What you can automate

What can the WPForms Make integration do for you?

The WPForms Make integration links your WPForms account to Make, a no-code automation tool. Each time a visitor submits one of your forms, WPForms calls Make, and Make passes that entry to the next steps of your scenario, the automation you build in its editor.

Everything starts with one module (a brick of a scenario): Watch New Form Entries. It is a trigger, so it opens the flow, and what happens after it depends on the modules of other apps you add behind it. A few typical setups: a contact form whose entries land in the spreadsheet your sales team already reads, a quote request that becomes a record in your CRM, or a survey whose answers go to a shared inbox for review.

Know the limits before you start. The app has no action or search module, so Make cannot create, edit or delete entries inside WPForms. It also has no Make an API Call module. And WPForms asks for a paid account before Make can connect to it.

If you are still weighing up the tool itself, read the Make review and check Make pricing. Your other forms run on another builder? Open the 123FormBuilder Make integration page. WPForms may also have a node in n8n; the n8n vs Make comparison explains how the two tools differ.

Connect

How do you connect WPForms to Make?

  1. 01

    Add the WPForms module

    Open a scenario, click the +, search for WPForms and pick Watch New Form Entries. In the module panel, click Create a connection. A connection is your WPForms account linked to Make once, then reused.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Give the connection a name if you like. It is optional, but a clear label such as the site name helps when you run several WordPress sites and need to tell their accounts apart later.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Follow what WPForms asks for: approve Make in the authorization window, or paste the key WPForms gives you. Then click Save, and the connection shows up in the module.

First scenario

Your first scenario with WPForms

GoalWhen someone submits a WPForms form, Make sends the entry to the tool where your team works.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the editor. That empty circle becomes your first module.

  2. 02

    Place the trigger

    Search for WPForms, choose Watch New Form Entries and link your account with Create a connection. This trigger will start the scenario each time a form is submitted.

  3. 03

    Fill in the trigger

    Complete the fields the module shows. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read from your account, so you pick from a list instead of typing values by hand.

  4. 04

    Add the destination

    Click the + to the right of the trigger and add a module from the app that should receive the entry. Map the answers from the WPForms bundle (one entry passing to the next module) into its fields.

  5. 05

    Test, then switch on

    Click Run once, submit a test entry on your site, and read the bundle each module received. When the data looks right, switch the scenario on so it keeps listening.

Triggers

What starts a WPForms scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in WPForms. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by WPForms as soon as it happens.

WPForms1Watch New Form Entries

Watch New Form Entries

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a form entry is submitted.”

You get every new submission of your WPForms forms inside Make, the moment a visitor sends it, ready to be passed to the rest of your scenario. It is the only WPForms module, so every scenario built on this app starts here.

How it fires
instant: WPForms calls Make through a webhook as soon as a form is submitted, so there is no polling interval to set.
When to use it
a lead fills in your contact form and you want it copied to your CRM or a spreadsheet without anyone retyping it.
Watch out
each entry that reaches Make counts as operations on your plan, and a scenario that is switched off will not catch submissions.

FAQ

Questions about the WPForms Make integration

01Is the WPForms Make integration free?
Partly. On the Make side, WPForms is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in credits, which are operations, each month. On the WPForms side, the Make documentation requires a paid WPForms account, so the plugin itself is not free for this use. Check both before you build.
02What do you need to connect WPForms to Make?
You need a paid WPForms account and a Make account. The Make documentation does not list dedicated connection steps for this app, so the standard flow applies. Add the Watch New Form Entries module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want, then approve Make or paste the key WPForms provides, and click Save. After that, any scenario that uses WPForms with this account can reuse the same connection, so you authorize Make only once.
03Does the WPForms trigger in Make react in real time?
Yes. Watch New Form Entries is an instant trigger. WPForms calls Make through a webhook as soon as a visitor submits a form, instead of Make checking for new entries at intervals. In the editor it carries a lightning badge, while scheduled triggers show a clock. The one condition is that the scenario must be switched on. If it is off, or if you are only testing with Run once, submissions sent outside that test will not start the scenario.
04What if the WPForms module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The WPForms app in Make has one module, a trigger, and no Make an API Call module, so there is no generic way to reach other parts of the WPForms account from Make. You cannot edit or delete entries with it. If your goal is to act on the data, do it in the other apps of the scenario, after the trigger. For a case that the trigger alone cannot cover, the team at the agency can look at your setup with you.
05Should you use Make or n8n for WPForms?
It depends on the tool your team already uses. WPForms often has a node in n8n as well, and on the Make side the picture is simple: one instant trigger, a paid WPForms account, and a connection you set up once. The honest criterion is the rest of your automations. If they already live in Make, keeping WPForms there avoids running two tools. If they live in n8n, check its node first. The comparison page linked above explains how the two tools differ without ranking them.
