What you can automate

What can the VideoAsk Make integration automate?

The VideoAsk Make integration links your VideoAsk account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: a chain of modules that runs on its own. A module is one brick of that chain, such as a trigger that starts it or an action that creates something. VideoAsk brings 4 triggers and 9 modules to that chain.

Every new answer lands where your team reads it. Watch Form Response starts the scenario as soon as someone answers one of your forms. Each answer then travels to the next module as a bundle, the name Make gives to one item passing between modules, so a sales rep or a recruiter sees it in the tool they already open.

Forms built from your other apps. A new product, event or job opening in another tool can become a VideoAsk form: Create a Form opens it, Create a Question adds the prompts, and Update a Question fixes the wording later without touching the VideoAsk editor.

Transcripts and messages kept in writing. Watch Form Transcribed fires once VideoAsk has transcribed a form, and the two message triggers follow the conversation between you and each contact. Search Form Metrics reads the numbers of a form when you want them in a report.

What the integration leaves out: the official doc lists no specific limit for these modules, and anything the 13 modules do not cover goes through Make an API Call. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria, the Make pricing page explains plans, and the Make training helps you go further.

Connect

How do you connect VideoAsk to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a VideoAsk module

    In your scenario, add any VideoAsk module and click Create a connection. A connection is your VideoAsk account linked to Make once, then reused by every VideoAsk module you add later. You need an active VideoAsk account for this.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    The Connection name field is optional. A clear name still helps when several people or several VideoAsk accounts share the same Make workspace, because you pick the right one from a list in each module.

  3. 03

    Authorize your account

    Follow the on-screen instructions, or paste the credentials copied from VideoAsk. For your own credentials, open the Account and Org settings menu, click Create a developer app, then Register new app, and copy the Client ID and Client secret.

First scenario

Your first scenario: turn a new item in another app into a VideoAsk form

GoalWhen a new item appears in another app, Make creates a VideoAsk form and adds its first question.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Here that first module comes from the app where your items live, such as a sheet or a CRM.

  2. 02

    Pick the starting module

    Search that app by name, choose the module that watches for new items, connect your account and fill in its fields. Make lists what it can read once the connection exists.

  3. 03

    Add Create a Form

    Click the + on the right, search VideoAsk and choose Create a Form. Map the item's name from the previous module so each form carries a title your team recognizes.

  4. 04

    Add Create a Question

    Add Create a Question after it and point it to the form the previous module just created. Map the question text from the first module, or type it once if every form opens the same way.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received, so you can open VideoAsk and check the new form and its question.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Triggers

What can start a VideoAsk scenario?

4 modules start a scenario when something happens in VideoAsk. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by VideoAsk as soon as it happens.

VideoAsk1Watch Form Author's Message

Watch Form Author's Message

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when the form's author has left a message.”

Get a signal each time the author of a form leaves a message in a conversation. The scenario receives that message and can log it, forward it or mark the contact as followed up.

How it fires
instant, VideoAsk calls Make through a webhook as soon as the author posts the message.
When to use it
when a manager wants a trace of every reply the team sends to candidates or leads, kept in a shared sheet or CRM.
Watch out
it only covers the author side of the thread; replies from contacts need Watch Form Contact's Message.
VideoAsk2Watch Form Contact's Message

Watch Form Contact's Message

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new message by a contact has been added to the form.”

This trigger catches the other side of the conversation: a contact adds a new message to one of your forms, and Make receives it straight away so nobody has to refresh VideoAsk to spot it.

How it fires
instant, VideoAsk notifies Make through a webhook the moment the contact posts.
When to use it
when a support or sales inbox should light up as soon as a prospect writes back after a first answer.
Watch out
a first answer to the form is a response, not a message; use Watch Form Response for that case.
VideoAsk3Watch Form Response

Watch Form Response

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new response has been added to the form.”

Start your scenario with every new answer to a form and pass it to the next module as one bundle. It is the usual entry point for a VideoAsk scenario.

How it fires
instant, the app calls Make by webhook as soon as the response is added.
When to use it
a hiring form where each applicant's answer should create a card in your recruiting tool, or a lead form feeding your CRM.
Watch out
a contact writing again later sends a message, not a new response; add Watch Form Contact's Message if you need those too.
VideoAsk4Watch Form Transcribed

Watch Form Transcribed

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a form has been transcribed.”

Receive the moment VideoAsk finishes transcribing a form, so the text version is ready for the next module: a document, a summary step or a searchable record.

How it fires
instant, VideoAsk alerts Make through a webhook once the transcription exists.
When to use it
when your team prefers reading to watching, or when answers need to be quoted in a report or a CRM note.
Watch out
pick this trigger rather than Watch Form Response whenever the next module needs the written words rather than the answer itself.
Modules

What can Make do in VideoAsk?

