What can the Status Hero Make integration automate?
The Status Hero Make integration lets another tool write into Status Hero, or read from it, without any code. You build a scenario in Make, meaning the automation itself, out of modules, the bricks that each do one job. Status Hero brings 16 of them: absences, activities, statuses, reports, members and tags.
Absences that record themselves. When a leave request is approved in your HR tool, Get Member finds the person by username and Add Member Absence marks the day off, so nobody chases a missing check-in. Public holidays follow the same path with Add Team Absence.
A digest built from tagged updates. Say your team tags blockers. Search Statuses from a Tag returns the matching statuses, newest completed first, and the next module can post them to a chat channel or a spreadsheet.
Work done elsewhere, visible in the check-in. Add Status Activity pushes an activity into Status Hero when something happens in another app, such as a deal closed in your CRM or a ticket resolved.
Know the limits before you start: Status Hero has no trigger module in Make, so the scenario starts on a schedule or on another app's trigger, and there is no Make an API Call module for anything the 16 modules skip. If you are also weighing n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the differences. New to the editor? The Make training starts from zero, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.
How do you connect Status Hero to Make?
- 01
Copy your Team ID and API key
In Status Hero, open Team Settings, then the API tab. Two values sit on that screen: the Team ID and the API key. Copy both somewhere safe, Make asks for them in a moment.
- 02
Open a new connection in Make
Add any Status Hero module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Status Hero account linked to Make once, then reused by every Status Hero module. The Connection name field is optional; a clear name helps if you manage several teams.
- 03
Paste the credentials and confirm
Enter the Team ID and API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen. Once the connection is accepted, the module fields open up and you can start configuring the brick.
Your first scenario with Status Hero
GoalWhen a leave request is approved in another app, Make finds the team member in Status Hero and records the absence.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Here it comes from the app where leave gets approved, since Status Hero has no trigger of its own.
- 02
Find the right person
Click the + on the right to add Get Member. Pick your connection, then map the username coming from the first module so Make looks up the matching team member.
- 03
Record the absence
Add Add Member Absence after it. Map the member ID or slug returned by Get Member, so the absence lands on the right profile rather than on a guess.
- 04
Test it with Run once
Click Run once and approve a test leave in the first app. Open each module's bubble to read the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed from module to module.
- 05
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.
What each Status Hero module does
Status Hero gives you 16 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add Member Absence
ActionIn Make“Adds a absence record for a member, by the ID or slug of the team member”
Marks one person as away in Status Hero, so the team knows why their check-in is missing. You point it at the member through their ID or slug.
Add Status Activity
ActionIn Make“Adds an activity to Status Hero.”
Drops an activity into Status Hero, which means work finished in another app shows up where your team already reads updates. Nobody has to retype it at check-in time.
Add Team Absence
ActionIn Make“Add a team-wide holiday.”
Declares a holiday for the entire team at once, so the day off shows for everybody in Status Hero. One module run covers the whole team, no need to go person by person.
Delete Member Absence
ActionIn Make“Deletes an absent record for an individual team member, by the member's ID and date of the record.”
Removes an absence already recorded for one team member, which keeps the attendance picture honest when plans change. Make needs the member's ID and the date of the record.
Delete Team Absence
ActionIn Make“Removes a team-wide holiday for the specified date.”
Cancels a team-wide holiday on a given date, putting everyone back on the check-in schedule. It is the mirror of Add Team Absence.
Get Comment
ActionIn Make“Get a comment form a status update”
Fetches a single comment left on a status update, handy when the discussion around an update matters as much as the update itself. You get the comment as one bundle.
Get Member
ActionIn Make“Get a specific member from the team by the username.”
Looks up one team member from their username and returns their details, including what the next module needs to target them. Think of it as the bridge between another app's user and Status Hero.
Get Reaction
ActionIn Make“Get a reaction from a status update.”
Retrieves one reaction left on a status update, so you can see how teammates responded to a specific post. The result comes back as a single bundle.
Get Report
ActionIn Make“Get a specific report from the team”
Brings back one specific report from your team, ready to pass to a document, an email or a chat message. Useful when you want a single report rather than the whole history.
Get Status
ActionIn Make“Get a specific status from the team.”
Returns one status update from the team, with its content ready to map into another tool. It saves you opening Status Hero to copy a check-in by hand.
Get Status Activity
ActionIn Make“Get a specific status activity.”
Reads back one activity attached to Status Hero, which is how you check what a scenario like Add Status Activity actually recorded. You receive the activity as a single bundle.
List Members
SearchIn Make“List the details of every members in the team.”
Gives you the details of every member of the team, a quick way to keep a roster in a spreadsheet or another app aligned with Status Hero.
List Reports
SearchIn Make“List all reports from the team”
Pulls every report your team has in Status Hero, which lets you archive them or feed them to a dashboard without exporting by hand.
List Statuses
SearchIn Make“List all statuses from the team”
Collects all the status updates from the team so another tool can read them, to build a digest document or a searchable log kept outside Status Hero.
List Tags
SearchIn Make“List an array of tags that are configured for your team.”
Shows the tags your team has configured in Status Hero, which is the easiest way to know the exact spelling before you search by tag.
Search Statuses from a Tag
SearchIn Make“searches a collection of Status objects, ordered by descending date completed, where the designated tag is present.”
Finds every status carrying a given tag, sorted with the most recently completed first. You get a focused list, such as all blockers or all wins, instead of the whole feed.
