Make Integration
Connect Casper with Make.com to automate complex workflows and integrate with hundreds of apps and services.
Overview
The Make integration uses Casper's webhook functionality to send articles to Make.com scenarios. Make.com's visual workflow builder allows you to create sophisticated automations with multiple steps and conditional logic.
How it works: Casper sends articles to a Make.com webhook, which triggers your scenario to perform complex multi-step workflows across multiple apps.
Setup Instructions
Step 1: Create a Make.com Webhook
- Log in to your Make.com account
- Click Create a new scenario
- Click the + button to add a module
- Search for and select "Webhooks"
- Choose "Custom webhook" as the trigger
- Click Save and copy the webhook URL
Step 2: Connect in Casper
- Go to Settings → Integrations in your Casper dashboard
- Click Connect next to Webhook
- Paste your Make.com webhook URL
- Click Test Connection to send a test payload
- Go back to Make.com and run your scenario once to capture the test data
- Click Save in Casper to complete the connection
Step 3: Build Your Scenario
- In Make.com, add modules after the webhook trigger
- Map article data fields to your modules' required fields
- Add filters, routers, and other logic as needed
- Test your scenario with sample data
- Turn on your scenario
Common Use Cases
Multi-Platform Publishing
Create a scenario that publishes articles to multiple platforms simultaneously, with different formatting for each platform.
Conditional Workflows
Use routers to send articles to different platforms based on tags, categories, or other criteria. For example, send tech articles to one platform and marketing articles to another.
Data Processing
Process article data before publishing—extract keywords, generate summaries, translate content, or perform other transformations.
Advanced Analytics
Send article data to multiple analytics platforms, databases, and tracking tools simultaneously for comprehensive reporting.
Troubleshooting
Webhook Not Triggering
If your scenario isn't running:
- Verify your webhook URL is correct in Casper
- Check that your scenario is turned on in Make.com
- Run the scenario once manually to capture the data structure
- Check Make.com's execution history for errors
Data Mapping Issues
If data isn't mapping correctly:
- Run the scenario once to capture the actual data structure
- Use Make.com's data mapping interface to select the correct fields
- Check that you're accessing nested data correctly (e.g., data.title)
- Use Make.com's data transformation tools if needed
Common Questions
Do I need a Make.com account?
Yes, you'll need a Make.com account. Make.com offers a free plan with limited operations, and paid plans for higher volume usage.
Can I use multiple scenarios?
Yes! You can create multiple scenarios that all use the same webhook URL, or create separate webhook connections for different workflows.
What's the difference between Make and Zapier?
Make.com offers more advanced features like visual workflow builders, routers, filters, and data transformation tools. It's better suited for complex, multi-step automations.
