TopMessage Make integrationAutomate TopMessage with Make.

Can Make send a TopMessage message for you when something happens in another tool? Yes. The TopMessage Make integration has 1 action module and no trigger. This guide shows how to link your account, where that module fits and how to build a first working scenario.

What you can automate

What does the TopMessage Make integration do?

It lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of bricks called modules, send a message through your TopMessage account. TopMessage only acts at the end of the chain: something else starts the scenario, then the Send a Message module delivers the text you prepared from that data.

Confirm a booking without typing it. A calendar or booking app starts the scenario when an appointment is created, and Send a Message pushes a confirmation built from the name and time it received. See the 10to8 Make integration for one possible starting point.

Answer every form entry. A form tool hands Make each new entry as a bundle, one item passed from module to module, and TopMessage replies to the contact who filled it in.

Warn your team about an internal event. A status change in a CRM or a spreadsheet can end with a short alert sent through TopMessage to the right person.

What Make does not cover here: there is no trigger, so TopMessage cannot start a scenario on its own, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach other parts of the app. Make also states that its documentation for TopMessage is limited, because little public information exists about the app. The same app may have an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out how the two tools differ. If you are new to the editor, the Make training covers the basics step by step.

Connect

How do you connect TopMessage to Make?

  1. 01

    Open the connection window

    Add the Send a Message module to a scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your TopMessage account linked to Make once, then reused by every TopMessage module you add later.

  2. 02

    Name it so you can find it again

    Giving the connection a name is optional, but a clear label such as the account or team it belongs to saves guesswork when several people share the same Make organization.

  3. 03

    Authorize Make and save

    Either approve Make on the TopMessage page that opens, or paste the key TopMessage gives you, depending on what the window asks for. Then click Save and the module is ready to fill in.

First scenario

Your first scenario with TopMessage

GoalWhen a new entry arrives in another app you already use, Make sends a TopMessage message built from that entry.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since TopMessage has no trigger, this first module comes from the app where the event happens.

  2. 02

    Set the starting module

    Search that other app by name, pick its module, click Create a connection and fill its fields. Make lists what it can read once the account is linked.

  3. 03

    Add Send a Message

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search TopMessage and choose Send a Message. Connect your account, then map the name or details from the previous module into the message.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Open each module to read the bundles it received and check that the message went out as expected.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From now on, each new entry produces its own message.

Modules

What TopMessage can do in Make

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

TopMessage1

Send a Message

ActionIn the docs only

This action delivers a message through your TopMessage account, using text and details that earlier modules passed along. It is the only TopMessage module in Make.

When to use it
an order ships or a ticket closes in another tool, and someone should hear about it without anyone writing by hand.
Watch out
each message counts as one operation, one run of a module that Make bills against your plan, so sending to a long list adds up quickly; test with Run once on a single record first.

FAQ

TopMessage and Make: common questions

01Is the TopMessage Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. TopMessage is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs scheduled scenarios no more often than every 15 minutes, stops a run after 5 minutes and caps transfer at 512 MB. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Your TopMessage account and whatever it charges for sending are a separate matter, handled directly with TopMessage.
02What do you need to connect TopMessage to Make?
A TopMessage account and a Make account. The Make documentation for this app lists no extra prerequisite. You add the Send a Message module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the TopMessage page or paste the key TopMessage provides, and save. Because the documentation is limited, keep your TopMessage account settings open in another tab in case the window asks for a key. Once saved, the connection is reused by any later scenario.
03Can a TopMessage event start a Make scenario in real time?
No. TopMessage has no trigger module in Make, so it cannot start a scenario itself. The scenario begins elsewhere: either with a trigger from another app, or with a schedule you set on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. An instant trigger from another app, one that the app calls through a webhook as soon as something happens, is the fastest way to get the message sent soon after the event.
04What if the TopMessage module you need is missing?
It depends on what you need. Make offers only Send a Message for TopMessage, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach other features of the app. If you need to read replies or manage contacts, look at whether another messaging app on Make covers that part, and keep TopMessage for sending. When the gap blocks a real project, the Hackceleration team can help you study the options.
05Should you use Make or n8n for TopMessage?
It depends on the rest of your setup. On Make, TopMessage gives you a single action module and no trigger, so it works best as the final step of a scenario started by another app. TopMessage may also have an n8n node. Compare what each tool offers for this specific app, check which one already runs your other automations, and pick the one where the full chain, from the starting event to the message, fits without workarounds.
