What you can automate

What can the Robly Make integration do for you?

The Robly Make integration links your Robly email marketing account to Make, so contacts and lists update on their own. You build a scenario, the automation made of modules, where each module is one brick: an action like Create a Contact, or a search like Search Contacts.

Every signup lands in the right list. A form, a shop or a CRM in another app starts the scenario, Create a Contact records the person in Robly, then Add a Contact to the List files them where your next campaign expects them.

Opt-outs stay respected everywhere. When someone asks to stop hearing from you in your helpdesk or CRM, Unsubscribe a Contact passes that choice to Robly, so nobody gets mailed against their wishes.

Lists follow your offers. Launching a new product or event? Create a List prepares the audience, and Search Lists finds an existing one before you duplicate it.

One thing to know: Robly has no trigger in Make, so something else has to start the scenario, either another app or the schedule of Make. For anything the 12 modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Robly API. Before choosing a plan, read Make pricing; if you already use n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison covers the differences, and Make training helps you go further.

Connect

How do you connect Robly to Make?

  1. 01

    Grab your API credentials in Robly

    In Robly, open My Account, click Settings, then go to API Details. Copy both the API ID and the API key shown there. You need an active Robly account and its API key for this step.

  2. 02

    Add a Robly module in Make

    Inside your scenario, search for Robly, pick any module, and click Create a connection. A connection is your Robly account linked to Make once, then reused by every Robly module you add later.

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Give the connection a clear name in Connection name if you like, it is optional. Paste the API ID and API key you copied from Robly, then confirm. The module is then ready to fill.

First scenario

Your first scenario: new signups into Robly

GoalWhen a lead signs up in another app, Make creates the contact in Robly and puts them in the right list.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since Robly has no trigger, start with the app where your leads arrive, such as your form tool.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Contact

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search Robly and pick Create a Contact. Link your account with Create a connection, then map the lead details coming from the first module.

  3. 03

    File the contact in a list

    Add Add a Contact to the List after it. Map the contact from the previous module and choose the list; Make shows the lists it can read once the connection exists.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and submit a test lead. Open each module to read the bundle it received, a bundle being one item passed along, here one contact. Check the person now appears in Robly.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it 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 Robly modules do

Robly gives you 12 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Robly1

Add a Contact to the List

Action

In Make“Adds an existing contact to the list.”

Places someone already in Robly into one of your lists, so the right campaign reaches them without a manual import.

When to use it
right after Create a Contact, or when a customer buys a product tied to a dedicated newsletter.
Watch out
it expects an existing contact, so create or find the person first in the same scenario.
Robly2

Create a Contact

Action

In Make“Creates a new contact.”

Records a brand new person in Robly from data another app sends, which saves you retyping every signup by hand.

When to use it
a form, a checkout or a webinar registration produces a lead you want to reach by email.
Watch out
if that person may already exist, run Get a Contact or Search Contacts before it and use Update a Contact instead.
Robly3

Create a List

Action

In Make“Creates a new list.”

Opens a fresh list in Robly straight from your scenario, giving each new audience its own home from the start.

When to use it
a new event, product line or client project appears in another tool and needs its own mailing audience.
Watch out
check with Search Lists first, or each run can leave you with duplicate lists under the same name.
Robly4

Delete a Contact

Action

In Make“Deletes an existing contact.”

Removes a contact from Robly entirely, which keeps your account clean when a person must disappear from your records.

When to use it
a data deletion request comes in through your support tool or CRM.
Watch out
check you target the right contact first; if the person only wants fewer emails, Unsubscribe a Contact is the safer choice.
Robly5

Get a Contact

Action

In Make“Retrieves an existing contact.”

Fetches the details of one known contact, so the next modules can reuse what Robly already holds about them.

When to use it
before updating someone, to compare what is stored with what just arrived from your CRM.
Watch out
it targets a single person you can identify; to look through many contacts, Search Contacts fits better.
Robly6

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Lets you call any endpoint of the Robly API with the connection you already set up, covering what the other 11 modules leave out.

When to use it
you need a Robly feature that no listed module offers and you know which endpoint handles it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Robly API documentation open while you build it.
Robly7

Remove a Contact from the List

Action

In Make“Removes an existing contact from the list.”

Takes a person out of one list while keeping them in Robly and in their other lists, so segments stay accurate.

When to use it
a trial user becomes a paying customer and should leave the onboarding list.
Watch out
this is not an unsubscribe; the person can still receive mail through any other list they belong to.
Robly8

Unsubscribe a Contact

Action

In Make“Unsubscribes an existing contact.”

Marks a contact as unsubscribed in Robly, which honors an opt-out collected somewhere else in your stack.

When to use it
a customer ticks "no marketing emails" in your CRM, account settings or support chat.
Watch out
the contact stays in Robly; pick Delete a Contact only when the request is to erase the data altogether.
Robly9

Update a Contact

Action

In Make“Updates an existing contact.”

Rewrites the stored details of an existing contact, so Robly reflects the latest name or data held in your other tools.

When to use it
a customer edits their profile in your shop or CRM and the change should reach your email audience.
Watch out
the contact has to exist already; find them with Get a Contact or Search Contacts earlier in the flow.
Robly10

Update a List

Action

In Make“Updates an existing list.”

Changes the settings of a list that already exists in Robly, keeping its name aligned with the project it serves.

When to use it
an event or product is renamed in your project tool and the matching list should follow.
Watch out
identify the right list first with Search Lists, since editing the wrong one affects every campaign sent to it.
Robly11

Search Contacts

Search

In Make“Searches for existing contacts or lists them all.”

Looks up contacts matching your criteria, or returns all of them, so you can check who is in Robly before acting.

When to use it
to avoid duplicates before Create a Contact, or to export contacts toward a spreadsheet or CRM.
Watch out
it can return zero, one or many bundles, and each following module then runs once per contact found.
Robly12

Search Lists

Search

In Make“Searches for existing lists or lists them all.”

Finds the lists matching your criteria, or all of them, giving later modules the exact list to work with.

When to use it
before Create a List, to reuse an audience that already exists instead of creating a twin.
Watch out
when nothing matches, no bundle comes out and the modules after it do not run at all.

FAQ

Robly and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Robly Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Robly is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan, like the other 3,000+ standard apps. The Free plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs and 5 minutes of execution per run. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run on one bundle. Your Robly subscription is separate and depends on Robly itself.
02What does the Robly Make integration need to connect?
It needs an active Robly account and its API credentials. In your Robly settings, open the API Details section and copy two values, the API ID and the API key. Then, in Make, add any Robly module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want, and paste both values. That single connection serves every Robly module across all your scenarios, so you only set it up once and never repeat it per module.
03Does the Robly Make integration react in real time?
No, because Robly has no trigger module in Make, scheduled or instant. The scenario has to be started by something else. The usual choice is a trigger from another app, such as a form tool or a CRM, followed by Robly actions. The other option is the schedule of Make on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, with 1 minute possible on paid plans. Whether that feels immediate then depends on the app that starts the flow.
04What if a Robly module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Robly API with the connection you already have, so there is no second setup. It asks you to write the request yourself, which is more technical than the other 11 modules. Also note that the Make documentation for Robly is marked as AI-generated from the official Robly documentation and may contain mistakes, so check important details with Robly directly.
05Is Make or n8n better for Robly?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. Make offers Robly as a standard app with 12 ready modules, 10 actions and 2 searches, plus Make an API Call for the rest. The same app often exists as an n8n node too, so the practical question is which platform already hosts your other automations and which interface your team knows. Compare both on those criteria rather than on the Robly side alone, since the Robly actions you need are covered in Make.
