What you can automate

What does the Waze Deep Links Make integration do?

The Waze Deep Links Make integration turns data from your other apps into Waze deep links: web addresses that open Waze on the phone or the desktop app, or that you can place on your website. Make is the automation tool that builds these links for you, inside a scenario, which is the automation you assemble from bricks called modules.

A route link for every delivery. A new order lands in your shop or a form, and Navigate to a Location produces a link the driver taps to start the route. No one copies the address by hand.

A pin you can share. For an event, a job site or a pop-up store, Generate URL for a Pin gives you a link that points to a spot on the Waze map, ready to drop into an email, a text or a page of your site.

A lookup when the address is fuzzy. Search an Address is the search module of the app, so it can return zero, one or several results, and Navigate to a Favorite covers places the user saved in Waze.

What the app does not do in Make: it has no trigger, so something else has to start the scenario, and there is no universal API call module. The official documentation gives no numeric limit for these modules. If you also work with n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria. To learn the editor step by step, see our Make training, and when a run fails, Make troubleshooting helps you read the error.

Connect

How do you connect Waze Deep Links to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Waze Deep Links module

    In your scenario, click the +, type Waze Deep Links in the search bar and pick a module. If Make asks for a connection, which is your account of the app linked to Make, click Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving the connection a name is optional, but it helps later. A clear label such as Waze for deliveries tells you at a glance which link each scenario relies on.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what the window asks: either approve Make on the app's page or paste the key the app gives you. Then click Save. The documentation lists no prerequisite for this app.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Waze Deep Links

GoalWhen a new delivery address reaches another app, Make builds a Waze route link and a pin link for it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. The first module comes from the app that holds your addresses, such as your form tool or your spreadsheet.

  2. 02

    Add Navigate to a Location

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search Waze Deep Links and choose Navigate to a Location. Map the address from the previous module into it.

  3. 03

    Add Generate URL for a Pin

    Add one more module with the + and pick Generate URL for a Pin. You now get two links for the same place: one to drive there, one to share the spot.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received; a bundle is one item passed along, here one address and its links. Open a link on your phone to check it.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From now on, each new address gets its Waze links without you.

Modules

What the Waze Deep Links modules do

Waze Deep Links gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Waze Deep Links1

Generate URL for a Pin

ActionIn the docs only

This action hands you a link that drops a pin on the Waze map, so whoever opens it sees the exact spot before deciding to go.

When to use it
you announce a meeting point, a site visit or a pickup spot and want people to see it in Waze from an email or a web page.
Watch out
the documentation gives no field details, so run the scenario once and open the link yourself before sending it to anyone.
Waze Deep Links2

Navigate to a Location

ActionIn the docs only

Here the result is a link that sends the person straight into navigation toward a place, which saves the driver from typing an address on a small screen.

When to use it
an order, a ticket or an appointment carries an address and someone has to get there; this is the module to pick over the pin when the goal is to drive.
Watch out
the link is only as good as the address you map, so clean it in the earlier module.
Waze Deep Links3

Search an Address

SearchIn the docs only

As the only search module of the app, and going by its name, it is the one to try when the address you hold is incomplete and you want Waze to look it up instead of guessing.

When to use it
a customer typed a street without a postcode, or only a place name, and you still want a usable link.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or several bundles, so add a filter or handle the empty case before the next module.
Waze Deep Links4

Navigate to a Favorite

ActionIn the docs only

Going by its name, this action points people to a place saved as a favorite in Waze, rather than to a raw address typed into your data.

When to use it
the destination is one the driver already stored, like a depot or the office, and you want the link to use it.
Watch out
a favorite lives in the reader's own Waze, so test the link on a phone that has it saved before rolling it out.

FAQ

Waze Deep Links and Make: common questions

01Is the Waze Deep Links Make integration free?
Yes. Waze Deep Links is a standard app, so its modules are available from the Free plan. The Free plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one operation being one run of one module on one item.
02What do you need to connect Waze Deep Links to Make?
A Make account and the Waze Deep Links app, which the official documentation lists with no prerequisite. When you add the first module, Make may ask you to create a connection: click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, then either approve Make on the app's page or paste the key the app gives you, and click Save. That connection is then reused by all 4 modules, so you only do this once per account.
03Can the Waze Deep Links Make integration start a scenario on its own?
No. The app has no trigger, only 3 actions and 1 search, so another source has to start the scenario. The usual route is a trigger from the app that holds your addresses, such as a form or a spreadsheet, with the Waze Deep Links modules placed right after it. You can also start from a schedule set on the first module: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan does not go below 15 minutes.
04What if a Waze Deep Links module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The app has 4 modules and no Make an API Call module, so you cannot send a custom request to Waze from this app. If a link type is missing, check whether another app in your scenario can supply the data in the shape the existing modules accept. The documentation gives no numeric limit for these modules. If the case stays stuck, the team can review the scenario with you, through the Make agency help offered below.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Waze Deep Links?
It depends on where your other automations already live. On the Make side, the 4 Waze Deep Links modules work without code, from the Free plan, and fit into a scenario you test with Run once. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check that side before choosing. This page does not rank the two tools and makes no claim about their price or speed; the useful criteria are the apps you already connect, the way your team likes to build and who will maintain the scenario.
