Can Make act on The Keys Pro for you? Yes, through one action module. This The Keys Pro Make integration guide shows how to link your account, where that module fits in a scenario, and how to test it before it runs on its own.

What you can automate

What can the The Keys Pro Make integration do?

This integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make, send a request to your The Keys Pro account. It offers a single module, one brick of that scenario: the action Create Keypad Share. Something else has to start the scenario, because the app brings no trigger of its own.

Start from another tool. Since The Keys Pro has no trigger, the first bubble of your scenario belongs to another app, a form, a booking tool or a spreadsheet, and Create Keypad Share comes right after it. Each item passed from one module to the next is called a bundle.

Start from the clock. You can also let Make launch the scenario on its schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and run the action each time. The module name points to a share on a keypad; Make does not describe it further, so read the fields the module shows once your connection exists.

Know the limits. Make itself warns that its documentation for The Keys Pro is limited, because there is not enough public information about the app. No module watches events, looks data up or opens a generic route to the rest of the app. Test every scenario with Run once before you rely on it, and keep the Make troubleshooting guide open if a run fails.

If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, and the Make training covers scenario building from the ground up.

Connect

How do you connect The Keys Pro to Make?

  1. 01

    Add the module

    In a scenario, click the +, search for The Keys Pro and pick Create Keypad Share. Then click Create a connection. A connection is your The Keys Pro account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app.

  2. 02

    Name and authorize

    Give the connection a name if you like, which helps when several accounts exist. Then authorize Make on the page The Keys Pro opens, or paste the key the app gives you, depending on what the connection window asks for.

  3. 03

    Save the connection

    Click Save. Make returns to the module, and the connection now appears in its dropdown. From there you can fill the fields of Create Keypad Share and keep building the rest of the scenario.

First scenario

Your first scenario with The Keys Pro

GoalWhen something happens in another app, Make runs Create Keypad Share in The Keys Pro.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app whose event should start everything, such as a form tool.

  2. 02

    Add The Keys Pro

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for The Keys Pro and choose Create Keypad Share. Select your connection, or create it now with Create a connection.

  3. 03

    Fill and map the fields

    Fill the fields the module shows. Where a value should come from the first app, click the field and map data from the previous module instead of typing it, so each bundle carries its own values.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open the bubbles to read the bundles each module received, then check in The Keys Pro that the result is the one you expected.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, or 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan. Then switch the scenario on so it keeps running without you.

Modules

What the The Keys Pro module does

The Keys Pro gives you 1 module. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

The Keys Pro1

Create Keypad Share

ActionIn the docs only

Going by its name, this action creates a share tied to a keypad each time a bundle reaches it. As the app's only module, it always follows another app's trigger or Make's schedule.

When to use it
when an event elsewhere, a booking or a form entry, should lead to a new share in The Keys Pro without anyone opening the app.
Watch out
Make publishes no description of this module, so use Run once and check the result before switching the scenario on.

FAQ

The Keys Pro and Make: common questions

01Is the The Keys Pro Make integration free?
Yes, The Keys Pro is a standard app in Make, so it works from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs a scheduled scenario every 15 minutes at the shortest, stops a run after 5 minutes, and handles files up to 5 MB with 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes per run. Each operation, one module running on one bundle, counts against your monthly credits.
02What do you need to connect The Keys Pro to Make?
You need a The Keys Pro account and a Make account. The documentation lists no other prerequisite and no official steps, so the generic path applies: add the module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make on the page The Keys Pro opens or paste the key it gives you, then click Save. If the connection window asks for something you do not have, the account administrator on the The Keys Pro side is the person to ask.
03Does The Keys Pro have a real-time trigger in Make?
No. The app has no trigger at all, neither scheduled nor instant. To start a scenario anyway, place a trigger from another app first, for example a form or booking tool, and add Create Keypad Share after it. The other route is to let Make start the scenario on its own schedule, every 15 minutes by default. In both cases the action runs once for each bundle it receives, so test with Run once first.
04What if the The Keys Pro module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The app offers only Create Keypad Share and has no Make an API Call module, so there is no generic way to reach the rest of The Keys Pro from Make. Make also notes that its documentation for the app is limited for lack of public information. If your case goes beyond that single action, look at another app that holds the same data, or ask the team for help designing the scenario.
05Should you use Make or n8n with The Keys Pro?
It depends on your criteria. On the Make side, the facts are clear: one action module, a generic connection, no trigger, and a limited documentation page. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check whether one exists for The Keys Pro before choosing. Compare what each tool actually offers for this app, the editor your team already knows, and how you plan to start the scenario. Neither choice is right by default.
