What you can automate

What can the OpenFlex Marketing Make integration do?

The OpenFlex Marketing Make integration links your OpenFlex Marketing workspace to Make, so a scenario (the automation you build in Make, a chain of modules) can read the customers of a segment or call the OpenFlex Marketing API for you. The app has no trigger, so the start always comes from a schedule or from another app.

A segment list that reaches the right tool. Get workspace segment customers is the module that does the real work here. Put it behind a trigger from another app, then send each customer it returns to a spreadsheet, a CRM or a messaging tool. A marketer keeps the segment in OpenFlex Marketing and stops copying it by hand.

Anything the listed modules skip. Make an API Call reuses your connection to reach any endpoint of the OpenFlex Marketing API. It is the route when a need goes beyond reading a segment, as long as you have the vendor's API documentation open.

A cleanup of old scenarios. The third module is marked [DEPRECATED]. If an older scenario still uses it, this page helps you spot it and plan a replacement.

Be clear about the limits. Make's documentation for this app says its content was generated by AI from the vendor's docs and may contain mistakes, so check important details with OpenFlex Marketing. New to the editor? The Make training covers the basics, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps if you are still choosing a platform.

Connect

How do you connect OpenFlex Marketing to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    In OpenFlex Marketing, open the organisation settings, click the General tab, then API keys. Copy the key shown on screen. You need an active OpenFlex Marketing account to see it.

  2. 02

    Add a module and open the connection

    In your Make scenario, add any OpenFlex Marketing module and click Create a connection. A connection is your account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    Filling the Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when several workspaces exist. Paste the API key you copied, follow the on-screen instructions and save.

First scenario

Your first scenario with OpenFlex Marketing

GoalWhen another app signals that a campaign is ready, Make pulls the customers of an OpenFlex Marketing segment and passes them on.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the trigger of the app where your team marks a campaign as ready.

  2. 02

    Add the segment module

    Click the + on the right of that trigger, search for OpenFlex Marketing and choose Get workspace segment customers. Link your account with Create a connection.

  3. 03

    Fill in the fields

    Complete the module fields. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read in your workspace, so you pick values instead of typing them from memory.

  4. 04

    Call the API for the rest

    Add Make an API Call after it and map data from the previous module. Use the endpoint from the OpenFlex Marketing API docs that matches what you want done with those customers.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received, a bundle being one item passed along, such as one customer.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    If the trigger you picked is a scheduled one (clock badge), set its schedule, every 15 minutes by default; an instant trigger needs none. Then switch the scenario on. Every module run counts as an operation on your plan.

Modules

What each OpenFlex Marketing module does

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

OpenFlex Marketing1

Get workspace segment customers

ActionIn the docs only

This action brings the customers of a segment from your OpenFlex Marketing workspace into the scenario, so the next modules can use them. Make publishes no official description for it, so treat the name as your guide and check the output.

When to use it
a campaign is ready and the audience you built in OpenFlex Marketing has to reach another tool.
Watch out
run it once before mapping anything and read the bundles it returns, since the fields are not documented.
OpenFlex Marketing2

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

With this module you reach any endpoint of the OpenFlex Marketing API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created. It fills the gap whenever the other module does not cover your need.

When to use it
you want to change or fetch something in OpenFlex Marketing that no listed module handles.
Watch out
Make does not describe the endpoints for you, so keep the vendor's API documentation open while you set the request.
OpenFlex Marketing3

[DEPRECATED]

ActionIn the docs only

Knowing this entry exists saves you from building on something that is on its way out. Make labels it [DEPRECATED] and gives no description, which is a clear sign to leave it out of new scenarios.

When to use it
only when you audit an older scenario that already contains it and plan what replaces it.
Watch out
nothing documents what it did, so test the replacement with Run once before you switch the old scenario off.

FAQ

OpenFlex Marketing and Make: common questions

01Is the OpenFlex Marketing Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. OpenFlex Marketing is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which gives you 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. Make counts usage in credits, one operation per module run. You still need your own OpenFlex Marketing subscription, which is billed by the vendor, not by Make.
02What do you need to connect OpenFlex Marketing to Make?
An active OpenFlex Marketing account and an API key. You find the key in the organisation settings, under the General tab, in the API keys option. In Make, add an OpenFlex Marketing module, click Create a connection, optionally give the connection a name, then paste the key. The connection is saved once and reused by every OpenFlex Marketing module in your scenarios. If the API keys option is missing, ask the person who manages your organisation settings.
03Can an OpenFlex Marketing scenario start on its own in real time?
No. OpenFlex Marketing has no trigger module in Make, neither scheduled nor instant, so the app itself cannot start a scenario. You have two ways around it. Set a schedule on the first module, which is every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario and never faster than 15 minutes on the Free plan. Or begin the scenario with a trigger from another app, for example a form tool or a project board, and let OpenFlex Marketing modules follow. The second option starts the flow when something happens elsewhere instead of on a timer.
04What if the OpenFlex Marketing module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. This module reaches any endpoint of the OpenFlex Marketing API with the same connection, so it covers what Get workspace segment customers does not. You will need the vendor's API documentation to pick the endpoint and build the request. Also keep in mind that Make's own documentation for this app was generated by AI from the vendor's docs and may contain mistakes. When a detail matters, confirm it with OpenFlex Marketing before relying on it in a live scenario.
05Should you use Make or n8n for OpenFlex Marketing?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. The same app often has an n8n node, so check whether one exists for OpenFlex Marketing before deciding. On Make, you get 3 action modules, including Make an API Call for anything else, a visual editor and a Free plan to test with. If your other automations already live in n8n, staying there keeps everything in one place. If you are starting fresh, list the actions you need and check that each platform covers them.
