What can the Pointagram Make integration automate?
The Pointagram Make integration links your Pointagram account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of modules). Each module is one brick of that chain: a trigger that starts it, an action that changes something, or a search that finds records.
Rewards that follow real work. When a deal closes in your CRM or a support ticket gets solved, a scenario can run Add Points so the leaderboard moves without anyone typing a score. The other app starts the flow, Pointagram records the result.
Onboarding without the admin chores. A new hire appears in your HR tool, Create a Player sets up the profile, then Add a Player to a Team drops that person into the right squad. When someone changes department, Update a Player and Delete a Player from a Team keep the roster honest.
A roster you can reuse elsewhere. Watch Players picks up players on the scenario's schedule, and List Players returns the players of your account, ready to copy into a sheet or a message.
A few limits worth knowing. Make's own documentation for this app warns that it was generated with AI from Pointagram's docs and may contain mistakes, so check anything critical against Pointagram. If a feature has no module, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API. Before you pick a tool, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, the Make review covers the editor in depth, and Make training helps if scenarios are new to you.
How do you connect Pointagram to Make?
- 01
Generate an API key in Pointagram
In Pointagram, open your profile, go to Settings, then Integrations. Click Add a Custom Integration, then Create Credentials, give the integration a name, click Show Key and copy the key.
- 02
Add a Pointagram module in Make
Log in to Make, open a scenario and add any Pointagram module. In the module panel, click Create a connection. A connection is your Pointagram account linked to Make once, then reused by every Pointagram module.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like; it is optional. Paste the API key you copied from Pointagram, confirm, and your Pointagram modules are ready to use.
Your first scenario: put new Pointagram players on a team
GoalWhen Watch Players picks up a player in Pointagram, Make adds that player to the team you chose.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to add the first module. This first module is what starts everything.
- 02
Pick Watch Players
Search for Pointagram, choose Watch Players and link your account with Create a connection, using the API key from the previous section.
- 03
Add the team step
Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Add a Player to a Team. Map the player coming from Watch Players, then choose the team that should welcome newcomers.
- 04
Test it 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, here one player.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then flip the scenario on so it keeps running without you.
What starts a Pointagram scenario
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Pointagram. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Pointagram as soon as it happens.
Watch Players
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Players gives your scenario a steady feed of Pointagram players, so every step after it can greet, sort or reward them without you checking the app by hand. Each player it returns becomes one bundle for the next module.
What the Pointagram modules can do
Pointagram gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add Points
ActionIn the docs onlyAdd Points is how results elsewhere turn into a score in Pointagram. It gives points inside your Pointagram account from whatever event your scenario catches, so the leaderboard reflects what really happened.
Add a Player to a Team
ActionIn the docs onlyPlacing people in the right group stops being a manual job with this action. It puts an existing Pointagram player into one of your teams, which is what team leaderboards and team goals rely on.
Create a Player
ActionIn the docs onlyWith Create a Player, someone who joins your company or program shows up in Pointagram without a manual signup. The action adds a new player to your account from data your scenario already holds.
Delete a Player from a Team
ActionIn the docs onlyKeeping team rosters accurate when people move on is the job of this action. It takes a player out of a Pointagram team, so team rankings only count the people who still belong there.
List Players
SearchIn the docs onlyList Players hands you the players in your Pointagram account so you can use them elsewhere in the scenario. As a search module, it can return zero, one or many players, each one as its own bundle.
Make an API Call
ActionIn the docs onlyThis module is your way around a missing feature. It lets your scenario call any endpoint of the Pointagram API, reusing the connection you already created, so you are not stuck with only the listed modules.
Update a Player
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Player keeps a profile current when details change in another system. Instead of creating someone twice, it edits a player who already exists in your Pointagram account.
