What you can automate

What can the TimeTonic Make integration do for you?

The TimeTonic Make integration links your TimeTonic smart tables to the rest of your tools without writing code. In Make, you build a scenario, which is the automation itself: a chain of modules, where each module is one brick such as a trigger, an action or a search. TimeTonic brings 8 of those bricks, so a record can create, read, update or remove rows elsewhere.

A change log you never have to fill in. Watch records fires as soon as someone edits a record. Chain it with Get a row to read the full record, then Create a new row in a second table, and every edit leaves a trace without anyone typing it.

Rows that stay clean. Get table rows pulls the rows of a table so the next modules can check them one by one; Update a row corrects a value and Delete a row removes an entry that no longer belongs. The search can return zero, one or many rows, so plan for each case.

Files attached where they belong. Upload file attaches a document to a record, so a file received by another app lands on the right client or project row.

What the listed modules do not cover, Make an API Call can reach, with the same connection. The documentation behind the module list is flagged by Make as AI-generated from TimeTonic's own docs, so test each module with a real record before you rely on it. To see how Make compares with another tool, read n8n vs Make. If you are new to the editor, Make training walks through it, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect your TimeTonic account to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your TimeTonic API key

    In TimeTonic, open your user profile from the home menu and click Generate next to API Sesskey. Copy the API key shown on screen, then copy the OAuth user ID displayed with it. Make needs both values.

  2. 02

    Add a TimeTonic module in Make

    In your scenario, add any TimeTonic module and click Create a connection. A connection is your TimeTonic account linked to Make once, then reused by every TimeTonic module. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps later.

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Enter the API key and the OAuth user ID you copied from TimeTonic, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen. Save, and Make can now read the smart tables your account has access to.

First scenario

Build your first TimeTonic scenario

GoalWhen a record is modified in TimeTonic, Make reads the row and adds an entry to a separate log table.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Search for TimeTonic and pick Watch records.

  2. 02

    Set up the webhook and connection

    Click Create a webhook, then Create a connection with your API key and OAuth user ID. Once the connection exists, Make lists the tables it can read, so you pick the one to watch.

  3. 03

    Read the full row

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Get a row. Map the record from the trigger so the module fetches the complete row that was just changed.

  4. 04

    Write the log entry

    Add Create a new row and point it at a separate log table, not the watched one. Map the values from Get a row into the new row.

  5. 05

    Test, then switch it on

    Click Run once, edit a record in TimeTonic and read the bundles each module received. A bundle is one item passed between modules, here one row. When the log row looks right, switch the scenario on.

Triggers

What starts a TimeTonic scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in TimeTonic. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by TimeTonic as soon as it happens.

TimeTonic1Watch records

Watch records

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a modification is made on a record”

Watch records starts your scenario the moment someone changes a record in TimeTonic, so the rest of the chain works on fresh data instead of waiting for a check. It is the only trigger this app offers, which makes it the natural entry point for any TimeTonic scenario.

How it fires
it is an instant trigger: TimeTonic calls Make through a webhook as soon as the modification happens, shown by the lightning badge on the module.
When to use it
a project row moves to a new status and your team should hear about it right away.
Watch out
if a later module edits a row in the table you watch, that edit counts as a modification and can fire the trigger again, so write to another table.
Modules

Everything TimeTonic can do in Make

TimeTonic gives you 7 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

TimeTonic1

Create a new row

Action

In Make“Create a new row in the smart table”

Create a new row adds an entry to one of your smart tables, filled with data mapped from earlier modules. You get a fresh record in TimeTonic without retyping what already exists in another tool.

When to use it
a form or another app hands you a new client, and that client needs its own row.
Watch out
each run creates a row, so a scenario that fires twice on the same event leaves a duplicate behind.
TimeTonic2

Delete a row

Action

In Make“Delete a new row in the smart table”

Delete a row removes one entry from a smart table, which keeps a table free of records that no longer belong there, such as a cancelled request.

When to use it
another tool confirms a cancellation and the matching row should disappear from TimeTonic.
Watch out
no module of this app restores a deleted row, so test on a copy table with Run once before pointing it at real data.
TimeTonic3

Get a row

Action

In Make“Read a row in a smart table”

Get a row reads one record from a smart table and hands every value to the next modules. You work with the full row, not just the piece of data that came in with the trigger.

When to use it
right after Watch records, when you need all the values of the record that just changed.
Watch out
it reads a single row you point to; to scan a whole table, Get table rows is the module to pick.
TimeTonic4

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API Call sends a request of your choice to the TimeTonic API, using the connection you already set up. It covers what the seven other modules leave out, without a second login.

When to use it
you need an operation of the TimeTonic API that no listed module offers.
Watch out
you build the request yourself, so keep TimeTonic's API documentation open and test the call with Run once first.
TimeTonic5

Update a row

Action

In Make“Update an existing row”

Update a row changes the values of a record that already exists, so you fix the right row instead of adding a second one that duplicates it.

When to use it
an invoice gets paid in your billing tool and the matching project row in TimeTonic should show it.
Watch out
updating a row in the table that Watch records listens to is itself a modification, which can fire the trigger again and loop the scenario.
TimeTonic6

Upload file

Action

In Make“Upload file to a record”

Upload file attaches a document to a TimeTonic record, so contracts, photos or reports sit next to the client or project they concern instead of in a loose inbox.

When to use it
a signed quote arrives by email and should end up on the matching deal row.
Watch out
on the Free plan, Make handles files up to 5 MB, so large scans may need a paid plan.
TimeTonic7

Get table rows

Search

In Make“Get rows of a given table”

Get table rows is the search of this app: it returns the rows of a table you choose, each one as a separate bundle the following modules process in turn.

When to use it
you want to review a whole table, for example to spot rows that need an update or to copy them into a spreadsheet.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many rows, and every row processed afterwards costs operations on your plan.

FAQ

TimeTonic and Make: common questions

01Is the TimeTonic Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. TimeTonic is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum interval of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, up to 5 minutes per execution, 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. You still need an active TimeTonic account, whose subscription is set by TimeTonic, not by Make.
02What do you need to connect TimeTonic to Make?
An active TimeTonic account and an API key. In TimeTonic, open your user profile, click Generate next to API Sesskey, then copy the API key and the OAuth user ID shown on screen. In Make, add a TimeTonic module, click Create a connection and paste both values. If the first module is Watch records, which is instant, click Create a webhook before creating the connection. The connection is then reused by every TimeTonic module in your scenarios.
03Does the TimeTonic trigger in Make fire in real time?
Yes. Watch records is an instant trigger: TimeTonic calls Make through a webhook as soon as a record is modified, so the scenario does not wait for a scheduled check. The 15 minute default schedule of a new scenario applies to scheduled triggers, not to this one. Keep in mind that each change sends its own bundle, and every module that processes it counts as an operation on your plan, so a busy table uses more operations.
04What if a TimeTonic module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the TimeTonic API with the connection you already have, so you can cover what the 8 listed modules do not. You write the request yourself, using TimeTonic's API documentation. Also note that Make labels its TimeTonic documentation as AI-generated from the vendor's docs and possibly inaccurate, so check module behavior with Run once, and contact TimeTonic about any question on their own documentation.
05Should you use Make or n8n for TimeTonic?
It depends on the tool you already run. In Make, TimeTonic comes with 8 ready modules, an instant trigger on record changes and Make an API Call for the rest, from the Free plan. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether TimeTonic has one before deciding. The fair criteria are the modules you need, how your team likes to build and where your other automations already live, rather than a general ranking of the two tools.
