Set Up SMS Integrations Easily with Make

Make is one of the fastest growing automation platforms on the market, which makes good sense considering they offer a user-friendly platform that is free to use as long as you run fewer than 1,000 tasks per month. In addition, Make offers high stability (99.99% uptime) as well as high security.

With the hundreds of apps and services that have been added to Make so far, such as Shopify, Facebook, Instagram, CRM systems, billing systems, spreadsheets and email clients, there is a good chance that you will find the systems, services or apps you already use in your organization.

The available apps in Make are built around so-called triggers and actions. They can be described as a series of complex functions, which are incredibly easy to connect across different apps because of the way Make has been designed.

An example of a trigger is that a package is ready to be delivered from a Shopify webshop, which is intercepted by the Shopify app in Make, after which an action is carried out. In this case the app dispatches an SMS via GatewayAPI to the customer.

If you have not already done so, first create a GatewayAPI account. Afterwards, create a Make account.

Once the accounts are created, you can set up your first integrations by following the steps in the guides below.

• Go to your Make account
• Go to “scenarios” in the menu on the left
• Click on “create a new scenario”
• Search for GatewayAPI
• When you set up the app, you will be asked for your unique GatewayAPI key, which you can find on your GatewayAPI dashboard under ‘API keys’ and ‘Token’.
• Now you are ready to get started setting up SMS integrations and automations with your favorite services. 
• You can also select the templates we have created, which you can see below.

Note that Make previously went by the name Integromat, which is why we refer to the platform with this name in the videos.
