What you can automate

What can the Scan2Scan Make integration do for you?

The Scan2Scan Make integration links your Scan2Scan account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger, a search or an action. With it, Make can spot new purchases, read events and update your account without you copying anything by hand.

A purchase log that fills itself. Put Watch for New Purchases at the start of a scenario and every new purchase becomes a bundle, meaning one item passed from module to module. From there, you can send it to the next app in your stack instead of checking Scan2Scan by hand.

A quick read on account activity. List Events pulls the events Make can see on your account. Paired with the trigger, it gives you the context around each new purchase in one run.

Account upkeep without logging in. Update Account Info and Request a Scan2Scan API Key handle the admin side, so a change decided elsewhere lands in Scan2Scan by itself.

Be aware of one limit: Make's own documentation for Scan2Scan is marked as limited, because little public information exists about the app. Field names and returned data are best discovered with a test run. If you get stuck, the Make troubleshooting guide covers the usual errors, and the Make training walks you through the editor from scratch. Still weighing tools? Read n8n vs Make before you commit.

Connect

How do you connect Scan2Scan to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Scan2Scan module

    Open your scenario, click the +, search for Scan2Scan and pick any of its modules. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your Scan2Scan account linked to Make once, then reused by every Scan2Scan module.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a name if you like, handy when you manage several accounts. Then follow what Scan2Scan asks for: either authorize Make on the Scan2Scan page that opens, or paste the key the app gives you.

  3. 03

    Save and check the fields

    Click Save. Once the connection exists, Make can read your account and fills the module with what it finds. If the module fields stay empty, the connection is the first thing to recheck.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Scan2Scan

GoalWhen a new purchase shows up in Scan2Scan, Make lists the account events so you can review both together.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + in the middle of the editor. This first slot holds the module that starts everything.

  2. 02

    Add the purchase trigger

    Search for Scan2Scan, pick Watch for New Purchases and select your connection, or click Create a connection if you have none yet. Fill the fields Make shows you.

  3. 03

    Chain List Events

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add List Events. Where a field accepts data from the trigger, map it by picking the value from the purchase bundle.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario a single time, and you can open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received. That is how you learn what Scan2Scan actually returns.

  5. 05

    Set the schedule and switch it on

    Click the clock on the first module to choose how often Make checks for purchases. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. Then flip the switch to turn the scenario on.

Triggers

What starts a Scan2Scan scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Scan2Scan. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Scan2Scan as soon as it happens.

Scan2Scan1Watch for New Purchases

Watch for New Purchases

triggerIn the docs only

This trigger hands your scenario each new purchase recorded in Scan2Scan, one bundle per purchase, so the next modules can act on it without you watching the account.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and at least 15 minutes apart on the Free plan, 1 minute on paid plans.
When to use it
whenever a purchase should kick off something elsewhere, such as a log, a message to your team or a follow-up task.
Watch out
the documentation gives no detail on what a purchase contains, so run the scenario once and read the bundle before mapping anything.
Modules

Everything the Scan2Scan modules can do

Scan2Scan gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Scan2Scan1

List Events

SearchIn the docs only

You get the events of your Scan2Scan account back as separate bundles, ready to be filtered, stored or sent to another app further down the scenario.

When to use it
after a purchase trigger, or on its own, when you need a snapshot of recent account activity.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many bundles, and each bundle costs an operation in every module after it.
Scan2Scan2

Request a Scan2Scan API Key

ActionIn the docs only

This action asks Scan2Scan for an API key straight from your scenario, so a new key can be issued as one step of a larger flow, with no manual request on your side.

When to use it
when a setup process in another tool needs a Scan2Scan key at a given step.
Watch out
a key is sensitive, so avoid sending it to a shared channel or a spreadsheet many people can open.
Scan2Scan3

Update Account Info

ActionIn the docs only

Your Scan2Scan account details get changed by the scenario itself, which keeps them in line with the source you trust, such as a CRM or a form, without a manual edit.

When to use it
when a change made in another tool should also show up on the Scan2Scan account.
Watch out
the name suggests the update replaces what is there, so test it with Run once on a value you can restore before switching the scenario on.

FAQ

Common questions about Scan2Scan and Make

01Is the Scan2Scan Make integration free?
Yes, Scan2Scan is a standard app in Make, so all 4 of its modules are available from the Free plan. That plan has its own limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 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 allow 40 minutes of execution. Make counts usage in operations, one per module per bundle, so a busy purchase trigger uses up your quota faster.
02What do you need to connect Scan2Scan to Make?
You need a Scan2Scan account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no special prerequisite for Scan2Scan. Add any Scan2Scan module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want, then either authorize Make on the Scan2Scan page or paste the key the app provides, and click Save. The connection is created once and every Scan2Scan module in your scenarios reuses it. Since the official documentation is marked as limited, run a test right after connecting to confirm Make can read your account.
03Does the Scan2Scan trigger in Make react in real time?
No. Watch for New Purchases is a scheduled trigger: Make checks Scan2Scan on the scenario's schedule instead of being called the moment a purchase happens. A new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan, 15 minutes is also the shortest gap allowed between two scheduled runs, while paid plans go down to 1 minute. So a new purchase reaches your scenario at the next check, not instantly. If you need a faster reaction, a paid plan with a shorter interval is the lever Make gives you.
04What if the Scan2Scan module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The Scan2Scan app in Make has 4 modules and no Make an API Call module, so you cannot send a custom request to Scan2Scan through it. Make also marks its Scan2Scan documentation as limited, which means some app features may simply not be covered. In that case, check whether another app in your stack can hold the data or do the job, then connect it in the same scenario. For a case that stays blocked, the team behind this page can look at your setup with you.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Scan2Scan?
It depends on your criteria. On Make, Scan2Scan comes with 4 ready modules, including a purchase trigger, and it works from the Free plan, which makes it easy to try in the visual editor. Many apps also have an n8n node, but this page does not confirm one exists for Scan2Scan, so check that first. Then compare how each tool fits the rest of your stack, the way you prefer to build and how your usage is counted. The n8n vs Make comparison on this site sets those criteria side by side.
