What you can automate

What can the Stannp Make integration do for you?

The Stannp Make integration links your Stannp account to Make, a tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a brick that does a single job. With it, data from your other apps becomes physical mail: a letter, a postcard or a whole direct mail campaign, sent without copying addresses by hand.

Mail that follows a sale. A deal closes in your CRM, and Send a Letter or Send a Postcard puts a printed thank-you in the post. The trigger comes from the other app, because Stannp itself has no trigger module in Make.

Campaigns built from a list. A property agency can keep its prospects in Airtable (see the Airtable Make integration), feed them to Add a Recipient, then chain Create a New Campaign, Produce a Campaign Sample, Approve a Campaign and Book a Campaign. The order matters: Stannp only books a campaign that was approved first.

Reporting pushed to your team. Get a Reporting Summary and Get Mailpieces pull what was sent, so a sheet or a chat message can show the results next to your other numbers.

What Make does not cover here: there is no module that watches Stannp for new events, and the official documentation is AI-generated from Stannp's own docs, so check important details with Stannp. For anything the 10 modules miss, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the API. Weighing tools first? The n8n vs Make comparison and the Make pricing guide help you decide.

Connect

How do you connect Stannp to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your Stannp API key

    In Stannp, open the My API key section from the main dashboard menu and copy the key shown on screen. Your account needs to be active on at least the starter subscription plan: Stannp reserves API access to those accounts.

  2. 02

    Add a Stannp module in Make

    Open your scenario in Make, add any Stannp module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your Stannp account linked to Make once and reused by every Stannp module afterwards.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you run several accounts, paste the API key you copied, and save. Make now reads your Stannp data and fills the module lists for you.

First scenario

Build your first scenario: a welcome letter for every new contact

GoalWhen a new contact lands in another app, Make adds them in Stannp and sends them a letter.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where new contacts appear, such as your CRM or a form tool, and its trigger module.

  2. 02

    Add the recipient in Stannp

    Click the + on the right of the trigger, search Stannp and choose Add a Recipient. Map the name and address from the trigger, then pick the recipient group Make lists for you.

  3. 03

    Send the letter

    Add Send a Letter after it and map the same contact. Each bundle, meaning one item passed from a module to the next, becomes one letter here.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time, then read the bundles each module received. Check the recipient before real mail leaves.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the clock on the first module (every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What each Stannp module does

Stannp gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Stannp1

Add a Recipient

Action

In Make“This action creates a new recipient on our platform and adds it to one of your recipient groups.”

Saves a person in Stannp and drops them straight into one of your recipient groups, so your mailing lists grow on their own as contacts arrive elsewhere.

When to use it
each time a lead, a buyer or a member appears in another app and should receive mail later in a campaign.
Watch out
pick the target group with care, since a campaign sent to that group will reach everyone the scenario added to it.
Stannp2

Approve a Campaign

Action

In Make“This action will approve one of your campaigns. Use this action once you have generated a sample and have reviewed your campaign.”

Gives the green light to a campaign you already checked, which moves it one step closer to the printer without opening Stannp.

When to use it
after a sample was produced and someone reviewed it, for example once a manager replies yes to a review request.
Watch out
approve only after that review. Placing this module right after the sample step, with nothing in between, skips the human check entirely.
Stannp3

Book a Campaign

Action

In Make“This action books an approved campaign, scheduling it to be sent. Campaigns must be approved before they are booked.”

Schedules an approved campaign for sending, the final move that turns a draft mailing into real envelopes on their way.

When to use it
at the end of a campaign flow, once approval is done and the list is final.
Watch out
Stannp refuses to book a campaign that was not approved first, so put Approve a Campaign before this module or approve it by hand.
Stannp4

Create a New Campaign

Action

In Make“This action creates a new campaign on our platform.”

Opens a fresh campaign in your Stannp account, the starting point when you want to mail a whole group rather than one person.

