Make

Make is a webhook platform: rather than reading your data directly, it lets you build a scenario that posts contacts and events into Instasent's ingest stream. Use it to connect Instasent to any tool Make supports that doesn't have a native connector.

How to connect

Make is a webhook platform: you don't create a credential on Make's side — Instasent creates the source and gives you the credentials, and you take them to Make. You can do the Instasent side before you have anything set up on Make; the source is created and waits for data in real time.

1. 1

   Add the data source

   In Data sources, select Add data source and choose Make from the Integrations section.

2. 2

   Configure the source

   Fill in the Configure step — Connection name, Default country, Regional settings / Locale and Timezone — and Instasent creates the source.

3. 3

   Copy your credentials

   Instasent shows the source's credentials under Setup instructions — the Project UID, the Secret token and the Data source ID. Keep them safe.

4. 4

   Build your Make scenario

   Install the Instasent app in Make and build a scenario that posts to your source's stream endpoint, using the credentials from the panel. The Instasent module handles the call.

5. 5

   Watch the stream log

   Back in Instasent, the source shows a stream log of the data arriving, so you can confirm your scenario is working.

For the endpoint shapes and the full credentials, see API & webhooks.

What it syncs

Make sends whatever your scenario posts — typically contacts and events, in real time as the scenario runs. The payload follows the ingest format: a contact payload identifies the contact (contact_id); an event payload adds the event name and its parameters.

Field mapping

The fields you send are mapped to Instasent attributes the same way as any source — you decide in your scenario which values go into which fields, and confirm the mapping. See field mapping.

Consent mapping

Make has no consent mapping of its own — it simply passes through the data your scenario sends. Consent is controlled by the columns and attributes you include in the payload. If you send the consent attributes (_accepts_marketing_*, _is_subscribed_*), the same rules apply as for any import: only set _accepts_marketing_* to false on an active opt-out; "no data" stays null. See Consent.
