Supercharge Your Workflow with Make.com (formerly Integromat)
Make.com is a powerful no-code automation platform allowing you to connect various apps and services to create custom workflows without writing a single line of code. Think of it as a visual programming language for automating repetitive tasks across your favorite applications.
How it Works:
Make.com uses a visual, drag-and-drop interface to build “scenarios.” These scenarios define the sequence of actions you want to automate. You select your trigger app (e.g., a new email arrives in Gmail), then add modules representing different actions (e.g., create a new entry in a Google Sheet, send a Slack message). Make.com handles the complex integrations behind the scenes.
Example Use Cases:
- Marketing Automation: Automatically add new leads from a form submission to your CRM and trigger a welcome email sequence.
- Sales Process Optimization: Update your sales pipeline in Salesforce when a deal is closed in your project management tool.

- Visual Workflow Builder: Easy-to-use interface for designing complex automations.
