What you can automate

What can the Pingram Make integration do for you?

The Pingram Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make, send messages through your Pingram account. Something happens in another app, and Pingram delivers an email or an SMS without anyone typing it. Everything here is an action: Pingram does the sending, another app or a schedule does the starting.

A confirmation that leaves on its own. Someone books, orders or signs up in another app; the next module, Send an email, writes to them with the details mapped from that first app. Nobody on the team has to remember it.

A text for what cannot wait. When the news matters more than the formatting, Send an SMS puts it on a phone. Placed after the email in the same scenario, it becomes a second channel for the people who never open their inbox.

Anything else Pingram's API offers. The two ready-made modules cover email and SMS. For every other endpoint, Make an API call reuses the same connection, so you are not stuck the day you need more.

What the integration does not do: it has no trigger, so Pingram never starts a scenario by itself. The Make documentation for this app also warns that its content is AI-generated from Pingram's own docs, so check anything critical with Pingram. The same kind of app often exists as an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out how the two tools differ, and the Make training takes you further once this first scenario runs.

Connect

How do you connect Pingram to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate an API key in Pingram

    You need an active Pingram account first. In the Pingram dashboard, open the area where API keys are managed, create a new key, give it a name, pick the environment or region if Pingram asks, then copy the key shown on screen.

  2. 02

    Add a Pingram module in Make

    In your Make account, add any Pingram module to a scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Pingram account linked to Make once, then reused by every Pingram module you add later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you run several accounts. Paste the API key you copied from Pingram, or follow the on-screen instructions, and save. The module is ready to use.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Pingram

GoalWhen a new entry lands in another app, Make emails the person through Pingram and follows up with an SMS.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since Pingram has no trigger, this first module comes from the app where the event happens, a form or a shop.

  2. 02

    Add Send an email

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Pingram and pick Send an email. Select your connection, then map the data from the first module into the fields Make shows.

  3. 03

    Chain Send an SMS

    Add one more module with the +: Send an SMS. It reuses the same connection. Map the values from the first module again, so the text and the email talk about the same event.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles, the items passed from one module to the next, that each module received. Check that the email and the SMS really arrived.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation, the unit Make tracks on your plan.

Modules

What the Pingram modules do

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

Pingram1

Make an API call

ActionIn the docs only

Reaches any endpoint of the Pingram API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, so you are never limited to email and SMS.

When to use it
the day you need something Pingram offers through its API that neither of the two ready-made modules covers.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself here, so keep Pingram's API documentation open while you set it up.
Pingram2

Send an SMS

ActionIn the docs only

Gets a short message onto someone's phone through your Pingram account, fed by whatever the earlier modules of the scenario picked up.

When to use it
for news people must see fast, such as a changed appointment or a delivery on its way, or as a backup after an email.
Watch out
the Make documentation for Pingram is AI-generated, so test with Run once on your own number before going live.
Pingram3

Send an email

ActionIn the docs only

Turns an event from another app into an email that Pingram sends for you, with the content mapped from the previous modules instead of typed by hand.

When to use it
for confirmations, welcome messages or internal alerts where a longer text and a proper subject line matter more than speed.
Watch out
one email goes out per bundle, so a first module that returns ten entries sends ten emails.

FAQ

Pingram and Make: frequently asked questions

01Is the Pingram Make integration free?
Yes, on Make's side. Pingram 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, Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Pingram itself needs its own active account; its pricing page tells you what that costs.
02What do you need to connect Pingram to Make?
An active Pingram account and an API key. You create the key in the Pingram dashboard, in the area where API keys are managed: name it, choose the environment or region if asked, confirm and copy it. In Make, add a Pingram module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, paste the key and save. That one connection then serves all three Pingram modules in every scenario you build afterwards, with nothing to repeat.
03Can Pingram trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No. Pingram has no trigger module in Make, so it never starts a scenario on its own. The start comes from elsewhere: a trigger from another app, such as a form or a store, or the schedule of the first module, which checks every 15 minutes by default on a new scenario. Pingram then sits after that first module and sends the email or SMS as soon as the scenario reaches it.
04What if the Pingram module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API call. Pingram has this module in Make, and it can call any endpoint of the Pingram API with the same connection as the other two modules. That covers everything beyond Send an email and Send an SMS. Keep in mind that Make's documentation for this app is AI-generated from Pingram's docs, so when a detail matters, confirm it with Pingram directly before building a whole scenario on it.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Pingram?
It depends on the tool your team already uses. On Make, Pingram offers three action modules, email, SMS and an API call, and runs from the Free plan. The same kind of app often exists as an n8n node, so check whether it does for Pingram before choosing. Neither tool is ranked here: pick the one where your other apps and your scenarios already live, and the Pingram part will follow.
