What you can automate

What can the Stability AI Make integration do for you?

The Stability AI Make integration lets a Make scenario, meaning the automation you build as a chain of modules, ask Stability AI for images and videos without you opening any AI tool. Each module is one brick of that chain: here, 7 actions and 1 search that generate, upscale, animate or check your account.

Visuals for a product catalog. A row lands in your product sheet, Generate an Image from Text turns its description into a picture, and Upscale an Image delivers a sharper version your web team can publish.

Variations of an existing photo. A designer drops a reference shot somewhere Make can read, and Generate an Image from an Image produces a new take on it for an ad test or a mood board.

Short clips from stills. Generate a Video from an Image starts the clip, then Get a Video Result reads its status and fetches the finished file once it is ready.

What Make does not give you: a trigger. Stability AI has no module that starts a scenario, so the run begins with another app or with the schedule of the scenario. The official documentation is also marked as limited, so test each module with real data before relying on it. The same app often has an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, and our Make review covers the editor itself.

Connect

How do you connect your Stability AI account to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Stability AI module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for Stability AI and pick any of its modules. Make then asks for a connection, which is your Stability AI account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app. Click Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving it a name is optional, but it helps as soon as you handle two accounts, for example one for a client project and one for internal tests. A clear label saves you from picking the wrong account later in a busy scenario.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what the window asks: either authorize Make on the Stability AI page or paste the key Stability AI gives you, depending on what the form shows. Then click Save, and the module can start reading your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario: a sharp image from a line of text

GoalWhen a new description reaches another app, Make asks Stability AI for an image and returns an upscaled version.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that holds your descriptions as the first module, since Stability AI cannot start the run on its own.

  2. 02

    Add the image generation

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search Stability AI and choose Generate an Image from Text. Create the connection if this is your first Stability AI module in Make.

  3. 03

    Map the description

    Fill the module and map the description from the previous module into it, so each bundle, one item passing from module to module, becomes one prompt. One row in, one image out.

  4. 04

    Add the upscale

    Click the + again and add Upscale an Image. Map the image returned by the previous module so the second step works on what Stability AI just produced.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Then read the bundles each module received and check that a real image came back before going further.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on each bundle is an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

The 8 Stability AI modules, one by one

Stability AI gives you 8 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Stability AI1

Generate an Image from an Image

Action

In MakeGenerates a new image based on an existing image.

You get a fresh picture built on top of a photo you already have, so the result keeps a link with your starting point instead of inventing everything.

When to use it
a brand already has a product shot and a marketer wants alternative backgrounds or styles for an ad test.
Watch out
the source image has to reach this module from an earlier step, so plan where Make will read it.
Stability AI2

Generate an Image from Text

Action

In MakeGenerates a new image from a text prompt.

Hand it a written prompt and it returns a brand new image, which makes it the natural starting point for most Stability AI scenarios in Make.

When to use it
every time a text, such as a product description or a blog title, should turn into a visual with no source picture.
Watch out
each bundle becomes one generation, so a sheet with many rows means many operations.
Stability AI3

Generate a Video from an Image

Action

In MakeGenerates a video based on an input image.

This one turns a still picture into a short video, handy when a static visual deserves some motion for social media or a product page.

When to use it
right after an image module, or on a photo your team already approved.
Watch out
the clip is not the final output of this step; you read the status and the file with Get a Video Result.
Stability AI4

Get a Video Result

Action

In MakeReturns the status and result of a video generation.

It tells you where a video generation stands and hands back the result, so your scenario can pick up the finished clip and pass it to the next app.

When to use it
placed after Generate a Video from an Image, to collect what that module started.
Watch out
check the status it returns before sending the file anywhere, since the generation may not be finished yet.
Stability AI5

Get the Account Balance

Action

In MakeReturns the remaining balance of your account.

With this module you see how much balance remains on your Stability AI account, straight inside the scenario and without logging in elsewhere.

When to use it
before a large batch of generations, or as the very first test of a new connection.
Watch out
it only reads the balance; pair it with a filter or an alert from another app if you want a warning when it drops.
Stability AI6

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Here you reach any endpoint of the Stability AI API with the same connection, which covers whatever the seven other modules leave out.

When to use it
a feature you need exists in Stability AI but has no dedicated module in Make.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself, so keep the Stability AI API documentation open while you set it up.
Stability AI7

Upscale an Image

Action

In MakeCreates a higher resolution version of an input image.

You receive a higher resolution copy of an image, useful for a large banner or a product page where visitors zoom in.

When to use it
as the last step after a generation, or on older visuals from your library that look blurry on today's screens.
Watch out
run it only on the images you keep, because each upscale is an extra operation in your plan.
Stability AI8

List Engines

Search

In MakeReturns a list of engines available to your organization/user.

The search returns the engines your Stability AI user or organization can use, which helps you see what is actually open to your account before building.

When to use it
when you set up a scenario for a new team or a new account and want to confirm access first.
Watch out
as a search, it can return zero, one or several bundles, and each one flows on separately.

FAQ

Questions people ask about Stability AI and Make

01Is the Stability AI Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side: Stability AI is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, 15 minutes at least 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, Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and count usage in credits per month. What Stability AI charges for its own service is a separate matter, which you track with the Get the Account Balance module.
02What do you need to connect Stability AI to Make?
A Stability AI account and a Make account. The documentation lists no other prerequisite. You add a Stability AI module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the Stability AI page or paste the key Stability AI gives you, and save. The connection is created once and every Stability AI module of your scenarios reuses it. Running Get the Account Balance right after is a simple way to confirm it works.
03Can a Stability AI scenario in Make start on its own?
Not from Stability AI itself: the app has no trigger module, only 7 actions and 1 search. Your scenario therefore starts with another app, for instance a new row in a spreadsheet or a form answer. You can also run it on the schedule of the first module, every 15 minutes by default, down to 1 minute on paid plans. Stability AI then does its work in the middle of the flow, and the Run once button lets you test the whole chain one time before switching it on.
04What if a Stability AI module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Stability AI API with the connection you already created, so a feature without a dedicated module stays within reach. Keep in mind that Make describes its documentation for this app as limited, because little public information exists about it. Test each request with Run once and read the bundles returned before you switch the scenario on, and keep the Stability AI API reference at hand while you configure the call.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Stability AI?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. In Make, Stability AI comes with 8 modules plus the ability to call its API directly, and it works from the Free plan. The same app often exists as an n8n node too. Compare what each tool offers for the specific actions you need, such as video generation or upscaling, and pick the one where your other automations already live, so you do not maintain two platforms for one workflow.
