What you can automate

What does the Octoboard Make integration let you automate?

The Octoboard Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of bricks called modules, ask Octoboard to audit a web page, read its SEO content, list its social links or look up an IP address. Octoboard has no trigger in Make, so something else starts the run and Octoboard does the analysis.

An audit for every page you publish. When a new article URL shows up in a content tracker, Performs a SEO Audit runs on it and the result goes wherever your team reviews work. Nobody has to remember to open Octoboard.

Richer leads from a single IP. A sales team that receives form entries with an IP address can pass it to Retrieves location and business details for IP address and store the location and company details next to the contact.

A quick profile of a prospect's site. Before a call, chain Retrieves web page SEO content and Retrieves social links for a web page on the prospect's homepage, and the account manager opens the meeting with the basics already gathered.

Keep one limit in mind: Make's own documentation for Octoboard is marked as limited, with no listed prerequisites and no field-by-field guide. You discover the options inside each module once the connection exists. For anything the listed modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API. If you are also weighing n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, Make pricing explains how runs are counted, and Make training covers the editor from scratch.

Connect

How do you connect Octoboard to Make?

  1. 01

    Add an Octoboard module

    In your scenario, add any Octoboard module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Octoboard account linked to Make once. You can give it a name, which helps when several people or clients share the same Make workspace.

  2. 02

    Authorize Make

    Make then asks for access. Depending on what Octoboard offers, you either approve Make on an Octoboard page (the OAuth window) or paste the key that Octoboard gives you into the connection form.

  3. 03

    Save and reuse it

    Click Save. The connection now appears in the dropdown of every Octoboard module, so the four other modules pick it up without a new login.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Octoboard

GoalWhen a new page URL arrives from another app, Make reads its SEO content in Octoboard and then runs a full SEO audit on it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module: the app where your URLs live, such as a spreadsheet or a CMS.

  2. 02

    Add the SEO content module

    Click the + on the right, search for Octoboard and pick Retrieves web page SEO content. Choose your connection or click Create a connection, then map the URL from the first module.

  3. 03

    Add the audit

    Add Performs a SEO Audit after it and map the same URL. Each item passed between modules is a bundle, here one page, and each module run on it counts as one operation on your plan.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received, so you can check what Octoboard returned before going further.

  5. 05

    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. From now on, new URLs get processed without you.

Modules

What each Octoboard module does

Octoboard gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Octoboard1

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

This module sends your own request to the Octoboard API with the connection you already have, so you reach the parts of the service the other four modules leave out.

When to use it
you need an Octoboard feature that has no dedicated module, and a new connection or a workaround would be overkill.
Watch out
the documentation is limited, so you have to know the endpoint you are calling yourself.
Octoboard2

Performs a SEO Audit

Action

In Make“Runs an SEO audit for a specified web page.”

Give it a page and Octoboard runs an SEO audit on that page, returning the findings as data your next module can store, send or compare.

When to use it
a new landing page or blog post goes live and you want the audit filed automatically instead of run by hand.
Watch out
it audits one page per bundle, so every URL in your list is its own run and its own operation.
Octoboard3

Retrieves location and business details for IP address

Action

In Make“Retrieves geographical information and business details of a specified IP address.”

Hand this module an IP address and you get back where it points geographically along with business details about it, ready to attach to a lead or a log entry.

When to use it
a web form captures the visitor's IP and your sales team wants to know which company may be behind it.
Watch out
it works on an IP, not a domain, so map the address field from the previous module, not the site URL.
Octoboard5

Retrieves web page SEO content

Action

In Make“Retrieves SEO content from a URL.”

Pick this one when you want the SEO content of a page, the elements search engines read, without running a full audit on it.

When to use it
you track what competitors or clients put in their pages and only need the raw content to compare over time.
Watch out
if you also need a verdict on the page, chain it with Performs a SEO Audit instead of expecting both from one module.

FAQ

Octoboard and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Octoboard Make integration free?
Yes, Octoboard is a standard app in Make, available from the Free plan onward. The Free plan has its own limits: 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two 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, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations per month, so every Octoboard module run on a bundle uses one.
02What do you need to connect Octoboard to Make?
An Octoboard account and a Make account are enough to start, since Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for this app. You add any Octoboard module, click Create a connection, then either approve Make on the Octoboard authorization page or paste the key Octoboard provides, and click Save. The same connection then serves all 5 Octoboard modules. Be aware that the official documentation for this app is marked as limited, so some settings are only visible inside the module itself.
03Does Octoboard have a trigger in Make?
No, Octoboard has no trigger module in Make, only actions. A scenario that uses it therefore starts somewhere else. You can open the scenario with a trigger from another app, for example the tool where new URLs or leads appear, or let the schedule start it: the clock on the first module runs the scenario every 15 minutes by default, and down to 1 minute on paid plans. Octoboard then does its analysis as a later step in the chain.
04What if the Octoboard module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what is missing. The integration includes Make an API Call, which calls any endpoint of the Octoboard API with the connection you already set up, so a feature without a dedicated module is still reachable. The catch is the documentation: Make describes its Octoboard docs as limited and lists no endpoints, so you need to know which one to call before building that request. If the data you want is not in Octoboard at all, another app in the Make catalog is the better route.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Octoboard?
It depends on your criteria rather than on the app. In Make, Octoboard offers 5 action modules plus a universal API call, and this page shows how to put them to work without code. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check what that node covers before choosing. Compare the modules each tool provides for your use case, how each one counts usage, and which editor your team already knows. The comparison page linked above goes through those points side by side.
