What can the Teachable Make integration do for your school?
The Teachable Make integration links your Teachable school to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario, an automation made of bricks called modules. Teachable can start a scenario when something happens in your school, and Make can create, read, update, find or delete students without you opening the Teachable admin.
Students enrolled from your other tools. Someone pays or signs up in another app, and Create a Student opens their Teachable account right away. Nobody copies an email address by hand anymore.
A roster that follows your CRM. When a contact changes elsewhere, Search Students finds the matching learner by email and Update a Student applies the change, so both sides tell the same story.
School activity sent where your team works. Watch Events fires as soon as Teachable reports an event, and the next module passes it on to a sheet, a chat channel or a CRM of your choice.
Know the limit before you start: Make itself says its documentation for Teachable is incomplete, because little public information exists about the app. When a listed module falls short, Make an API Call reaches the Teachable API with the same connection. The Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails.

How do you connect Teachable to Make?
- 01
Add a Teachable module
In a new scenario, click the + and search for Teachable. Pick any of its modules, then click Create a connection. A connection is your Teachable account linked to Make once, and every Teachable module reuses it.
- 02
Give the connection a name
This step is optional, but a clear name such as your school name helps when you run several schools or several accounts. You will pick that name from a list in every future Teachable module.
- 03
Authorize and save
Depending on what Teachable asks for, either approve access on the Teachable page that opens or paste the key Teachable gives you. Then click Save. The module now shows your account and you can fill its fields.
Your first scenario: turn a sign-up into a Teachable student
GoalWhen someone signs up through a form or a checkout in another app, Make creates their student account in Teachable.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. That first module comes from the app where people sign up, such as your form tool.
- 02
Set up the sign-up module
Search the app by name, choose the module that picks up new sign-ups and click Create a connection. Fill its fields; once connected, Make lists the forms or objects it can read.
- 03
Add Create a Student
Click the + on the right of the first module, search for Teachable and pick Create a Student. Map the details that arrive from the sign-up into its fields, one by one.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once and submit a test sign-up. Each module shows the bundle it received, meaning the item passed along, so you can check the new student appears in Teachable.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Set the clock on the first module (every 15 minutes by default), then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation on your plan.
What can start a Teachable scenario?
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Teachable. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Teachable as soon as it happens.
Watch Events
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a following event occurs.”
Watch Events starts your scenario the moment Teachable reports an event, so your other tools hear about school activity without anyone checking the admin. Make documents it only briefly, so the list of events it covers is best read inside the module itself.
What can Make do in Teachable?
Teachable gives you 6 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create a Student
ActionIn Make“Creates a new student's account.”
Create a Student opens a new learner account in your school from data that arrives in the scenario, so a purchase or a form entry becomes a Teachable student without manual typing.
Delete a Student
ActionIn Make“Deletes a student.”
Delete a Student removes a learner from your school, which keeps the roster clean when someone asks to leave or a test account is no longer needed.
Get a Student
ActionIn Make“Gets a specified student.”
Get a Student reads the record of one learner you already identified, giving the following modules fresh details to work with instead of stale copies.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Make an API Call lets you reach any endpoint of the Teachable API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, for the jobs the six other modules do not cover.
Update a Student
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing student.”
Update a Student changes the details of an existing learner, so a correction made in your CRM or billing tool also lands in Teachable.
Search Students
SearchIn Make“Searches for students by email.”
Search Students looks up learners by email address and hands back what it finds, which is the simplest way to tell whether a person is already enrolled in your school.
