Make

What a member can do

• Run scenarios in the Make account that are active and set to run on demand.
• Collect the result of a scenario run later, when the run outlasts the call.
• View and change scenarios, connections, webhooks and data stores, on paid plans.
• View and change teams and organisation settings, on paid plans.

Each task names the Make tools it may call. make on a task means every tool the Make server offers; a name such as make.<tool> means that tool alone. A tool the task does not name is refused, whatever the connection allows.

Who connects it

A Make connection acts as the Make account that signed in when it was connected. It can do what that account can do, and no more.

Anyone who may change tools in your enterprise can connect Make for a member or a team. Connecting it for the whole enterprise is for the owner, and the people the owner allows.

A connection can sit on the enterprise, a team, a member, a role or a task, and the one further down replaces the one above: task, then role, then member, then team, then enterprise. A connection on anything but a task also reaches the chat of every member it covers.

What waits for you

In a run, nothing on Make waits for you unless the task declares a gate on it. To approve each change before it happens, gate the tools that change something on the task. See Gates and tool scopes.

In a chat, a Make tool that its server does not mark as read-only asks you before it runs, unless you chose Always allow for that member and tool.

Setup

Before you connect

Only active scenarios scheduled on demand can be run. Management tools need a paid Make plan. A run that takes longer than about 25 seconds returns its result later, not in the same call.

Connect it

Make is an Express tool, so there is no server address, key or app to set up. Work in one browser window throughout: the sign-in returns to the portal in the window you started from.

1. In the portal, open the member's page → Tools. To connect it for a team or the whole enterprise, open Tools in the sidebar.
2. Under Express, find Make and choose Connect. On the Tools page you are asked who uses it: one member, a team or the whole enterprise.
3. Make's sign-in opens. Sign in with the account the member should work as, and approve what it asks for.
4. You are back on Tools, and Make shows as connected.
5. Name the tools on the task, make for all of them or each by name.
6. Check it. Run a task that reads something from Make. The run page shows the call and what came back.

You can take the access back at any time: delete the connection on Tools, or remove Zero Human OS from the connected apps in your Make account.

A first task to try

With Make connected, give a member a task that uses it. For example:

When I ask for the weekly report, run our 'Weekly report' scenario in Make and tell me the result.

Start this task in the portal. It opens a conversation with your COO with the request written out. Read it, change what you like and send it. The COO asks what it still needs to know, then proposes the task for you to approve: its name, who owns it, its guardrails, the Make tools it may use and its instructions. Nothing is created until you approve it.
