WeWeb + Make Integration Guide
Make (formerly Integromat) adds automation superpowers to WeWeb apps. By triggering Make webhook scenarios from WeWeb form submissions and button clicks, you can send emails, sync CRMs, post to Slack, generate PDFs, and run multi-step automations — all without a dedicated backend server.
Why WeWeb + Make?
Make is a visual automation platform that connects to 1,500+ apps through pre-built modules. For WeWeb builders, Make fills the automation gap that WeWeb's frontend cannot cover: sending transactional emails, syncing data to a CRM, generating documents, notifying Slack channels, or scheduling recurring tasks. A single Make scenario can replace hundreds of lines of backend code, and WeWeb's webhook action makes triggering it trivially simple.
Setting up the integration
In Make, create a new scenario and add a Custom Webhook trigger module. Copy the generated webhook URL. In WeWeb, create a workflow triggered by a form submission or button click, and add a REST API POST action pointing to the Make webhook URL. Pass the form data as a JSON body. Back in Make, run the scenario once with a test payload from WeWeb — Make will auto-detect the data structure and expose the fields for use in downstream modules.
Common automation patterns
The most common WeWeb + Make patterns are: contact form → Make webhook → send email via SendGrid + add row to Google Sheets + notify Slack; user registration → webhook → create record in CRM + send welcome email; booking form → webhook → calendar invite + confirmation SMS + update database. Make's error handling and retry logic mean these automations are reliable even when downstream services are slow.
Real-world use cases
App Studio uses WeWeb + Make for: onboarding automation (send a welcome email sequence when a user signs up in WeWeb), lead capture (route WeWeb contact forms to HubSpot and notify the sales team in Slack), document generation (trigger a Make scenario that assembles a PDF from WeWeb form data and emails it), and multi-app sync (keep a Supabase database and an Airtable base in sync after a WeWeb form submission).
Common pitfalls
Make scenarios run asynchronously by default — WeWeb won't wait for the scenario to complete. For flows where WeWeb needs a response (e.g., a generated PDF URL), use Make's Respond to Webhook module to send data back to WeWeb. Secure your webhooks with a shared secret in the URL or request headers and validate it in Make's Router. Free Make accounts have limited operations per month — estimate your volume before going live to avoid hitting limits.
