Getting Started with Make

Connect SmartSuite to Make with your Workspace ID and API key, then build scenarios from SmartSuite triggers and actions.

Written by Brian Dollen

Make connects SmartSuite to thousands of other apps without code. In Make, create a scenario, add the SmartSuite module, and connect it with your Workspace ID (the 8 characters after app.smartsuite.com/) and your API key from My Profile. Then build the scenario from a SmartSuite trigger or action.

Plan Availability

All plan types. Every request counts toward the workspace's monthly API allowance (25,000 on Team, 100,000 on Professional, 500,000 on Enterprise, custom on Signature).

Permissions

Any member with an API key. The key acts with that member's role and permissions. Make needs its own account.

Platform

Web

How do I connect SmartSuite to Make?

This section also covers what the Connecting SmartSuite with Make article described; that article now points here. The SmartSuite page on Make lists scenario templates for tools such as Airtable, Wufoo and Mailchimp, and Make Triggers & Actions lists the two triggers, nine actions and one search.

  1. Sign in to your Make account, or create one.

  2. Click Create a new scenario in the upper-right corner.

  3. Click the large + and search for SmartSuite.

  4. Choose the trigger or action.

  5. On the Webhook page, click Add to create a hook, name it and click Add a new connection.

Where do I find my Workspace ID and API key?

Workspace ID

  1. Sign in to your workspace at app.smartsuite.com.

  2. Read the address bar: the first 8 characters after https://app.smartsuite.com/ are the Workspace ID.

API key

  1. Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner and select API Key.

  2. In the API Key section, click the masked value to reveal the key.

  3. Copy it with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac).

Regenerating a key is covered in Retrieving your API Key and Workspace Id.


How are Make requests counted?

Every call a scenario makes to SmartSuite is one API request against the workspace's monthly allowance; a scenario that finds a record and then updates it makes 2 requests. The connection acts as the member whose key it uses, so the scenario sees only what that member can see.
