What can the SlimCRM Make integration do for you?
The SlimCRM Make integration links your SlimCRM account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules chained one after the other. A module is a single brick, either a trigger that starts the run, an action that writes in SlimCRM, or a search that finds records. You choose the bricks and Make runs them for you.
No lead left without a next step. Watch Lead picks up leads from SlimCRM and Create a Task puts a follow-up on a salesperson's list, so nobody has to remember to call back.
Invoices your bookkeeper sees without asking. Watch Invoice hands each invoice it finds to the next module, which can add it to a spreadsheet or post it in a team channel, with no numbers copied by hand.
A new hire ready on day one. When Watch Staff picks up a new team member, Create a Task lines up their first onboarding steps in SlimCRM, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
What Make does not do here: none of the 7 triggers is instant, so every run waits for the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default. The official documentation lists the modules without describing them, so test each one with Run once before relying on it. For anything the list misses, Make an API Call reaches the SlimCRM API with the same connection.
Weighing your options? The n8n vs Make comparison puts the two tools side by side. If the editor is new to you, Make training walks through it, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.
How do you connect SlimCRM to Make?
- 01
Add a SlimCRM module
Open a scenario in Make, add any SlimCRM module and click Create a connection. A connection is your SlimCRM account linked to Make once; every SlimCRM module you add later reuses it.
- 02
Name the connection
In the Connection name field, type a label you will recognize later, such as the team that owns the account. The field is optional, but a clear name saves guesswork once several accounts are linked.
- 03
Paste your API token
Enter the API token you generated in SlimCRM, or follow the on-screen instructions, then confirm. Once the connection exists, the module can list the SlimCRM data it is able to read.
Your first scenario: a follow-up task for every new lead
GoalWhen Watch Lead finds a lead in SlimCRM, Make creates a follow-up task for it in SlimCRM.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module, the trigger.
- 02
Add Watch Lead
Search for SlimCRM, pick Watch Lead and click Create a connection to paste your API token. This scheduled trigger now opens the flow.
- 03
Add Create a Task
Click the + on the right of Watch Lead and choose Create a Task. Fill its fields by mapping the lead data Watch Lead passes along, so each task names the right prospect.
- 04
Test with Run once
Add a test lead in SlimCRM, then click Run once. Read the bundles each module received and open SlimCRM to check that the task looks the way you expect.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
On the clock of Watch Lead, keep the default of every 15 minutes or choose another interval your plan allows, then switch the scenario on. New leads now arrive with a task attached.
What can start a SlimCRM scenario?
7 modules start a scenario when something happens in SlimCRM. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by SlimCRM as soon as it happens.
Watch Contact
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Contact keeps an eye on the contacts in your SlimCRM account and starts the scenario with each one it picks up, passed along as a bundle, meaning one item the next module can work with.
Watch Expense
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Expense brings each expense recorded in SlimCRM into Make, so spending stops living in a single place and can reach the people who approve or book it.
Watch Invoice
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Invoice hands every invoice it finds in SlimCRM to the rest of your scenario, ready to be copied into a spreadsheet, a message or another app.
Watch Lead
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Lead is the natural starting point for sales automations: it catches leads in SlimCRM and gives each one to the next module as its own bundle.
Watch Payment
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Payment tells your scenario about payments recorded in SlimCRM, turning each one into a bundle that other modules can thank, file or report on.
Watch Staff
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Staff follows the team members stored in SlimCRM and starts a run for each one it picks up, which makes it the entry point for onboarding flows.
Watch Task
triggerIn the docs onlyWatch Task picks up tasks from SlimCRM and pushes each one into the scenario, so to-dos can travel to a calendar, a chat or a project board.
What can SlimCRM do inside a scenario?
SlimCRM gives you 45 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Search Tasks
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Tasks returns the SlimCRM tasks that match what you ask for, whether that is zero, one or many, each one as its own bundle for the next module.
Create a Client
ActionIn the docs onlyAdding a client to SlimCRM from any other tool becomes a single step: the new record appears in your account with the data you map into the module.
Create a Lead
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate a Lead drops a fresh prospect into SlimCRM, so contact forms and event sign-up lists feed your pipeline directly instead of an inbox.
Create a Payment
ActionIn the docs onlyMoney received elsewhere gets written into SlimCRM with this module, which keeps the client file complete for whoever opens it next.
Create a Staff
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate a Staff opens a team member's record in SlimCRM from information you already hold in another tool, such as an HR form or a signed contract.
Create a Task
ActionIn the docs onlyTurning an event into a to-do is the whole job here: the module writes a task into SlimCRM with the text and details you map from earlier modules.
Create an Expense
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate an Expense logs a cost in SlimCRM from a receipt, a card notification or a purchase approved in another app, so spending is recorded where the client work lives.
Create an Invoice
ActionIn the docs onlyCreate an Invoice produces a SlimCRM invoice from data gathered earlier in the scenario, so billing starts from the event that justifies it.
Delete a Client
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete a Client removes a client from SlimCRM for good: none of the 52 modules brings a deleted record back.
