Make.com (formerly Integromat) is a capable hosted automation platform. We build scenarios on it — and we tell you when your volume has made self-hosting cheaper.
Make.com connects hundreds of services through a visual scenario builder, and for a lot of businesses it is the fastest route from a manual process to an automated one. No infrastructure, no deployment, and a working automation the same day.
Its pricing is per operation. That is excellent while volumes are modest and becomes the main cost of your automation once they are not — and because each scenario run consumes operations, the bill grows with success. Knowing where that crossover sits is worth more than any individual scenario.
Reading the documentation is the easy half. These are the areas that decide whether an integration takes weeks or months — and the ones we scope carefully before quoting.
We have no favourite here. Make.com is the right answer for modest volumes, for getting something working quickly, and where nobody wants to own infrastructure. We will build on it and build it properly.
Where volumes are high, or the workflows carry customer and financial data you would rather keep on your own infrastructure, self-hosted n8n does the same job with no per-operation charge — and we host and manage it. We also host the applications those workflows talk to. We will give you the arithmetic for your actual volume rather than a recommendation that happens to suit us.
Two things. First, scenarios can usually be restructured to do the same work for far fewer operations — loops over records are the common culprit. Second, past a certain volume, self-hosted automation removes per-operation cost entirely. We will work out where your volume actually sits before recommending either.
Make.com if volumes are modest, you want it working this week, and you would rather not own infrastructure. Self-hosted n8n if volumes are high, or the data in those workflows is sensitive enough that you want it on your own servers. We build both, so the answer you get is not driven by what we would prefer to sell.
Yes, through generic HTTP calls with proper authentication. It is routine, though it does mean the scenario carries more of the logic itself, which makes error handling matter more.
Most often the error handling was never added — the platform makes the happy path so easy that it is a natural thing to leave for later — or a connection expired with nothing set up to raise the alarm. Both are straightforward to fix, and an audit will tell you which you are dealing with.
Yes. Scenarios are not portable, so this is a rebuild rather than an export — which is the moment to add the error handling and monitoring the originals never had.
We are usually working in several of these at once, which is how we know where each one bites. See all integrations for the full list.
