Overview

(formerly known as Integromat) is a free online automation tool that connects apps and automates manual workflows by using an easy to use, no-code, visual builder. With Make, you can quickly connect your favorite apps, services, and devices with each other to automate your custom workflows and save time - without needing to know how to code or hire a developer.

  • Create Scenarios (no-code workflows) that connect Lob with hundreds of popular

  • Allows you to create your own custom app through the Developer Platform

  • Supports functions in the same manner as Excel

  • Choose whether to retrieve data from the past or dynamically after activation to inform your Scenarios

  • Best fit for teams that are sending small - medium sized mail campaigns (<1,500 per run)

  • Sign up for a to create custom workflows or use prebuilt Scenarios

Integration directions

Make's platform allows users to build Scenarios by connecting Modules. By linking together multiples Modules of your favorite apps/services, you can easily create a Scenario that will automate data transfers between apps and subsequent workflows.

Integration occurs in three easy steps:

  1. Sign up for and

  2. Connect Lob to Make

  3. Create custom workflows, or use ones

Sign up for Make

  1. Create an account by clicking on the Sign Up button on the top right of the screen

Connecting Lob to Make

  1. In the Make dashboard, click on "+ Create a new Scenario" button at the top right corner of the home screen

  2. Search for "Lob" in the app directory and hit "Continue"

  3. In the visual Scenario builder, click on the Lob icon and select the action you’d like to take from the drop down menu

    • Example actions: Send a letter or postcard, verify an address, make an API call

    • Use your Test Lob API Key initially to ensure that everything is working as expected, then switch to your Live API Key later to send live mail

  4. Once you've tested your first Scenario, switch the API key to the Live key and begin sending physical mail!

Use pre-built Lob modules

  • Create a Letter: Takes your API key, to/from address data, creative data (HTML or PDF), and Mail Class

  • Create a Postcard: Takes your API key, to/from address data, creative data (HTML or PDF), and Mail Class

  • Create a Self-mailer: Takes your API key, to/from address data, creative data (HTML or PDF), and Mail Class

  • Verify a US Address: Takes your API key and address data

  • Verify an International Address: Takes your API key and address data

  • Send a Generic API Request to Lob: Takes your API request payload

Connecting Lob with other services

For example, to connect Google Drive to Make:

  1. Create credentials for the new project, adding Make to the project’s Scope and allowing external users

  2. Create the application

  3. Retrieve Client ID and Secret

  4. Use ID and Secret to establish Make connection

Creating Scenarios

Building Scenarios

Watch how you can easily connect addresses stored in Google Sheets to Lob with Make to send a simple postcard in three steps:

Sharing Scenarios

Blueprints are detailed plans for how a Scenario (low-code workflow) is set up and how it will work. This allows other stakeholders to understand the composition of your automation in detail, share it with other teammates, and troubleshoot when necessary.

Export a Make blueprint

  1. The ‘blueprint.json’ file will then be downloaded to your device’s folder.

Download/Import a Make blueprint

  1. In the scenario builder screen, click on the “More” button (same box as above). Click “Import Blueprint.”

  2. Once the file has been submitted to your Import Blueprint builder click on the “Save” button.

  3. Once complete, you will receive a confirmation banner along the bottom right side of your scenario builder screen.

Troubleshooting

I don't see how to input the merge fields for my template

To integrate merge variables on Integromat, you need to paste the full HTML string directly into the text box, then use the built-in merge functionality from Integromat to insert variable content.

This is an example of how that might look:

Note: PDFs do not support merge variables. HTML in Integromat is limited to 10,000 characters.

How do I connect a Google Sheets account to Make?

In order to use Make, connect Google Sheets (or any other app that holds your data) to Make, then connect Lob to Make using the instructions above. Here are instructions for connecting Google Sheets:

  1. Sign up for a Make account. On Make’s dashboard landing page, click on the “+Create a new scenario” button on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

  2. Search for the app/service you’d like to connect that stores your customer data, “Google Sheets” and select the resulting icon at the bottom of the page

  3. Click on the continue button on the top right side of the page.

  4. When you enter your scenario builder screen, you will see a blank module. Click on the module and select the “Google Sheets” option.

  5. Make should now integrated with Google Sheets. You can continue to build out your module by completing the scenario with your new Sheets connection.
