CIMcloud Make App

Overview

Make, formerly Integromat, is a third party iPaaS solution that simplifies moving data between software platforms. The CIMcloud Make App simplifies sharing & moving data (via the Make platform) between CIMcloud and 1000’s of other software platforms (that also have pre-built integrations with Make).

A Make account (and any associated pricing they charge) is not included with the CIMcloud Make App. You will need create your own account at your expense.

What is iPaaS?

Make is a popular, no-code iPaaS. iPaaS stands for Integration Platform as a Service. It is a cloud-based solution that enables organizations to connect disparate applications, data sources, and systems (both cloud-based and on-premises) to automate workflows and synchronize data without requiring extensive, custom coding. This section broadly describes the iPaaS software category.

The Problem It Solves: Companies often use hundreds of different SaaS applications (e.g., Salesforce, Slack, Gmail) that don’t talk to each other, creating “data silos” and forcing employees to perform manual data entry.
The Solution: An iPaaS acts as a “digital bridge,” using pre-built connectors to link these systems, allowing data to flow freely and automating business processes (like automatically creating a CRM lead when a user fills out a web form).
Key Features: Most iPaaS tools offer visual drag-and-drop interfaces (no-code or low-code), data transformation (mapping data between different formats), and centralized monitoring.
Benefits: It saves time, reduces human error, breaks down data silos, and reduces IT workload.

What is Make (Integromat)?

Make is software company that has a cloud-based automation platform (iPaaS) that lets you connect apps and automate workflows by visually creating “scenarios” without code. It simplifies API calls and enables real-time data synchronization across systems, helping businesses automate repetitive tasks and integrate disparate tools.

Visual Automation: Make uses a visual, drag-and-drop builder to create “scenarios” (automations) that connect different apps.
API Management: It acts as an API-driven, no-code middleware to connect over 1,500+ apps.
Data Transformation: Similar to other iPaaS, it maps data between applications and can handle complex logic, such as IF/THEN scenarios, to manipulate data as it flows between systems.
Target Market: While many iPaaS are aimed at enterprises, Make (Integromat) is designed to be accessible to smaller businesses (SMBs) and individual users, while still having the power for complex, high-volume automations.

In summary, Make provides the core functionality of an iPaaS by allowing you to connect various apps, synchronize data, and automate workflows in a, no-code, cloud-native environment.

What Is the CIMcloud Make App?

Building on Make’s automation capabilities, CIMcloud’s Make App provides pre-built modules that connect CIMcloud’s API with other systems to get, search, create, and update data between platforms.

At it’s root, Make simplifies API calls between third parties by creating “scenarios”. With CIMcloud’s API Framework, we have built a custom Make App to Get, Search, Create, and Update data.
