What you can automate

What can the Tolstoy Make integration do for you?

The Tolstoy Make integration links your Tolstoy account to Make so that a new lead starts an automation right away. Make calls that automation a scenario: a chain of modules, where each module is one brick belonging to one app. Tolstoy gives you the first brick, and the rest comes from the other apps you use.

Leads that land in your CRM on their own. Start a scenario with Tolstoy Event, then add the module of your CRM that creates a contact. Nobody copies names by hand, and the sales rep finds a ready record instead of a raw notification.

A heads-up for whoever owns the follow-up. The same trigger can feed a chat or email module, so the person in charge hears about the lead while it is still warm. Each lead travels through the scenario as one bundle, meaning one item passed from a module to the next.

A clean log of every lead. Append each bundle as a row in a spreadsheet app to keep a history your team can filter and share.

Know the limits before you plan. Tolstoy has a single module in Make, and it is a trigger: Make can listen to Tolstoy, but it cannot create or change anything inside it, and there is no Make an API Call module to fill the gap. Make also flags the Tolstoy documentation as AI-generated, so check anything important with Tolstoy itself.

Connect

How do you connect Tolstoy to Make?

  1. 01

    Open the Create a connection window

    Add the Tolstoy Event module to a scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Tolstoy account linked to Make once; every Tolstoy module then reuses it, so this is a one-time job.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize Make

    Give the connection a name you will recognize, which is optional but helps when a team shares one Make account. Then follow what Make asks: approve access on the Tolstoy page, or paste the key Tolstoy hands you.

  3. 03

    Save and return to the module

    Click Save. Make brings you back to the module with the connection selected, and the trigger is ready to receive leads. You only do this once: every later Tolstoy scenario picks the same connection from the list.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Tolstoy

GoalWhen a new lead reaches Tolstoy, Make passes it straight to the app where your team handles leads.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. This first slot is where your trigger goes.

  2. 02

    Add Tolstoy Event

    Search for Tolstoy, pick Tolstoy Event and choose the connection you made earlier. The lightning badge on the module tells you Tolstoy will call Make itself, rather than Make checking on a schedule.

  3. 03

    Add the destination

    Click the + on the right of the Tolstoy module and add the app that should receive the lead, a CRM or a sheet for example. Map the lead data from Tolstoy into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then let a test lead come through Tolstoy. Read the bundles each module received and confirm the data landed in the right fields.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    Once the test looks right, switch the scenario on. From then on, each new lead runs through the chain without anyone clicking anything.

Triggers

What starts a Tolstoy scenario

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

Tolstoy1Tolstoy Event

Tolstoy Event

Instant trigger

In Make“New Lead”

Tolstoy Event gives you each new lead as soon as Tolstoy records it, ready for the next module to use. It is the only door into Make for this app, so every Tolstoy scenario begins here.

How it fires
instant, meaning Tolstoy calls Make through a webhook the moment the lead appears, instead of Make checking on a schedule.
When to use it
any time a lead should reach your CRM, your inbox or a shared sheet without a manual export.
Watch out
each lead is one bundle, and each module run on it counts as one operation on your Make plan, so a long chain uses more of your quota per lead.

FAQ

Questions about the Tolstoy Make integration

01Is the Tolstoy Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Tolstoy is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, runs of up to 5 minutes and a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs. Each module run counts as one operation against your monthly allowance. Paid plans such as Core, Pro and Teams lift those limits. You still need an active Tolstoy account, and its price is set by Tolstoy, not by Make.
02What do you need to connect Tolstoy to Make?
An active Tolstoy account and a Make account. The Make doc for Tolstoy lists no special steps, so the usual flow applies: add the Tolstoy Event module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, authorize Make or paste the key Tolstoy provides, then click Save. The connection is reused by every Tolstoy module afterwards. Because Make marks this doc as AI-generated, confirm account requirements with Tolstoy directly if something looks off.
03Does the Tolstoy trigger in Make react in real time?
Yes. Tolstoy Event is an instant trigger: Tolstoy calls Make through a webhook as soon as a new lead appears, so the scenario does not wait for the 15 minute default schedule that polling triggers follow. In the editor, the lightning badge on the module confirms it. Keep the scenario switched on, though: while it is off, the lead has nowhere to go in Make. Each lead then arrives as one bundle, and every module that handles it uses one operation.
04What if the Tolstoy module you need is missing in Make?
Then Make alone cannot cover it today. Tolstoy offers only one module, the Tolstoy Event trigger, and no Make an API Call module to reach anything else in Tolstoy. You can still act on the lead in any other app of the scenario, among more than 3,000 standard apps. If you need something Tolstoy does not expose to Make, the team at Hack'celeration can look at your case and suggest another route.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Tolstoy?
It depends on what you need beyond the trigger. On Make, Tolstoy gives you one instant trigger for new leads, available on the Free plan, and nothing that writes back into Tolstoy. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check what that node offers before you decide. Pick the tool whose modules match your whole chain, not just the first step, and where your team already builds its other automations.
