What you can automate

What can the WP All Import Make integration do for your site?

It lets Make react the moment WP All Import or WP All Export finishes a job on your WordPress site. Make starts a scenario (the automation you build, a chain of steps) and passes the result to the other tools your team uses, so nobody has to watch the dashboard.

Tell the right people an import landed. A store that loads a supplier catalog through WP All Import can start a scenario with Watch New Import and post a message in the team chat, so product managers review the new items while the job is fresh.

Keep a log of every export. With Watch New Export, each finished export can add a record to a tracking base, for example with the Airtable Make integration. Anyone who needs the file knows when a new one exists.

Chain the next job. An agency running several client sites can use either trigger as the starting point of a longer flow built from other apps: a report, a task in a project tool, an email to the client.

Keep the boundary in mind: in Make, this app only listens. Its 2 modules are triggers, with no action to start an import or change a setting, so the work after the trigger always runs in other apps. If you are still choosing a tool, read n8n vs Make, and when a flow grows beyond a few steps, the Make training covers the method.

Connect

How do you connect WP All Import to Make?

  1. 01

    Check the plugin on your site

    Before opening Make, make sure WP All Import or WP All Export is installed and active on your WordPress site, and that you have an account on WP All Import. Without both, the connection (your account linked to Make once) has nothing to reach.

  2. 02

    Add a module and create the connection

    In your scenario, add one of the two WP All Import modules and click Create a connection. Give it a clear name if you manage several sites, so you pick the right one later.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what WP All Import asks for: either approve Make on the app's page or paste the key the app provides. Then click Save. Every WP All Import module in your scenarios reuses this connection.

First scenario

Your first scenario: a heads-up after each import

GoalWhen WP All Import finishes an import on your site, Make sends the news to a module of another app your team reads.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module, one brick of the flow.

  2. 02

    Add the trigger

    Search for WP All Import, pick Watch New Import and select the connection you created, or click Create a connection if this is your first time.

  3. 03

    Add the next module

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and choose a module from another app, such as a chat message or a new row. Map the data the trigger passes along into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then process an import in WP All Import so the trigger has something to receive. Open each module to read the bundle, the item Make passed from one step to the next.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    When the test looks right, save and switch the scenario on. From now on, every finished import starts it, with no one clicking anything.

Triggers

What can start a WP All Import scenario?

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

WP All Import1Watch New Export

Watch New Export

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new export has been processed.”

This trigger starts your scenario as soon as WP All Export has processed an export, so the people or tools that depend on that export hear about it without anyone checking the site.

How it fires
instant, meaning WP All Import calls Make through a webhook as soon as the export is done.
When to use it
a finance or sales colleague relies on a product or order export and wants to know the moment a new one is ready.
Watch out
it only reacts to exports, so an import on the same site will not start this scenario.
WP All Import2Watch New Import

Watch New Import

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new import has been processed.”

Your scenario wakes up each time WP All Import has processed an import, which turns the end of a catalog or content load into the signal for everything that should follow.

How it fires
instant, since the app notifies Make through a webhook as soon as the import has been processed.
When to use it
a shop loads supplier products and the team wants a review task or a message the moment new items reach the site.
Watch out
the trigger tells you the job ran; plan the follow-up in another app, because this integration has no module to edit or relaunch an import.

FAQ

Questions people ask next

01Is the WP All Import Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. WP All Import is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs of up to 5 minutes, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans remove the cap on active scenarios and allow runs of up to 40 minutes. Each module execution counts as an operation, the unit Make bills against your plan. The WP All Import plugin itself has its own subscription, which this page does not cover: check the vendor's pricing page.
02What do you need to connect WP All Import to Make?
You need an active installation of WP All Import or WP All Export on your WordPress site and an account on WP All Import. With that in place, add one of the two modules in Make, click Create a connection, authorize Make or paste the key the app gives you, then save. The official documentation does not describe dedicated connection steps, so Make's standard connection flow applies. One connection serves both triggers.
03Do the WP All Import triggers react in real time?
Yes. Both Watch New Import and Watch New Export are instant triggers: the app calls Make through a webhook as soon as a job has been processed, instead of Make checking on a schedule. That makes them a good fit for alerts and follow-up tasks that should start right after the job ends. To test, click Run once in the editor and then process an import or export so the trigger receives an event.
04What if the module you need is missing from the WP All Import app?
It depends on the gap. This app only has 2 triggers and no Make an API Call module, so Make cannot start an import, change a template or read past jobs through it. Use the triggers as the starting point and handle the rest with modules from other apps. If your process truly needs to act inside WP All Import, the Make agency team can review the flow with you and look for another route.
05Should you use Make or n8n with WP All Import?
It depends on your team rather than on the plugin. On Make, the app offers 2 instant triggers and runs on the Free plan, which covers a first alert or log flow. If your other automations already live in n8n, check whether it offers a node for WP All Import before splitting work across two tools. Compare the apps each tool can reach for the rest of your flow, since that is where most of the work happens here.
