SIGNL4 Make integrationAutomate SIGNL4 with Make.

What if the incident spotted in one tool reached your on-call team in SIGNL4 by itself? The SIGNL4 Make integration gives you 2 action modules: one sends an alert, one resolves it. This page shows how to link your team, then builds a first scenario with you.

What you can automate

What can the SIGNL4 Make integration do for you?

The SIGNL4 Make integration lets a Make scenario, meaning the automation you build in Make as a chain of bricks, raise an alert for your SIGNL4 team or close one that is no longer needed. SIGNL4 sits at the end of the chain: another app spots the problem, and Make passes the word on.

A form that turns into an alert. A support request marked urgent lands in your helpdesk, and Send SIGNL4 Alert puts it in front of the people on duty, with the details copied from the request. Each brick of a scenario is called a module, and this one is the heart of the app.

An alert that closes itself. When the tool that raised the problem later reports it as fixed, Resolve SIGNL4 Alert closes the matching alert, so nobody chases an incident that is already over.

A pair that follows the whole incident. Two scenarios can split the work: one opens alerts, the other resolves them. Your data can come from a table such as the one described on the Airtable Make integration page.

What Make does not offer here: SIGNL4 has no trigger in Make, so nothing starts from SIGNL4 itself, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach other parts of the product. The app also exists on n8n, see the SIGNL4 n8n integration, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a tool.

Connect

How do you connect SIGNL4 to Make?

  1. 01

    Create your SIGNL4 account

    Sign up for SIGNL4 if your team does not have an account yet. A connection in Make is your account linked once and reused by every SIGNL4 module, so this step happens a single time.

  2. 02

    Find the team secret in your email

    Open the Sign up complete email SIGNL4 sends you. It contains a link shaped like https://connect.signl4.com/webhook/<TeamSecret>. The last part of that link is your team secret: copy it.

  3. 03

    Paste it into the SIGNL4 module

    In your scenario, add a SIGNL4 module, click Create a connection and paste the team secret into the matching field. Make now knows which team should receive the alerts sent by this scenario.

First scenario

Your first scenario with SIGNL4

GoalWhen a problem shows up in another app, Make sends a SIGNL4 alert to your team.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where the problem appears first, such as your helpdesk or your form tool, and choose its module that spots new items.

  2. 02

    Add Send SIGNL4 Alert

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for SIGNL4 and pick Send SIGNL4 Alert. Create the connection with your team secret if this is your first SIGNL4 module.

  3. 03

    Map the alert content

    Fill the module fields with data from the first module: the subject of the ticket, the name of the customer. Each item passed along is called a bundle, one ticket or one form entry.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to run the scenario one time. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received, and check that the alert reached your SIGNL4 team.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the clock on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on, and each run counts operations, one per module per bundle, on your plan.

Modules

What the SIGNL4 modules do

SIGNL4 gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

SIGNL41

Resolve SIGNL4 Alert

Action

In Make“Resolve an alert in SIGNL4.”

Closes an alert in SIGNL4 once the problem behind it is gone, so your team stops working on something already settled. It acts on one alert per bundle.

When to use it
in a scenario that listens for the “fixed” signal from the tool that first reported the incident, such as a ticket moved to solved.
Watch out
Make must know which alert to close, so map the reference from an earlier module rather than typing it by hand.
SIGNL42

Send SIGNL4 Alert

Action

In Make“Send alert to SIGNL4 (https://www.signl4.com) team.”

Pushes a new alert to your SIGNL4 team, carrying the details you map from earlier modules, so the right people hear about the incident without anyone copying it over.

When to use it
right after the module that detects a problem elsewhere, for example an urgent support request or a failed order.
Watch out
every bundle that reaches this module sends one alert, so filter the upstream data first if you only want the serious cases.

FAQ

SIGNL4 and Make: common questions

01Is the SIGNL4 Make integration free?
Yes, SIGNL4 is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, runs of up to 5 minutes 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 runs of up to 40 minutes. Usage is counted in operations each month. Your SIGNL4 subscription is a separate matter.
02What do you need to connect SIGNL4 to Make?
A SIGNL4 account and its team secret. After signing up, SIGNL4 sends a Sign up complete email containing a link that ends with the team secret. Copy that last part and paste it into the field of the SIGNL4 module in Make when you create the connection. If the email is missing, check your spam folder. The documentation lists no other prerequisite, and the connection is reused by both SIGNL4 modules.
03Does SIGNL4 have a trigger in Make?
No, SIGNL4 has no trigger in Make, so a scenario cannot start from SIGNL4 itself. Start it from another app instead: the module that spots a new ticket, a new form entry or a new row. You can also rely on scheduling, the clock on the first module, which runs a new scenario every 15 minutes by default. Whether the start is instant or scheduled then depends on that other app's module, not on SIGNL4.
04What if the SIGNL4 module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on the task. Make offers two SIGNL4 modules, Send SIGNL4 Alert and Resolve SIGNL4 Alert, and no Make an API Call module to reach anything else in SIGNL4. If your need goes beyond sending and closing alerts, look at the SIGNL4 node on n8n or ask the team for help designing the flow. The documentation mentions no numeric limit on either module. Before building around a gap, check whether sending and closing alerts already covers your case.
05Should you use Make or n8n for SIGNL4?
It depends on where the rest of your automations already run. SIGNL4 is available in Make with two action modules, and it also has an n8n node, so both tools can send alerts to your team. If your monitoring and support scenarios already live in Make, adding SIGNL4 there keeps everything in one editor. If your team works in n8n, the n8n node is the natural home. Compare both on the two integration pages before choosing.