Delete a Lead
ActionIn the docs onlyClearing out a dead prospect takes one module: Delete a Lead erases the lead you point it to and keeps the pipeline free of noise.
Delete a Payment
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete a Payment takes a payment entry out of SlimCRM, which is how a scenario undoes a record that should never have been logged.
Delete a Staff
ActionIn the docs onlyWhen someone leaves the team, Delete a Staff takes their record out of SlimCRM in the same flow that closes their other accounts.
Delete a Task
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete a Task removes a to-do from SlimCRM, handy when the reason for it disappears somewhere else and the list should stay honest.
Delete an Expense
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete an Expense wipes an expense line from SlimCRM so your totals match reality again after a mistake or a rejected claim.
Delete an Invoice
ActionIn the docs onlyDelete an Invoice takes an invoice out of SlimCRM entirely, useful for cleaning up after tests or after an invoice was raised on the wrong client.
Get a Client
ActionIn the docs onlyGet a Client fetches the full record of one client, so later modules can use every detail SlimCRM holds on that person or company.
Get a Lead
ActionIn the docs onlyGet a Lead reads a single lead from SlimCRM so the next modules work with its complete, current record rather than an older copy.
Get a Payment
ActionIn the docs onlyNeed the details of one payment in the middle of a scenario? Get a Payment returns that payment as a bundle the next modules can quote.
Get a Staff
ActionIn the docs onlyGet a Staff returns one team member's record from SlimCRM, useful whenever a scenario needs to know who a piece of work concerns.
Get a Task
ActionIn the docs onlyGet a Task pulls one task from SlimCRM with everything it holds, so a report or a message can describe it properly.
Get an Expense
ActionIn the docs onlyGet an Expense reads one expense line from SlimCRM so you can hand its details to the approval or accounting tool that needs them.
Get an Invoice
ActionIn the docs onlyGet an Invoice brings back one SlimCRM invoice as it stands right now, handy just before you send a reminder or file a copy.
List Clients
SearchIn the docs onlyList Clients returns your SlimCRM clients as a stream of bundles, one per client, for every job that needs the whole base at once.
List Expenses
SearchIn the docs onlyList Expenses hands over the expense lines stored in SlimCRM, one bundle each, ready to land in a spreadsheet or a report.
List Invoices
SearchIn the docs onlyWith List Invoices, every SlimCRM invoice becomes a bundle you can copy, count or send on to another tool.
List Leads
SearchIn the docs onlyList Leads pulls the leads from SlimCRM into the scenario, the way to go when a whole pipeline has to be moved or reviewed.
List Payments
SearchIn the docs onlyList Payments returns the payments recorded in SlimCRM, one bundle per payment, so you can export or review them elsewhere.
List Staffs
SearchIn the docs onlyList Staffs gives you the whole team as SlimCRM knows it, one bundle per person, ready to be copied into a directory.
List Tasks
SearchIn the docs onlyList Tasks brings back SlimCRM tasks in bulk, the quickest way to feed a board or a shared summary outside SlimCRM.
Make an API Call
ActionIn the docs onlyMake an API Call is the way out when the list falls short: it sends a request of your choice to the SlimCRM API with the connection you already set up.
Search Clients by Criteria
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Clients by Criteria finds the clients that match conditions you set and returns each match as its own bundle.
Search Clients by Keyword
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Clients by Keyword looks for clients from a word or a name, the quick answer to the question of whether a client already exists.
Search Expenses
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Expenses narrows SlimCRM's expense lines down to the ones that match your request, one bundle per match.
Search Invoices
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Invoices finds the SlimCRM invoices that match what you look for, returning one bundle for each invoice found.
Search Leads by Criteria
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Leads by Criteria picks out the leads that meet the conditions you choose, so you work on a slice of the pipeline rather than all of it.
Search Leads by Keyword
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Leads by Keyword finds leads from a word, a name or a company you type or map into the module.
Search Payments
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Payments tracks down the payments in SlimCRM that match your search, each one returned as a bundle.
Search Staffs by Keyword
SearchIn the docs onlySearch Staffs by Keyword finds team members from a name or a word, so a scenario can route work to the right person.
Update a Client
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Client rewrites details on a client that already exists in SlimCRM, so a change made in another tool reaches your CRM too.
Update a Lead
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Lead keeps a prospect's record current as new information comes in from your other tools.
Update a Payment
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Payment corrects a payment already recorded in SlimCRM, one per run, without deleting it and starting over, so the history your team relies on stays in one place.
Update a Staff
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Staff keeps an existing team member's record in SlimCRM in line with what changed elsewhere, so nobody edits the same person twice by hand.
Update a Task
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate a Task moves one existing SlimCRM task forward from another tool, so you stop switching tabs every time work progresses elsewhere.
Update an Expense
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate an Expense fixes or completes one existing expense line in SlimCRM, so your cost tracking stays accurate without anyone retyping entries.
Update an Invoice
ActionIn the docs onlyUpdate an Invoice brings one existing SlimCRM invoice up to date from another tool, so billing data matches what your client actually agreed to.
