What you can automate

What can the Restream Make integration do for you?

The Restream Make integration lets Make read your Restream account for you: upcoming, live and finished events, their recordings, and your clip projects. You drop these as modules (the building blocks of an automation) into a scenario, the automation you build in Make, and the results flow on to your other tools.

An archive that fills itself. Search event history lists finished and missed events, Search event recordings finds the video and audio files of one of them, and Get a recording download URL hands you a temporary link. A podcast producer can push that link to a storage app or a shared sheet without opening Restream.

A live board for the team. Search upcoming events and Search in-progress events show what is scheduled and what is on air, so a community manager can post a reminder or update a planning table from the same data.

Clips ready for social. Search clip projects and Get a clip project return your projects with their clips and posted clips, and Get a clip download URL fetches the file for the social media editor.

One limit to know upfront: Restream has no trigger module in Make, so the app never starts a scenario by itself. You start it on a schedule or from another app. Make also flags its Restream documentation as AI-generated, so check important details against Restream. The Make training covers these basics, Make pricing explains what counts on your plan, and n8n vs Make helps if you are weighing both tools.

Connect

How do you connect Restream to Make?

  1. 01

    Register an application in Restream

    Make needs your own Restream application. On the Applications page of Restream, click Create New, enter a display name, and paste https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/restream as the callback URI.

  2. 02

    Copy the Client ID and secret

    The app settings page shows the Client ID: copy it. The Client secret is masked, so click the field to reveal it, then copy it too. Keep both at hand for the next step.

  3. 03

    Create the connection in Make

    Add any Restream module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Restream account linked to Make once, then reused by every Restream module. Name it if you like, paste the two credentials and follow the on-screen instructions.

First scenario

Your first scenario: fetch the recordings of finished events

GoalOn each scheduled run, Make reads your Restream event history, finds the recordings of those events and gets a download link for each file.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Search for Restream, pick Search event history and create your connection when Make asks for it.

  2. 02

    Add the recordings search

    Click the + on the right of the first module and choose Search event recordings. Map the event coming from the history search, so Make looks up the files of that exact event.

  3. 03

    Ask for a download link

    Add Get a recording download URL after it and map the recording from the previous module. Each bundle (one item passing between modules, here one recording) now leaves with a temporary link.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make executes the scenario one time, and you can open each module to read the bundles it received. Check that the links point to the recordings you expected.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as an operation, the unit Make bills on your plan.

Modules

What the Restream modules do

Restream gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Restream1

Get a clip download URL

Action

In Make“Returns a temporary download URL for a specific clip.”

Hands you a temporary link to download one specific clip, so the file can travel to a storage app, a video editor or a colleague's inbox.

When to use it
right after Get a clip project, once you know which clip the social team wants to publish next.
Watch out
the link is temporary, so send or store the file in the same run instead of saving the URL for later.
Restream2

Get a clip project

Action

In Make“Returns a single clip project with its clips and posted clips.”

Opens one clip project and brings back everything inside it: the clips it holds and the ones already posted. That gives you a clear view of what is left to share.

When to use it
after Search clip projects, when you need the detail of a single project to decide which clips to download.
Watch out
posted and unposted clips come back together, so add a filter if you only want the ones still waiting.
Restream3

Get an event

Action

In Make“Returns a single event by ID.”

Retrieves one Restream event from its ID, so your scenario works on the exact broadcast you care about rather than on a whole list.

When to use it
when another module or app already gives you the event ID, for example a row in a planning sheet, and you want its details before posting an announcement.
Watch out
without a valid ID this module has nothing to fetch; use one of the event searches first if you do not have it.
Restream4

Get a recording download URL

Action

In Make“Generates a temporary download URL for a specific recording file.”

Generates a temporary link for one recording file, which turns a finished broadcast into a file you can archive, transcribe or share with the team.

When to use it
after Search event recordings, to pass each recording on to a storage app or a transcription tool.
Watch out
treat the link as short-lived and move the file in the same scenario run.
Restream5

Make an API call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Calls any endpoint of the Restream API with the connection you already set up, which covers whatever the nine other modules leave out.

When to use it
when the task you have in mind has no dedicated module and the Restream API documentation shows an endpoint for it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself here, so read the Restream API reference before you map anything into it.
Restream6

Search clip projects

Search

In Make“Lists clip projects.”

Lists your clip projects, one bundle per project, so a scenario can go through all of them in turn instead of one you picked by hand.

When to use it
as the entry point of a clip workflow, before Get a clip project or Get a clip download URL.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many projects, and every following module runs once per project, which adds operations.
Restream7

Search event history

Search

In Make“Returns a list of finished and missed events.”

Brings back your past events, both those that went live and those that were missed. It is the natural start for any follow-up work after a broadcast.

When to use it
to feed an archive, a report of missed sessions or a recordings workflow like the first scenario above.
Watch out
finished and missed events arrive together, so filter them before sending anything to your audience.
Restream8

Search event recordings

Search

In Make“Returns recordings (video and audio) for a specific event.”

Finds the video and audio recordings of one given event, so you can pick up every file the broadcast produced in a single step.

When to use it
after Search event history or Get an event, when you want to save or share what was recorded.
Watch out
one event can return several files, video and audio alike, and each one becomes its own bundle down the line.
Restream9

Search in-progress events

Search

In Make“Returns a list of currently in-progress events.”

Tells you which events are live on Restream at the moment the scenario runs, handy for a status board or a heads-up to the team.

When to use it
to post a message in a team channel or update a dashboard when a broadcast is on air.
Watch out
Make only sees what is live when the scheduled run happens, so a very short broadcast can fall between two runs.
Restream10

Search upcoming events

Search

In Make“Returns a list of upcoming events.”

Lists the events you have planned in Restream, which lets you share your broadcast calendar without typing it twice.

When to use it
to copy new sessions into a shared planning sheet or to prepare reminder posts for your community.
Watch out
a run can bring back events you already copied in a previous run, so check your destination sheet to avoid duplicates.

FAQ

Restream and Make: common questions

01Is the Restream Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Restream is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two 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, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits, meaning operations, per month. You still need your own Restream account, and its subscription is set by Restream, not by Make.
02What is needed to connect Restream to Make?
A Restream account and an application registered in it. On the Restream Applications page, you create a new application, enter a display name and the callback URI given in the Make documentation, then copy the Client ID and the Client secret, which you reveal by clicking the masked field. In Make, you add a Restream module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the two credentials. The connection is then reused by all 10 Restream modules in your scenarios.
03Can a Restream event start a Make scenario automatically?
No. Restream has no trigger module in Make, so nothing in Restream can launch a scenario on its own. You have two ways around it. The first is scheduling: the clock on the first module runs the scenario every 15 minutes by default, and a Restream search such as Search event history or Search upcoming events can sit in that first position. The second is to start from another app's trigger and call Restream modules afterwards. Either way, Make checks Restream when the scenario runs, not the moment an event changes.
04What if a Restream module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API call. This module reaches any endpoint of the Restream API with the connection you already created, so a task not covered by the 5 actions and 5 searches can still be done from the same scenario. You write the request yourself, so the Restream API reference becomes your guide. Keep in mind that Make marks its Restream documentation as AI-generated content that may contain mistakes: when a detail matters, confirm it with Restream directly.
05Should Restream be automated with Make or n8n?
It depends on your criteria, not on a winner. On Make, Restream comes with 10 modules focused on reading events, recordings and clip projects, plus Make an API call for everything else, and it is available from the Free plan. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for Restream and what it covers before you decide. Then compare how each tool fits the rest of your stack and your team's habits. The n8n vs Make comparison linked above goes through those criteria in detail.
