown on screen.

  2. 02

    Add a Mini Course Generator module in Make

    Open a scenario, add any Mini Course Generator module and click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions, and confirm. The connection is saved, and every other Mini Course Generator module can pick it without asking again.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Mini Course Generator

GoalWhen a learner completes a course in Mini Course Generator, Make enrolls that learner in the next course collection.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to add the first module. This first module decides when the whole automation starts.

  2. 02

    Pick Watch Course Completed

    Search for Mini Course Generator, choose Watch Course Completed, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection and paste your API key.

  3. 03

    Add the Add Learner action

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Add Learner. Pick the course collection that should come next, then map the learner data received from the trigger into the module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then complete a test course in Mini Course Generator. Each module shows the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along, here one learner. Check that the right person landed in the collection.

  5. 05

    Switch the scenario on

    Once the test looks right, turn the scenario on. With an instant trigger, Make waits for Mini Course Generator to call it instead of checking on a schedule, so each completion runs the scenario once.

Triggers

Which Mini Course Generator events can start a scenario?

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

Mini Course Generator1Watch Course Collection Completed

Watch Course Collection Completed

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a learner completes a course collection.”

You get one bundle each time a learner reaches the end of a full course collection, not just a single course. That makes it the right signal for milestones that only count once the whole path is done.

How it fires
instant, Mini Course Generator calls Make through a webhook as soon as the collection is completed.
When to use it
send a certificate request, a feedback survey or a tag in your CRM when someone finishes an entire program.
Watch out
a learner who finishes one course inside the collection will not fire it; use Watch Course Completed for that level.
Mini Course Generator2Watch Course Completed

Watch Course Completed

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a learner completes a course.”

This one hands your scenario the learner the moment a single course is finished. It is the finer grain of the two completion triggers, useful when each course leads somewhere different.

How it fires
instant, the app calls Make through a webhook right when the course is completed.
When to use it
open the next course collection with Add Learner, or notify the instructor that a student just reached the end.
Watch out
each completion costs at least one operation (one module run, which Make counts on your plan), so a busy course uses your quota faster.
Mini Course Generator3Watch New Learner

Watch New Learner

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a learner is added to the collection of choice.”

Your scenario learns about a new person as soon as they are added to the collection you select in the module. It is the starting point for onboarding flows that should not wait for any completion.

How it fires
instant, Mini Course Generator notifies Make through a webhook as soon as the learner is added.
When to use it
push the new learner to your newsletter tool or a sheet that tracks enrollments by collection.
Watch out
it watches one chosen collection; if several collections matter, set up one trigger per collection.
Modules

What can Make do in Mini Course Generator?

Mini Course Generator gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Mini Course Generator1

Add Learner

Action

In Make“Adds learner to selected course collections.”

Add Learner puts a person into the course collections you select, so access opens without you touching the dashboard. It is the action most scenarios end on.

When to use it
after a purchase in your shop or a form submission, or right after Watch Course Completed to unlock the next step of the path.
Watch out
map the learner details from the previous module rather than typing them, otherwise every run enrolls the same person.
Mini Course Generator2

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

When the listed modules stop short, this one lets you call any endpoint of the Mini Course Generator API while reusing the connection you already created. No second key, no separate setup.

When to use it
you need an operation that Add Learner and Remove Learner do not cover, such as reading data the triggers do not send.
Watch out
you build the request yourself, so keep the vendor API documentation open while you set it up.
Mini Course Generator3

Remove Learner

Action

In Make“Removes a learner from selected collections.”

Remove Learner takes a person out of the collections you pick, which closes their access in one step. Think of it as the mirror of Add Learner for the end of a relationship.

When to use it
a refund, a cancelled subscription or an expired cohort in another app should revoke course access.
Watch out
it acts on real learners, so test with Run once on a test learner before switching the scenario on.

FAQ

Mini Course Generator and Make: common questions

01Is the Mini Course Generator Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side. Mini Course Generator is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. On the app side, API access may require a paid Mini Course Generator plan, so check their pricing page before you build.
02What do you need to connect Mini Course Generator to Make?
An active Mini Course Generator account with API access, which may require a paid subscription, and a Make account. In Mini Course Generator, open Settings, then API Keys, click Create API Key, name it, click Create & View and copy the key. In Make, add a Mini Course Generator module, click Create a connection, optionally name it and paste the key. For an instant trigger, Make first asks you to click Create a webhook, then Create a connection.
03Do the Mini Course Generator triggers fire in real time?
Yes. All three triggers are instant: Watch Course Collection Completed, Watch Course Completed and Watch New Learner. Mini Course Generator calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, instead of Make checking on a schedule. That means the 15 minute default interval of a new scenario does not apply to these triggers. Each event runs the scenario once, and each module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.
04What if the Mini Course Generator module you need is missing?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Mini Course Generator API with the same connection, so you can cover what Add Learner and Remove Learner do not. Keep in mind that the app has no search module, so looking up a learner or a course goes through that API call. The official Make documentation for this app is AI-generated from the vendor docs and asks you to verify important details directly with Mini Course Generator.
05Make or n8n for Mini Course Generator?
It depends on what you need to run. On Make, Mini Course Generator comes with 6 modules: 3 instant triggers, 3 actions including Make an API Call, all available from the Free plan. Before choosing n8n, check whether a node exists there for this app and which events it covers, because this page only documents the Make side. Compare the two on the triggers you need, the ease of setup for your team and the cost of the volume you expect, rather than on reputation.
