What you can automate

What can the ppcassist Make integration do for you?

The integration links your ppcassist account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a single brick such as a trigger or an action. Once linked, Make can pick up your orders and ad campaign groups, pull store KPIs and search terms, and change a bid, with no code to write.

A performance digest without exports. Get All Stores Main KPIs and Get a Store Main KPIs Per Country fetch the headline figures of your stores, and the next module in the scenario can post them where your team already reads its numbers.

Search terms that earn attention. Get Search Terms First Sales and Get Search Terms for a Period bring back the queries tied to your sales, which gives an analyst a list to review instead of a dashboard to dig through.

Bids changed from a rule you control. Edit a Keyword or Product Target Bid lets a scenario adjust a bid once your own condition is met, for example after a check on Get Products Key Metrics.

Know the limit before you start: the Make documentation for ppcassist is short. It lists the modules but describes none of them, and gives no prerequisites or connection steps. Test each module with a single run before you rely on it. If you are still weighing tools, read the n8n vs Make comparison, check Make pricing, or learn the editor with our Make training.

Connect

How do you connect ppcassist to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a ppcassist module

    In a scenario, click the +, search for ppcassist and pick any of its modules. Make then asks for a connection, which is your ppcassist account linked to Make once and reused by every ppcassist module. Click Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This step is optional but handy. A clear name, such as the store or the client it belongs to, helps later when several accounts sit in the same Make organization and you need to pick the right one from a list.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Depending on what ppcassist asks for, either approve Make on the ppcassist page that opens, or paste the key the app gives you. Then click Save. The documentation does not say which of the two methods ppcassist uses.

First scenario

Your first scenario with ppcassist

GoalWhen a new Amazon order reaches ppcassist, Make pulls the key metrics of your products so you can pass them to the next tool.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page in Make, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the canvas to place the first module.

  2. 02

    Place the trigger

    Search for ppcassist, choose Watch Amazon Orders and select your connection, or create it with Create a connection if this is your first ppcassist module.

  3. 03

    Add the metrics action

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Get Products Key Metrics. Fill its fields, mapping data from the order bundle when a field matches what the trigger returned.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time; open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received, that is the items passed from one module to the next.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Click the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Triggers

What starts a ppcassist scenario

2 modules start a scenario when something happens in ppcassist. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by ppcassist as soon as it happens.

ppcassist1Watch Ad Campaigns Groups

Watch Ad Campaigns Groups

triggerIn the docs only

This trigger gives your scenario a starting point on the structure of your ads: as its name says, it watches your ad campaign groups in ppcassist, so whatever follows can react to them without anyone opening the app.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, and a scheduled trigger shows a clock badge. The documentation does not state the type, it is read from the module name, so confirm the badge when you add it.
When to use it
when the team that runs the ads should see campaign groups copied into a shared tracker.
Watch out
the documentation lists no fields for this module, so run it once and read the bundle before mapping.
ppcassist2Watch Amazon Orders

Watch Amazon Orders

triggerIn the docs only

Your orders become the signal that starts a scenario. The name tells you what it follows, your Amazon orders as ppcassist sees them, and each order that comes through can feed the modules you place after it.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, so an order waits for the next check instead of arriving the second it is placed. The type is inferred from the name, since the documentation gives none.
When to use it
when a sale should trigger a look at product metrics or a line in a sales log.
Watch out
on the Free plan, scheduled runs are at least 15 minutes apart.
Modules

Everything else ppcassist can do in Make

ppcassist gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

ppcassist1

Edit a Keyword or Product Target Bid

ActionIn the docs only

Here is the only module that changes something in ppcassist: it edits the bid on a keyword or a product target, so a scenario can act on your ads instead of just reporting on them.

When to use it
after a metrics module shows a target that you decided, by your own rule, deserves a new bid.
Watch out
the change touches live advertising and the documentation does not describe the fields, so test on a single target with Run once first.
ppcassist2

Get All Stores Main KPIs

ActionIn the docs only

One call, every store: this action returns the main KPIs of all the stores in your ppcassist account, which is the quickest way to feed a single overview.

