PHOTTR Make integrationAutomate PHOTTR with Make.

Want your PHOTTR exports to move on by themselves? The PHOTTR Make integration offers 1 module, a trigger that watches new photo exports. This guide is for PHOTTR users new to Make: it shows how to link the account, then how to build and switch on a first scenario.

What you can automate

What can the PHOTTR Make integration do for you?

The PHOTTR Make integration links your PHOTTR account to Make so that a new photo export can start a scenario, which is the automation you build in Make: a chain of bricks called modules. PHOTTR brings one module, a trigger, and everything after it comes from other apps or from Make's own tools.

Because the app has a single module, Watch new photos export, its role is clear: it is the starting point. Each export it picks up becomes a bundle, one item that flows to the next module, and what happens next is up to you. A studio could pass every fresh export to a storage app, a marketing team could alert a channel when new visuals are ready, and a shop could hand the export to the tool that updates its catalog.

What the integration does not do matters just as much. There is no action module, so Make cannot create, edit or delete anything inside PHOTTR, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach other parts of the PHOTTR API. The Make documentation for this app is also marked as AI-generated from the vendor's docs, so check important details with PHOTTR.

Not sure Make is the right tool? The Make review covers the editor in depth, and n8n vs Make sets the two platforms side by side. If you would rather have the team build it, see the Make agency page.

Connect

How do you connect PHOTTR to Make?

  1. 01

    Add the PHOTTR module

    In your scenario, search for PHOTTR and pick Watch new photos export, then click Create a connection. A connection is your PHOTTR account linked to Make once and reused by every PHOTTR module afterward.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving the connection a name is optional, but it helps when several people or several PHOTTR accounts share the same Make organization. Pick something that says whose account it is, so nobody links the wrong one later.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what PHOTTR asks for, approve Make on the PHOTTR page that opens, or paste the key PHOTTR gives you. Then click Save. The module can now read your exports.

First scenario

Your first scenario with PHOTTR

GoalWhen a new photo export appears in PHOTTR, Make passes it to the next module of your choice.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + in the middle of the editor. This is where the first module goes.

  2. 02

    Add the PHOTTR trigger

    Search for PHOTTR, choose Watch new photos export and select your connection, or click Create a connection if you have not linked the account yet.

  3. 03

    Add what comes next

    Click the + on the right of the PHOTTR module and add the module of another app or a Make tool. Map the data coming from the export into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Export a photo in PHOTTR, then click Run once. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received and check that the data landed where you expected.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Click the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and turn the scenario on. From now on it runs without you.

Triggers

What starts a PHOTTR scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in PHOTTR. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by PHOTTR as soon as it happens.

PHOTTR1Watch new photos export

Watch new photos export

triggerIn the docs only

This trigger gives your scenario its starting signal: each new photo export in PHOTTR becomes a bundle that the following modules can use. It is the only PHOTTR module, so every PHOTTR scenario opens with it.

How it fires
the documentation does not state its type. Its name suggests a scheduled trigger, meaning Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule; look for the clock badge on the module to confirm.
When to use it
when an export should reach another tool without anyone downloading and uploading it by hand.
Watch out
the documentation is flagged as AI-generated, so confirm details with PHOTTR.

FAQ

PHOTTR and Make: common questions

01Is the PHOTTR Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. PHOTTR is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan, which 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 count usage in operations per month. Your PHOTTR subscription is separate and depends on PHOTTR's own pricing.
02What does the PHOTTR Make integration require to connect?
An active PHOTTR account with access to the REST API. The Make documentation gives no specific connection steps for this app, so the usual flow applies: add the module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make or paste the key PHOTTR provides, then click Save. If Make refuses the connection, the first thing to check is whether your PHOTTR plan includes API access. The connection is created once and then reused by every PHOTTR module.
03Does the PHOTTR trigger in Make react in real time?
Probably not, though the documentation does not say so outright. Watch new photos export is listed without a type, and its name points to a scheduled trigger: Make would then check PHOTTR on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, or as often as every minute on a paid plan. An instant trigger would carry a lightning badge instead of a clock, so the badge on the module in the editor settles the question.
04What if a PHOTTR module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. This app has only one module, the trigger, and no Make an API Call module, so Make cannot send anything back into PHOTTR. If your idea requires an action inside PHOTTR, look for another route, such as another app that exposes what you need, or ask the Hack'celeration team to study your case. Everything that happens after the export can still be handled by the modules of other apps.
05Is Make or n8n better for PHOTTR?
It depends on how you prefer to work, since the choice is about the platform rather than PHOTTR. In Make, PHOTTR gives you one trigger that watches new photo exports, and you build the rest visually from the modules of other apps. The same app often has an n8n node too, so if your team already runs n8n, check whether PHOTTR is available there before choosing. Neither tool changes what the PHOTTR API itself allows.
