What can the Sendle Make integration do for you?
The Sendle Make integration links your Sendle account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of steps) out of modules (one brick per step). Sendle brings four action modules, so your orders can become parcel bookings without anyone copying an address.
Book the parcel the moment a sale lands. An online shop receives an order in another app, and Create an Order books the Sendle shipment to that delivery address. Nobody retypes the customer's details.
Send customers their tracking link. Get an Order returns the order status, the public tracking URL and the metadata you attached when you created it. Map that URL into an email or a spreadsheet row and support stops answering the same question.
Cancel cleanly when a sale falls through. When a refund is approved elsewhere, Cancel an Order cancels the matching Sendle shipment in the same run, so your shipping list stays in line with your sales.
Know the limits before you start. Sendle has no trigger in Make, so something else has to start the scenario: another app's event or a schedule. Anything the three order modules skip goes through Make an API Call. If you are still choosing a platform, the Make review and the n8n vs Make comparison lay out the trade-offs, and Make pricing explains how runs are counted.
How do you connect Sendle to Make?
- 01
Add a Sendle module
Open your Make account, drop any Sendle module into a scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Sendle account linked to Make once, then reused by every Sendle module you add later.
- 02
Name the connection
The Connection name field is optional, but fill it anyway. A label such as Sendle main store tells you at a glance which account a module uses when you run more than one.
- 03
Paste your credentials
Enter the authentication credentials you copied from your Sendle account, including your API key, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen. Save, and the module is ready to use.
Your first scenario: ship every new order with Sendle
GoalWhen a new order arrives in your store app, Make books it with Sendle and fetches the tracking link.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the module from the app where your orders start, since Sendle itself cannot open a flow.
- 02
Add Create an Order
Click the + to the right of that first module, search for Sendle and choose Create an Order. Click Create a connection if you have not linked your account yet.
- 03
Map the delivery details
Fill the Sendle fields by mapping data from the first module, such as the customer's delivery address. Each order flows through as one bundle, meaning one item passed from module to module.
- 04
Fetch the tracking link
Add Get an Order after it and map the order returned by Create an Order. You now hold the status and the public tracking URL, ready for an email or a sheet.
- 05
Test with Run once
Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Open each module's bubble to read the bundles it received and confirm Sendle booked the right address.
- 06
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default) and turn the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation, which is what your Make plan meters.
Sendle modules in Make
Sendle gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Cancel an Order
ActionIn Make“Cancels the given order.”
Cancels a Sendle shipment you booked earlier, so your Sendle account matches what actually sold. You give it the order and Make cancels it on your account.
Create an Order
ActionIn Make“Creates an order to ship a parcel to the given delivery address.”
Books a new shipment in Sendle for a parcel going to the delivery address you map in. This is the module that replaces typing each shipment by hand in Sendle.
Get an Order
ActionIn Make“Returns the given order including its status, the public tracking URL, and the metadata you passed when creating it.”
Reads one existing Sendle order and hands back its status, its public tracking URL and the metadata you attached at creation. Use it when you need information about a shipment rather than changing it.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Opens the rest of the Sendle API to your scenario, using the same connection as the other modules. You write the request yourself, which gives you room beyond creating, reading and cancelling orders.