When to use it
when you manage several stores and want one digest rather than a report per store.
Watch out
the documentation does not say which KPIs come back. Run it once and read the output before building the report around it; if you need one store split by market, the per-country module fits better.
ppcassist3

Get Products Key Metrics

ActionIn the docs only

With this module you move from store level to product level: it retrieves the key metrics of your products, which is where most decisions on ads and stock start.

When to use it
right after Watch Amazon Orders, or before a bid change, when you need figures for specific products rather than the whole store.
Watch out
the exact metrics are not listed in the documentation, so check the bundle with Run once before mapping a value into another app.
ppcassist4

Get Search Terms First Sales

ActionIn the docs only

Spot the queries that started to sell. As its name suggests, this action focuses on search terms and their first sales, which helps you catch new winners early.

When to use it
when you want fresh converting terms sent to the person who manages your keywords, so they can decide what to target next.
Watch out
the documentation gives no definition of a first sale or of the fields returned, so read one test run carefully before acting on it.
ppcassist5

Get Search Terms for a Period

ActionIn the docs only

A wider lens on search: this module returns the search terms over a period you set, where the first-sales module, going by its name, looks at terms that have just converted.

When to use it
for a review of what shoppers typed across a campaign, a promotion or any stretch of time you want to compare.
Watch out
a long period can bring back many terms, and each module run on each bundle counts as an operation on your Make plan. Test with a short period first.
ppcassist6

Get Stores

ActionIn the docs only

Think of it as the directory of your account. Get Stores returns the stores linked to ppcassist, which gives later modules a clean list to work from.

When to use it
at the start of a scenario that loops through each store, for instance to request per-country KPIs one store at a time.
Watch out
the documentation does not list what each store record holds, so run it once to see which identifier the next module can reuse.
ppcassist7

Get a Store Main KPIs Per Country

ActionIn the docs only

For a seller present in several markets, this action breaks down the main KPIs of one store by country, which shows where a store grows and where it stalls.

When to use it
when a country manager needs the figures for their own market, not the global total that Get All Stores Main KPIs returns.
Watch out
its name points to one store at a time, so pair it with Get Stores when you cover several, and check the output with a single test run.

FAQ

Questions about the ppcassist Make integration

01Is the ppcassist Make integration free?
Yes, ppcassist is a standard app in Make, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, up to 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the minimum interval down to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations each month. This page covers Make only and says nothing about the price of ppcassist itself.
02What do you need to connect ppcassist to Make?
A ppcassist account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no prerequisites and no specific connection steps for ppcassist, so the generic flow applies: add a ppcassist module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the ppcassist page or paste the key the app gives you, and click Save. The documentation does not say which of those two methods ppcassist uses, so follow what the connection window shows.
03Do ppcassist triggers in Make run in real time?
No. Both triggers, Watch Ad Campaigns Groups and Watch Amazon Orders, are treated as scheduled: Make checks ppcassist on the scenario's schedule instead of being called the moment something happens. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan the interval cannot be shorter than 15 minutes, while paid plans go down to 1 minute. The documentation does not state the type outright; it comes from the module names, so look for the clock badge in the editor.
04What if a ppcassist module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The ppcassist app in Make has 9 modules and no Make an API Call module, so you cannot ask ppcassist for anything beyond what these modules return. The documentation itself is limited, which means some behavior is only visible by testing. If a step is missing, look for another app that holds the same data, or ask the team at Hack'celeration to review the case with you through the help form on this page.
05Should you use Make or n8n for ppcassist?
It depends on where your other automations live and what you need from ppcassist. In Make, the ppcassist app gives you 2 triggers and 7 actions, ready to connect without code, and the editor lets you test each step with Run once. The same app often has a node in n8n as well, so check what that node covers before choosing. Compare the modules each tool offers for your exact task, then pick the one your team already uses, which keeps maintenance in one place.
