How to integrate SendPulse with other services via Make (formerly Integromat)

The Integromat service has changed its website address, design and name to Make. The integration options remain the same, but the design may differ from the screenshots shown in the article.

You can use Make (formerly Integromat) to create a scenario for automatically collecting, processing and transferring information from one service to another. SendPulse has 450 API methods for different services that you can use with the other 850 services and applications supported by Make.

In this article, we will show how you can use the SendPulse element to automate the transfer of information between services to establish communication with your clients.

Connecting the SendPulse element

You need to authorize requests to use the methods in the SendPulse API for integrations with other applications. To authorize your requests, you can use a token that you can get by sending the ID and Secret from your account settings in the API tab.

Add the SendPulse element, and choose a method. You can find more details about the choice of triggers and actions in the article.

In the Connection field, click Add, and enter the ID and Secret from the API tab in the account settings in SendPulse.

Click Continue.

If you use multiple SendPulse accounts, you can rename your connection to differentiate between them.

You can review the list of connections, update permissions, and delete irrelevant connections in the Connections tab.

Module types

Make distinguishes different module types.

You can use the SendPulse elements as:

Triggers

The Make SendPulse: Watch Events element or the standard Make Webhooks: Custom Webhook element both serve as scenario triggers.

You can paste the webhook link into the following tracking locations:

To create a webhook link in Make, click the + on the starting element, and select the SendPulse element.

Log in to your SendPulse account, and copy the webhook link.

Search

To get information from the SendPulse service, you need to use the SendPulse element with the GET method action.

For example, you can request a list of active and blocked contacts, information on campaigns sent in Email, CRM, PUSH, and Chatbots, information on deals and pipelines in CRM, and information on chatbots and flows in Chatbots.

With Make, you can use ready-made search methods, or you can manually add any other method from the SendPulse API documentation using the SendPulse element with the Make API Call action.

In the SendPulse API documentation, you can also see sample responses for each method, so you can choose the method to get the right variables and use them in the next elements or filters.

Using the ready-made method

The following search methods have been added to Make:

To add an element using a ready-made method, select the SendPulse element with a method that starts with Get, List, or Search.

Fill in the fields by following the hints. You can insert a static value if you want to make queries with the same data or use dynamic values if you want to make queries with the value of the variables you got in the previous elements.

To use dynamic values, select the variable obtained in the previous elements.

If you don't have variables from the previous element, click Run once next to it, and play the event tracked by the element.

Checking the execution of the element

After you have configured the element, right-click on it, and select Run this module only. If you have used static values, you will immediately see the result of the data search. If you need to test the search for dynamic variables, click Run once, run the start event, and test the whole bundle.

To view the result, click on the number above the executed element.

Under Input you can view the data that was used to send the request. Under Output you can view the data that the element received after executing the request.

Using the manual method

To use a search method from the SendPulse API that is not on the list, select the SendPulse element with the Make API call method.

Fill in the fields, following the SendPulse API documentation on the method:

In the URL field, enter the request URL, and select a method.

For some methods, additional parameters that allow you to refine your data and narrow your search results are available.

/instagram/contacts/getByTag?tag=test&bot_id=614873aedd5cf342dd394502.

You can check the module the same way you check the execution of the element.

Here is a list of search methods that are not on the ready-made list, but you can use them as well:

Actions

To create a new object, update information about an object, or delete an object in the SendPulse service, you need to use the "SendPulse" element with action using the POST (create), PUT (update), and DELETE (delete) methods.

For example, you can create, update, or delete contacts, pipelines, deals, tags, send email, SMS, PUSH, Viber campaigns, chatbot messages, start flows, and more.

The actions can also include creating an event in A360. For example, you can send order or user registration data to the created URL using the POST method and trigger Automation360 or bot flows. You can copy the example of the acceptable structure in the request body when creating the event.

In Make, you can use ready-made search methods, or you can manually add any other method from the SendPulse API documentation using the SendPulse element with the Make API Call action.

In the SendPulse API documentation, you can also see request body samples to copy them and use sample responses for each method. You can do this in order to choose the method to get the variables you want and use it in the next elements or filters.

Using the ready-made method

The following action methods have been added to Make:

To add a element using a ready-made method, select the SendPulse element with a method that starts with an action verb, creating or changing the object property: "Create," "Update," "Send," "Run," "Verify," "Unsubscribe," and "Set."

Fill in the fields, following the hints. You can insert a static value if you want to make queries with the same data or use dynamic values if you want to make queries with the value of the variables you got in the previous elements.

To use dynamic values, select the variable obtained in the previous scenario elements.

If you don't have variables from the previous element, click Run once next to it, and play the event tracked by the element.

You can check the module the same way you check the execution of the element.

Using the manual method

To use a search method from the SendPulse API that is not on the list, select the SendPulse element with the Make API call method.

Fill in the fields, following the SendPulse API documentation on the method:

For example, use the Create deal in CRM method. In the URL field, insert the URL of the method, and select the POST method.

Insert the body of your query. You can get an example of the query and a description of all parameters in the method documentation.

You can insert a static variable value if you want to make queries with the same data or use dynamic values if you want to make queries with the value of the variables you got in the previous elements.

To use dynamic values, select the variable obtained in the previous scenario elements.

You can check the module the same way you check the execution of the element.

Here is a list of search methods that are not on the ready-made list, but you can use them as well:

Additional features in Make

Make also has additional tools for data processing. For example, you can use Filter to filter your received data, use Router to branch scenarios, use Aggregator and Iterator to combine and merge your received data, and use built-in tools to format data within each field.
