What you can automate

What does the SambaNova AI Make integration do?

It lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of bricks called modules, send text to a SambaNova language model and receive the answer. You pick where the text comes from, SambaNova writes the reply, and Make passes it to the next app, all without writing a single line of code.

Replies drafted for you. A support request lands in another app, Create a Chat Completion turns it into a first answer, and the next module files it where your agents already work. The model writes, a person decides.

Summaries of long text. A sales team can pass meeting notes or a long email thread to the same module and get back a short recap ready to paste into a record.

A clear view of the catalog. List Cloud Models returns the models SambaNova Cloud offers, with the context length and the token price of each, so an ops lead can compare before choosing.

What the app does not do: it has no trigger, so SambaNova never starts a scenario by itself. Another app or the Make clock starts the flow. For endpoints the listed modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API. The same app often exists as an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, and the Make review or the Make training help you get started.

Connect

How do you connect SambaNova AI to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    You need an active SambaNova AI account. Open the APIs section from the main menu of that account and copy the API key shown on the page. Keep it handy, Make will ask for it in a moment.

  2. 02

    Add a SambaNova AI module

    In your Make scenario, add any SambaNova AI module and click Create a connection. A connection is your SambaNova account linked to Make once, then reused by every SambaNova module.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a name in Connection name if you like, it is optional. Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions on screen, then save. The module can now talk to SambaNova.

First scenario

Your first scenario with SambaNova AI

GoalWhen new text arrives in another app, Make asks SambaNova AI for a reply and hands it to the next step.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since SambaNova has no trigger, this first module comes from the app where your text lives.

  2. 02

    Pick the starting app

    Search that app by name, choose the module that brings in the text, such as new form answers or new emails, and link its account. Each item it returns is a bundle, one piece of data passed along.

  3. 03

    Add Create a Chat Completion

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search SambaNova AI and pick Create a Chat Completion. Connect your key, then map the text from the first module into the message.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time and shows the bundles each module received, so you can read the reply SambaNova wrote before anything goes live.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the clock on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From there Make checks the source app on that schedule and sends each new text to SambaNova.

Modules

What SambaNova AI modules can you use in Make?

SambaNova AI gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

SambaNova AI1

Create a Chat Completion

Action

In Make“Creates a chat completion for input messages using one of SambaNova's blazing-fast LLMs”

You send one or more messages and get back an answer written by one of the fast language models SambaNova hosts. It is the module that turns raw text into a draft, a summary or a classification.

When to use it
a ticket, a note or a form answer reaches your scenario and you want a readable response before it moves to the next app.
Watch out
each run counts as an operation on your Make plan, so filter out empty or duplicate texts first.
SambaNova AI2

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

This module opens the rest of the SambaNova API to your scenario, using the same connection as the other modules. You get access to endpoints that Make has not turned into a ready module.

When to use it
Create a Chat Completion or List Cloud Models does not cover what you need and the SambaNova documentation describes the endpoint.
Watch out
you write the request yourself here, so keep the vendor documentation open while you build it.
SambaNova AI3

List Cloud Models

Search

In Make“Lists models available on SambaNova Cloud along with the each model's supported context length and input/output token price.”

Ask SambaNova Cloud which models it offers and you get one bundle per model, with its supported context length and its input and output token price. Handy to decide which model fits a job.

When to use it
before choosing a model, or to feed a sheet that tracks the catalog for your team.
Watch out
as a search, it can return several bundles, and every following module runs once per bundle.

FAQ

SambaNova AI and Make: common questions

01Is the SambaNova AI Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. SambaNova AI is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most and files up to 5 MB. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and allow unlimited active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations each month. Your SambaNova AI subscription is a separate matter: check their pricing page.
02What do you need to connect SambaNova AI to Make?
An active SambaNova AI account and its API key. You find the key in the APIs section of the main menu and copy it from that page. In Make, add a SambaNova AI module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then paste the key. That single connection then serves every SambaNova module in all your scenarios, so you only do this once per account. If the key changes later, update the connection once and every module follows.
03Can SambaNova AI trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No. The app has no trigger module, so it cannot start a scenario on its own. The flow begins elsewhere: a trigger from another app, such as a new email or a new form answer, or the schedule of the first module, every 15 minutes by default. SambaNova then works as a step inside the scenario, answering each bundle the first module passes along. Before switching on, click Run once: Make runs the scenario a single time and shows you what SambaNova answered.
04What if a SambaNova AI module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the SambaNova API with the connection you already set up, so you are not limited to Create a Chat Completion and List Cloud Models. Keep in mind that each call still counts as an operation on your Make plan. Keep in mind that the Make documentation for this app is AI-generated from the vendor documentation and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with SambaNova AI directly before you rely on them.
05Should you use Make or n8n with SambaNova AI?
It depends on your setup rather than on the app. SambaNova AI is available in Make with 3 modules, and the same app often has an n8n node as well. If your other automations already run in Make, keeping SambaNova there avoids splitting your flows across two tools. Compare the modules each side offers for your use case before choosing, and pick the tool your team already knows. The choice is about fit, not about one tool being better.
