PromptLayer Make integrationAutomate PromptLayer with Make.

Want your PromptLayer agent to get to work when new data shows up in another tool? The PromptLayer Make integration gives you one action module, Run Agent. This page walks ops and product teams through the connection, a first scenario and the questions that usually follow.

What you can automate

What does the PromptLayer Make integration let you automate?

The PromptLayer Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make, start an agent you set up in PromptLayer. It relies on a single module, meaning one brick of the scenario: Run Agent, an action. Something else has to start the scenario, such as another app or a schedule.

Answer incoming requests with your agent. A form tool or a chat app starts the scenario, Run Agent passes the message to your PromptLayer agent, and the next module delivers the reply wherever your team reads it. The pages on the 123FormBuilder Make integration and the 2Chat Make integration show what those first modules can look like.

Enrich records before they land in your stack. When a row or contact arrives from another app, Run Agent can process it and hand its output to the module that writes the record, so the enriched version is the one people see.

Run the same agent on a schedule. A scenario can also start on its own clock, every 15 minutes by default, and call Run Agent each time without any trigger from another app.

What Make does not do here: there is no PromptLayer trigger and no Make an API Call module, so everything beyond running an agent stays inside PromptLayer. The Make documentation for this app also warns that it was generated with AI and may contain mistakes, so check anything important against PromptLayer. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria.

Connect

How do you connect PromptLayer to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your PromptLayer API key

    Log in to PromptLayer and open the account menu in the top right corner. Click Settings, go to the API section and copy the key shown there. You need an active PromptLayer account for this.

  2. 02

    Add the module and create the connection

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

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you manage several accounts. Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions on screen, and save.

First scenario

Your first scenario with PromptLayer

GoalWhen a new entry arrives in another app, Make runs your PromptLayer agent on it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since PromptLayer has no trigger, pick the app where your data starts, for example your form tool.

  2. 02

    Add Run Agent

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for PromptLayer and choose Run Agent. Click Create a connection if you have not linked your account yet.

  3. 03

    Map the incoming data

    Fill the module fields and map data from the first module into them. Each item passing between modules is a bundle: one form entry, one message, one row.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Then read the bundles each module received to check what your agent returned.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

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

Modules

What the PromptLayer module does in Make

PromptLayer gives you 1 module. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

PromptLayer1

Run Agent

Action

In Make“Run an Agent in PromptLayer”

You get your PromptLayer agent working inside a scenario: Run Agent starts an agent from your account and makes its result available to the modules that come after it.

When to use it
a support request, a lead or a document arrives in another app and you want the agent to handle it before anyone looks at it.
Watch out
it is the only PromptLayer module in Make, so the scenario needs another app or a schedule to start, and every run costs one operation.

FAQ

PromptLayer and Make: frequently asked questions

01Is the PromptLayer Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. PromptLayer is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans, Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise, bring the interval down to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. You still need an active PromptLayer account, and its subscription is set on the PromptLayer pricing page.
02What do you need to connect PromptLayer to Make?
You need an active PromptLayer account and its API key. Log in to PromptLayer, open the account menu in the top right corner, click Settings and copy the key from the API section. In Make, add the Run Agent module, click Create a connection, give the connection a name if you like and paste the key. The connection is then saved and reused by every PromptLayer module in your scenarios, so you only do this once per account.
03Can PromptLayer trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No. PromptLayer has no trigger in Make, so it cannot start a scenario by itself. You have two ways to begin anyway. The first is to open the scenario with a trigger from another app, such as a form tool or a chat app, and place Run Agent after it. The second is to give the scenario its own schedule on the first module: new scenarios run every 15 minutes by default, and paid plans allow intervals down to 1 minute.
04What if the PromptLayer module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. Make offers only Run Agent for PromptLayer and no Make an API Call module, so any other PromptLayer feature has to be handled in PromptLayer itself. Often the missing piece belongs to another app: use that app's modules around Run Agent to fetch the input and store the output. The Make documentation for this app notes that it was written with AI help and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with PromptLayer. For anything more specific, the team can look at your case.
05Should you use Make or n8n for PromptLayer?
It depends on your criteria. On Make, the integration is one action module, Run Agent, available from the Free plan, with no trigger and no Make an API Call module. That fits a flow where another app or a schedule starts the scenario and the agent does its work in the middle. Before choosing, check whether n8n offers a PromptLayer node that covers what you need, then compare how each tool fits the rest of your stack and your team. The goal is to pick the one your team will actually maintain.