VideoAsk gives you 9 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

VideoAsk1

Create a Form

Action

In Make“Creates a new form.”

Opens a brand new VideoAsk form from your scenario, ready to receive questions, without going through the VideoAsk editor.

When to use it
a new job opening or a new client project in another tool should come with its own video form.
Watch out
the form starts empty; chain Create a Question right after it.
VideoAsk2

Create a Question

Action

In Make“Creates a question within the specified form.”

Adds a question inside a form you choose, which is how a form built by Make gets its actual content.

When to use it
after Create a Form, or to append a follow-up question to an existing form when a campaign changes.
Watch out
map the form from the previous module rather than typing it, otherwise every run writes into the same form.
VideoAsk3

Get a Form

Action

In Make“Retrieves a form specified by ID.”

Brings back the details of one form, identified by its ID, so later modules can use its details in a message or a record.

When to use it
right after a trigger, to add the form's title to a notification so people know which campaign the answer belongs to.
Watch out
it needs an ID; when you only know the name, start with Search Forms.
VideoAsk4

Get a Question

Action

In Make“Retrieves a question specified by ID.”

Reads one question by its ID, which gives the rest of the scenario the exact wording the contact was answering.

When to use it
a response reaches your CRM and the note should show the question next to the answer, not just a reference.
Watch out
one module run reads one question; a form with several questions needs one run per question.
VideoAsk5

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitary authorized API call.”

Covers what the other modules leave out by calling any endpoint of the VideoAsk API, using the same connection as the rest of the scenario.

When to use it
you need an operation no listed module offers, and you know which endpoint the VideoAsk API documentation describes for it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so test it with Run once before switching the scenario on.
VideoAsk6

Update a Form

Action

In Make“Updates a form specified by ID.”

Changes an existing form, picked by its ID, so it follows what happens in your other tools without a manual edit.

When to use it
an offer closes in your CRM and the matching form should reflect the change.
Watch out
the update applies to the live form, so run it on a test form first with Run once.
VideoAsk7

Update a Question

Action

In Make“Updates a question specified by ID.”

Rewrites a question already in place, found by its ID, which keeps a form accurate when the wording has to change.

When to use it
a date, a product name or a price mentioned in a question changes in the tool where your team keeps it.
Watch out
contacts who answered before the change saw the old wording, keep that in mind when you compare answers.
VideoAsk8

Search Form Metrics

Search

In Make“Searches for form metrics for the specified dates or intervals or lists the whole metrics.”

Pulls the metrics of a form for the dates or intervals you set, or the full set, so the numbers reach a report without an export by hand.

When to use it
when a campaign ends and the results should land in a spreadsheet or a dashboard.
Watch out
like any search, it can return zero, one or several bundles; add an aggregator if you want a single row.
VideoAsk9

Search Forms

Search

In Make“Searches for forms or lists them all.”

Finds forms matching your search, or lists them all, and hands each one to the next module as a separate bundle.

When to use it
you know a form by its name and need its ID for Get a Form or Update a Form.
Watch out
a broad search can return many forms, and each one runs the next modules and counts operations.

FAQ

VideoAsk and Make: common questions

01Is the VideoAsk Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. VideoAsk is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Your VideoAsk subscription is separate, and the doc points to the VideoAsk pricing page for it.
02What do you need to connect VideoAsk to Make?
An active VideoAsk account and its credentials. When you add a VideoAsk module and click Create a connection, you either follow the on-screen instructions or paste a Client ID and a Client secret. You get those by creating a developer app from the Account and Org settings menu in VideoAsk, with the callback URI the Make doc provides if VideoAsk asks for one. For a trigger, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection.
03Do VideoAsk triggers in Make fire in real time?
Yes. All 4 VideoAsk triggers are instant: VideoAsk calls Make through a webhook as soon as a response arrives, a message is posted or a transcription is ready. Your scenario does not wait for a schedule the way a scheduled trigger would, which polls at a set interval of 15 minutes by default. Each trigger shows a lightning badge in the editor, and each run still counts operations on your plan.
04What if a VideoAsk module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the VideoAsk API with the connection you already have, so an operation not covered by the 13 modules is still possible. You write the request yourself, based on the VideoAsk API documentation, and test it with Run once. The Make doc lists no specific limit for this app, and it flags its own content as AI-generated, so check important details with VideoAsk directly.
05Should you use Make or n8n for VideoAsk?
It depends on what you already run. Make offers VideoAsk as a native app with 13 modules, 4 of them instant triggers, and a Free plan to test a first scenario. The same app often has an n8n node too, so the choice rests on the tool your team already uses and knows, not on a ranking. Compare what each tool offers for the VideoAsk actions you actually need before building.
