What you can automate

What can the Pushwoosh Make integration do for you?

The Pushwoosh Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, create, read, search and delete your Pushwoosh push notifications. Pushwoosh has no trigger in Make, so the scenario starts from another app or from a schedule, and Pushwoosh does the sending part.

Notify users when something happens elsewhere. A new order lands in your shop, a record changes in a database like the one on our Airtable Make integration page, and Create a Push Notification creates the message without anyone opening the Pushwoosh Control Panel.

Cancel a message that no longer applies. An offer gets pulled before its planned send. Delete a Push Notification removes that scheduled notification so users never see an outdated promise.

Keep a record of what went out. Search Push Notifications goes through your notification history and Get a Push Notification reads the details of one message, which you can then copy into a sheet or a report.

What Make does not cover here: there is no trigger, so Pushwoosh cannot start a scenario by itself, and anything outside the 5 listed modules goes through Make an API Call. Pushwoosh often has an n8n node too; our n8n vs Make comparison sets the two side by side. To go further with the editor, the Make training starts from zero.

Connect

How do you connect Pushwoosh to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate an API token in Pushwoosh

    A connection is your Pushwoosh account linked to Make once and reused by every Pushwoosh module. It needs an API access token: in the Pushwoosh Control Panel, open Settings, then API Access, click Generate New Token, pick the token type, name it, click Generate and copy it.

  2. 02

    Add a Pushwoosh module in Make

    Log in to Make, add any Pushwoosh module to your scenario and click Create a connection. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when several projects or teammates share the same Make account.

  3. 03

    Paste the token and save

    Enter the token you copied from Pushwoosh, or follow the on-screen instructions, and confirm. The connection now appears in every Pushwoosh module, so you never paste the token again for this account.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Pushwoosh

GoalWhen a new event arrives from another app, Make creates a Pushwoosh push notification built from that event's data.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app where the event happens, such as your shop or your CRM, since Pushwoosh has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Push Notification

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search for Pushwoosh and choose Create a Push Notification. Select your connection or click Create a connection if this is your first time.

  3. 03

    Map the message

    Fill the module fields and map data from the first module, like a customer name or an order number, so every push reads as written for that person rather than a generic blast.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open each module to read the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed from one module to the next, and fix any mapping that looks wrong.

  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 Pushwoosh can do in Make

Pushwoosh gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Pushwoosh1

Create a Push Notification

Action

In Make“Creates a new push notification.”

This module creates a new push notification in Pushwoosh as soon as the scenario reaches it, so the message is ready when the event happens, not when someone remembers to write it.

When to use it
right after a trigger from another app, for example an order confirmation or a reminder tied to a booking.
Watch out
map real data into the fields and test with Run once, because a live scenario will reach real users.
Pushwoosh2

Delete a Push Notification

Action

In Make“Deletes a scheduled push notification.”

You can cancel a notification before it goes out: this module removes a scheduled push notification, which keeps an expired offer or a changed plan from reaching your audience.

When to use it
when a sale is cancelled or an event moves, pair it with Search Push Notifications to find the right message first.
Watch out
the target is a scheduled notification, and a deletion cannot be undone from the scenario.
Pushwoosh3

Get a Push Notification

Action

In Make“Gets details of a single push notification.”

Reading one notification in full is what this module does: it fetches the details of a single push, so the next modules can store or forward exactly what was sent.

When to use it
after Create a Push Notification, or on one result of a search, when you need that single message on record rather than a whole list.
Watch out
it works on one notification at a time, so you must give it the one you want.
Pushwoosh4

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Anything the other four modules do not cover becomes reachable here: this module calls any endpoint of the Pushwoosh API with the connection you already set up, so no second login is needed.

When to use it
when the task you have in mind has no dedicated module in the list.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Pushwoosh API documentation open and check each response with Run once.
Pushwoosh5

Search Push Notifications

Search

In Make“Searches through push notifications history.”

With this module you look back through your push notification history and pull out the messages you need, each one coming out as its own bundle for the modules that follow.

When to use it
to build a report of what went out, or to find a scheduled message before deleting it.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or several bundles, and every module after it runs once per bundle, which adds operations.

FAQ

Pushwoosh and Make: common questions

01Is the Pushwoosh Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Pushwoosh is a standard app, so it works 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 and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and count usage in credits per month. Your Pushwoosh subscription is separate and billed by Pushwoosh.
02What is needed to connect Pushwoosh to Make?
You need an active Pushwoosh account and an API access token. Generate the token in the Pushwoosh Control Panel under Settings, then API Access, with Generate New Token: pick the token type, give it a name, click Generate and copy it. In Make, add a Pushwoosh module, click Create a connection and paste the token. The same connection then serves every Pushwoosh module in your scenarios. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name makes the connection easy to spot later.
03Can Pushwoosh trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No, because Pushwoosh has no trigger module in Make, so it cannot start a scenario by itself. Start the scenario with a trigger from another app, such as your shop or your CRM, and place Pushwoosh after it. You can also let Make run the scenario on a schedule, every 15 minutes by default, or as often as once a minute on a paid plan. If you need the fastest start, pick an instant trigger in the other app: that app calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens.
04What if a Pushwoosh module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Pushwoosh API with the same connection, so whatever the 5 listed modules do not cover can still run inside your scenario. You write the request yourself, which asks for a look at the Pushwoosh API documentation. Keep in mind that the Make documentation for this app is marked as AI-generated from Pushwoosh sources, so check important details with Pushwoosh directly.
05Make or n8n for Pushwoosh: which one fits?
It depends on the tool your team already builds in. Pushwoosh often has an n8n node as well, so both can send and manage notifications. In Make, you get 5 ready modules, including Make an API Call for the rest, a visual editor and plans that start free. Pick the tool whose editor your team knows and whose plan fits the number of scenarios you plan to run, and compare both on your own use case before committing.
