If you know or use Make (or Make.com) you love it. That’s just the way it is. Make is single-handedly one of the most powerful automization tools you can use to optimize business workflows.
What is Make.com?
Make.com is a visual automation platform that enables users to connect apps and services, creating custom workflows that automate tasks and streamline processes. With its intuitive drag-and-drop builder, Make.com allows users to design complex scenarios involving data transfers, conditional logic, and real-time automation. By integrating with thousands of apps, APIs, and webhooks, the platform caters to diverse needs, from syncing CRM data to automating eCommerce operations. It’s ideal for businesses and developers looking to simplify and optimize their workflows effectively.
What does the Plugin do?
The Make.com WordPress plugin, formerly known as the Integromat Connector, integrates WordPress with the Make.com platform to enable seamless workflow automation directly within WordPress websites. This plugin simplifies connecting WordPress to thousands of apps and services, allowing users to automate tasks like publishing content, syncing user data, and managing forms or eCommerce actions. With features such as triggers and real-time updates, it’s ideal for developers and site administrators looking to streamline operations without extensive manual effort.
Why not use the API?
Using the Make.com WordPress plugin over the API offers several advantages:
- Ease of Use: The plugin provides a straightforward, user-friendly interface, making it accessible for non-technical users who may find API integration more complex.
- Quick Setup: Unlike APIs that require coding and manual setup, the plugin simplifies the process with pre-built triggers and actions.
- Real-Time Automation: The plugin ensures seamless real-time syncing and automation directly from WordPress without additional API configurations.
- Predefined Workflows: With ready-to-use integrations, the plugin streamlines common tasks like user management, content publishing, and form handling.

Recommendation
We recommend you using the Make.com WordPress Plugin if you consider yourself somewhat of a web designer or frontend developer instead of a backend developer and do not have that much insight about the WordPress API. Make.com and it’s WordPress Plugin are particularly useful if you do not have your own automation server and do not want the hassle to keep it up and running with all the changes happening to different services. We recommend you try it out for yourself on your local or development server. It really helps if you want to quicken up your workflow.