When to use it
a product launch or an event invitation where a recipient group is ready and needs one shared mailing.
Watch out
a new campaign is not sent yet. It still needs a sample, an approval and a booking before any mail goes out.
Stannp5

Get a Reporting Summary

Action

In Make“This action allows you to get a reporting summary of your sent mail.”

Brings back a summary of the mail you already sent through Stannp, handy for putting your direct mail figures next to email and ads results.

When to use it
when a dashboard, a spreadsheet or a team channel should show mailing results without anyone logging in to Stannp.
Watch out
this module reads data only. It changes nothing in your account and sends nothing.
Stannp6

Get Mailpieces

Action

In Make“This action allows you to receive an array of sent Mail pieces.”

Returns the list of mail pieces you sent, piece by piece, so you can follow up on individual letters and postcards rather than totals.

When to use it
to log each sent item in a CRM record or a sheet row next to the matching customer.
Watch out
the pieces come back as one array. Add an iterator after it if every piece should become its own bundle for the next module.
Stannp7

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Calls any endpoint of the Stannp API with the connection you already set up, which covers what the nine other modules leave out.

When to use it
when you need a Stannp feature that has no ready-made module in Make and you have the API reference open.
Watch out
you write the request yourself here. Test it with Run once and read the response before sending real mail.
Stannp8

Produce a Campaign Sample

Action

In Make“This action produces a Campaign PDF Sample.”

Generates a PDF preview of a campaign, so someone can see the exact letter or card before anything is printed.

When to use it
right after a campaign is created, to send the PDF to a colleague or a client for sign-off.
Watch out
the sample is the step Stannp expects before approval. Skipping it means approving mail nobody has actually looked at.
Stannp9

Send a Letter

Action

In Make“This action allows you to send a letter.”

Mails a single letter to one person, the quickest way to turn an event in another app into paper in someone's mailbox.

When to use it
for one-to-one mail such as a contract reminder, a thank-you after purchase or a formal notice.
Watch out
every bundle that reaches this module becomes a real letter. Test with a single contact before switching the scenario on.
Stannp10

Send a Postcard

Action

In Make“This action allows you to send a postcard.”

Sends one postcard to one recipient, a lighter touch than a letter when the message is short and visual.

When to use it
a birthday offer, a reactivation card for a customer who went quiet, or a promo after a store visit.
Watch out
like the letter module, each run posts real mail. Run a test with one contact first, since a duplicate in the incoming data means a duplicate card.

FAQ

Stannp and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Stannp Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side. Stannp is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, a 15 minute minimum between 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 and remove the cap on active scenarios. On the Stannp side, API access needs an active account on at least the starter subscription plan, so check Stannp's own pricing for that part.
02What do you need to connect Stannp to Make?
Two things: a Stannp account that is active on at least the starter subscription plan, and its API key. The key sits in the API key section of the Stannp dashboard menu. In Make, add any Stannp module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key. The connection is then reused by all 10 Stannp modules, so you only do this once per Stannp account, even if you later build several scenarios on it.
03Does the Stannp Make integration react in real time?
No, because Stannp has no trigger module in Make: all 10 modules are actions. A scenario therefore starts elsewhere. Either another app's trigger fires it, for example a new deal in your CRM or a new form entry, or you rely on the schedule of the first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default and can go down to 1 minute on paid plans. The speed then depends on that first module, not on Stannp.
04What if the Stannp module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Stannp API with the same connection as the other modules, so you can reach features the 9 ready-made modules do not cover. You write the request yourself, so keep the Stannp API reference open and test with Run once. Also note that the Make documentation for Stannp is AI-generated from Stannp's docs; if something behaves differently from what you read, Stannp is the one to ask.
05Make or n8n for Stannp?
It depends on what you need to find ready-made. In Make, Stannp comes with 10 modules that cover recipients, letters, postcards, the whole campaign cycle and reporting, plus Make an API Call for the rest, all without code. Before choosing n8n, check whether it offers a Stannp node and which actions it includes. Then compare the tools on criteria that matter to you, such as how your team likes to build and which other apps the flow must reach.
