What can the SamCart Make integration do for you?
The SamCart Make integration lets Make notice what happens in your store (a new order, a refund, a changed subscription) and pass it to the rest of your tools. You build a scenario, which is the automation itself: a chain of modules, each one a single brick such as a trigger or an action.
Refunds your support team hears about. Watch Refunds picks up each new refund, and the next module in the scenario can post it wherever your support team works, so nobody learns about it from an angry email.
A clean customer record for every sale. Start with Watch Orders, add Get a Customer to pull the buyer's full record, then send it to your CRM or a spreadsheet. Each order travels as one bundle, meaning one item passed from module to module.
Subscription changes that reach the right person. Watch Subscriptions fires when a subscription status changes, which is the moment a retention email or an account manager should step in.
Know the limits before you plan. All 6 SamCart triggers are scheduled: Make checks SamCart on the scenario's schedule rather than being called the second something happens. The three Get modules only retrieve data, judging by their descriptions, so nothing in the list creates or edits a record in SamCart. For any other endpoint of the SamCart API, Make an API Call uses the same connection.

How do you connect SamCart to Make?
- 01
Add a SamCart module
Open your scenario in Make, add any SamCart module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your SamCart account linked to Make once and reused by every SamCart module afterwards.
- 02
Paste your API key
Give the connection a recognizable label in Connection name if you like; that field is optional. Then paste the key you received from the SamCart Support Team into the API Key field.
- 03
Save and confirm
Click Save. If Make asks you to authenticate your account and confirm the access, accept it. The connection then appears in the dropdown of every SamCart module you add.
Your first scenario with SamCart and Make
GoalWhen a new order lands in SamCart, Make fetches the full customer record behind it.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module.
- 02
Add Watch Orders
Search for SamCart, pick Watch Orders and choose your connection, or click Create a connection if this is your first SamCart module.
- 03
Chain Get a Customer
Click the + to the right of Watch Orders, choose Get a Customer and map the customer value from the order bundle into its field.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, place a test order if needed, then open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received and check the customer came through.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on Watch Orders to set the schedule (every 15 minutes by default), then turn the scenario on. Each check now picks up the orders that arrived since the last one.
SamCart triggers in Make
6 modules start a scenario when something happens in SamCart. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by SamCart as soon as it happens.
Watch Subscriptions
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a status of subscription is changed.”
Hear about it whenever a subscription changes status in SamCart, so the people who care about renewals and cancellations stop finding out late. Each changed subscription reaches the next module as its own bundle.
Watch Orders
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new order is created.”
Turn every new SamCart order into the starting point of a scenario, from a thank-you sequence to a line in your sales sheet. It is the natural first trigger for a new SamCart scenario.
Watch Refunds
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new refund is created.”
Catch each new refund recorded in SamCart and send it where it matters, so finance and support see the same event. The trigger only looks at refunds, which keeps the scenario quiet the rest of the time.
Watch Products
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new product is created.”
Keep your other tools aware of your catalog: this trigger picks up each product newly created in SamCart and hands it to the next module. Useful when the product list lives in several places and drifts apart.
Watch Customers
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new customer is created.”
Get every new SamCart customer into your mailing list or CRM without exporting anything, since the trigger passes each fresh customer record along at Make's next check.
Watch Charges
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new charge is created.”
Follow the money itself: this trigger returns each new charge created in SamCart, which gives your finance tools a feed of payments rather than orders.
What the SamCart modules can do
SamCart gives you 4 modules in 2 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Searches
3 modulesGet a Charge
ActionIn Make“Retrieve a specific charge by ID.”
Pull the full details of one SamCart charge by its ID, so a later module can work with the exact payment rather than a summary.
Get a Customer
ActionIn Make“Retrieve a specific customer.”
Fetch one specific SamCart customer and bring the whole record into your scenario, ready to be mapped into a CRM or an email tool.
Get a Failed Charge
ActionIn Make“Retrieve a specific failed charge.”
Look up one failed charge in SamCart so your scenario can react to a payment that did not go through, instead of discovering it later in a report.
Other
1 moduleMake an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Reach any endpoint of the SamCart API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, when none of the ready-made modules covers what you need.
