Wappalyzer Make integrationAutomate Wappalyzer with Make.

Want to know what a website runs on without opening it yourself? The Wappalyzer Make integration has one search module that returns the technologies behind a URL. It suits sales and marketing teams who qualify lists of sites, and this page walks you through the connection and a first working scenario.

What you can automate

What does the Wappalyzer Make integration let you automate?

The Wappalyzer Make integration links your Wappalyzer account to Make so that a scenario, the automation you build in Make, can ask which technologies a given website uses. You feed it a URL, it hands back the technologies it detects, and the next module stores or routes that answer.

Qualify leads by their stack. A new company lands in your CRM with its website. Get Technologies reads that URL, and a later module writes what it found next to the lead, so the sales rep knows before the first call whether the prospect uses a tool you integrate with.

Enrich a prospect table in bulk. Your list of target sites lives in a spreadsheet or a database such as the one described on the Airtable Make integration page. Make walks through each row, calls Get Technologies once per URL, and fills a column with the result.

Watch your own portfolio. An agency that manages client sites can run the lookup on its list and review which platforms each client is on, without clicking through a browser extension site by site.

Keep in mind what the integration does not do. It has no trigger, so it never starts a scenario by itself: another app or the Make schedule has to hand it a URL. It also has no universal API call module, and Make itself warns that its documentation for this app is limited, so plan to check the output with a test run. Wappalyzer often has an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a platform, and the Make training covers the editor basics.

Connect

How do you connect Wappalyzer to Make?

  1. 01

    Add the Wappalyzer module

    In your scenario, add the Wappalyzer module Get Technologies and click Create a connection. A connection is your Wappalyzer account linked to Make once, then reused by every Wappalyzer module you add later.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize

    Give the connection a name you will recognize, for example the team or client it belongs to. Then either approve Make on the Wappalyzer page that opens or paste the key Wappalyzer gives you, depending on what the window asks for.

  3. 03

    Save and check

    Click Save. The connection now appears in the module's list, and every Wappalyzer module you add to a scenario later can reuse it instead of asking you to authorize again.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Wappalyzer

GoalWhen a new website URL reaches your list in another app, Make looks up its technologies with Wappalyzer and passes the result on.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the canvas. This first module will be the app that holds your URLs, since Wappalyzer has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Pick your source of URLs

    Search the app where your websites live, choose the module that reads new items, and connect your account. Each item it returns is a bundle: one row, one lead, one URL moving to the next step.

  3. 03

    Add Get Technologies

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search Wappalyzer and select Get Technologies. Create the connection, then map the website field from the first module into the URL of the lookup.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time, and the bubble above each module shows the bundles it received, so you can read exactly which technologies came back for your test URL.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set Scheduling; a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on so each new URL is looked up without you.

Modules

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

Wappalyzer1

Get Technologies

Search

In MakeReturns the technologies for a URL.

Hand this module a website address and it returns the technologies Wappalyzer detects there, ready for a CRM record or a sheet. As a search module, it may return zero, one or several bundles for a single URL.

When to use it
right after the module that brings in a new lead, to enrich it before the first call.
Watch out
each run counts as an operation on your Make plan, and the output format is not documented, so read the bundles after a Run once before mapping them.

FAQ

Wappalyzer and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Wappalyzer Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Wappalyzer is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum interval of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, up to 5 minutes of execution per run and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and count usage in credits each month. Any cost on the Wappalyzer side depends on your Wappalyzer account, which this page does not cover.
02What does Make need to connect to Wappalyzer?
A Wappalyzer account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for this app and gives no dedicated connection guide, so the generic Make steps apply: add the Get Technologies module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the Wappalyzer page or paste the key Wappalyzer provides, and click Save. The same connection then serves every Wappalyzer module in your scenarios, so you only go through these steps once.
03Does the Wappalyzer module in Make react in real time?
No. Wappalyzer has no trigger in Make, so nothing in Wappalyzer can start a scenario. The scenario starts from another app's trigger, for example a new lead in a CRM, or from the Make schedule on the first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default and down to 1 minute on paid plans. If the source app offers an instant trigger through a webhook, the lookup happens as soon as that app calls Make.
04What if the Wappalyzer Make integration lacks a feature?
It depends on what you need. Make offers only one Wappalyzer module, Get Technologies, and no universal API call module for this app, so anything beyond a technology lookup has to come from another app in the scenario. Make also notes that its Wappalyzer documentation is limited because little public information exists. When the gap blocks your project, the team can review your use case and suggest another route, for example a different app that covers the missing step.
05Should Wappalyzer run on Make or n8n?
It depends on your criteria rather than on the app. Wappalyzer often has an n8n node as well, so both tools can usually reach it. On Make, you get the Get Technologies search module and a visual editor where each module shows the bundles it received. Compare what each platform offers for the other apps in your flow, how your team prefers to build, and which one it already uses before choosing.
