What you can automate

What can the Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service Make integration do?

It lets Make, a no-code automation tool, send work to Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service without you opening the app. You build a scenario, meaning the automation itself, out of modules: small blocks that each do one job. This app brings three of them, all actions, so something else has to start the scenario.

Indexing requests from a list. A new row in a spreadsheet or a new page in your CMS starts the scenario, and Create an Indexing or Checking Task passes the link to Rapid Indexer. Nobody copies URLs anymore.

A status check you can file away. Once a task exists, Get Task Results reads what Rapid Indexer reports for it, and the next module can write that answer into a sheet or a message for the SEO team.

Anything the two modules leave out. Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Rapid Indexer API with the same account link. It asks you to read the app's API documentation first.

Be aware of one gap: Make's own documentation for this app is marked as limited, so field names and behavior are best confirmed in the editor with a test run. The Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails, and Make pricing explains how runs count against your plan. Weighing another tool? Read n8n vs Make.

Connect

How do you connect Rapid Indexer to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Rapid Indexer module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for Rapid Indexer and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your Rapid Indexer account linked to Make once, and every module of the app reuses it.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Give it a name you will recognize later, such as the client or site it belongs to. This step is optional, yet it saves confusion the day you manage several Rapid Indexer accounts from one Make workspace.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Make then asks you either to approve access on a Rapid Indexer page or to paste a key the app gives you. Do what the window asks, then click Save. The module can now read and send data.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Rapid Indexer

GoalWhen you run the scenario, Make creates a Rapid Indexer task for a link, then reads the results of that task.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

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

  2. 02

    Add the task module

    Search for Rapid Indexer, choose Create an Indexing or Checking Task and pick your connection, or click Create a connection if this is your first time.

  3. 03

    Fill in the task

    Complete the fields the module shows. Start with a single link you know well, so the result is easy to judge when it comes back.

  4. 04

    Read the results

    Click the + on the right of the first module and add Get Task Results. Map what the first module returned into its fields, so it asks about the task you just created.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make executes the scenario one time and shows the bundles, the items each module received. Open them to check what Rapid Indexer answered.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Once the test looks right, swap the test link for the links you really want to send, or each run will resubmit the same one. Then click the clock on the first module (every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation.

Modules

What each Rapid Indexer module does

Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service1

Create an Indexing or Checking Task

ActionIn the docs only

Hands a link to Rapid Indexer as a new task, either to get it indexed or to check it, as the module name says. This is where every Rapid Indexer scenario begins.

When to use it
right after another app produces a new URL, like a published blog post or a row added to a tracking sheet.
Watch out
the documentation lists no fields for this module, so run it once on a test link before connecting it to real data.
Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service2

Get Task Results

ActionIn the docs only

Brings back what Rapid Indexer reports for a task you created, so the outcome lands in your scenario instead of staying inside the app.

When to use it
after Create an Indexing or Checking Task, or in a separate scenario, whenever a team member needs the answer written into a report or a message.
Watch out
nothing in the documentation says how soon results are ready, so check the bundle from a test run before relying on it.
Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service3

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Sends your own request to any endpoint of the Rapid Indexer API, reusing the connection you already created. It fills the gaps the two other modules leave.

When to use it
the feature you need exists in Rapid Indexer, yet neither listed module covers it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the app's API documentation open and test the call with Run once before switching the scenario on.

FAQ

Rapid Indexer and Make: common questions

01Is the Rapid Indexer - Link Indexing Service Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Rapid Indexer is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs no more often than every 15 minutes, stops each run after 5 minutes and caps transfer at 512 MB. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to one minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run. Your Rapid Indexer subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect Rapid Indexer to Make?
A Rapid Indexer account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisites for this app. You add one of its modules, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either approve access on the Rapid Indexer page or paste the key the app provides, and click Save. The same connection then works for all three modules, including Make an API Call, so you only go through these steps once per account.
03Can Rapid Indexer start a Make scenario by itself?
No. The app has no trigger module, so nothing in Rapid Indexer can launch a scenario. Two options remain. You can put a module from another app first, such as a new spreadsheet row, and let it feed Create an Indexing or Checking Task. Or you can rely on the schedule set on the first module, which Make runs every 15 minutes by default. Either way, the Rapid Indexer modules act once the scenario is already running.
04What if a Rapid Indexer module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Rapid Indexer API with the connection you already have, so a feature that the two other modules skip is still within reach. Expect to read the app's API documentation to build the request. Keep in mind that Make marks its own documentation for this app as limited, so a quick Run once on test data is the safest way to confirm what each module expects and returns.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Rapid Indexer?
It depends on the tool your team already uses. On Make, this app offers 3 action modules and no trigger, and Make an API Call covers the rest of its API. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check what that node offers before choosing. The deciding factors are the modules each side provides for your case and which editor your team is comfortable with, not a ranking between the two platforms.
