Introduction to Make apps
Make is a no-code integration platform that allows you to connect multiple apps and facilitate data transfer between them. By using the modules within these apps, you can design scenarios that can be scheduled to align with your workflows.
One of the key benefits of Make is that it empowers you to share data across apps without requiring any coding expertise. To read more about how Make works, go to our Get started section.
What are Make apps?
Make apps are integrations of third-party APIs or Make built-in tools. Each app consists of modules.
Types of Make apps
Make divides apps into different types based on their origin and availability:
- Verified apps: apps verified by Make developers
- Community apps: apps developed by partners and power users
- Custom apps: apps developed by Make users
Verified apps
Verified apps are developed either by Make developers or by other Make users. Verified apps made by a third party have to pass the Make app review process and have to be actively maintained.
Verified apps further differ in their availability in Make pricing plans:
- Standard apps: All Make users can use standard apps.
- Paid plan apps: All Make users with a paid plan (Core, Pro, Teams, and Enterprise) can use paid plan apps.
In the Scenario Builder, paid plan apps are marked with a Paid plans label, as shown in this example.
- Enterprise apps: All Make users in organizations with the Enterprise plan can use enterprise apps.
In the Scenario Builder, enterprise apps are marked with an Enterprise label, as shown in this example:
Community apps
Community apps are developed by Make partners and power users who have taken dedicated training. Unlike verified apps, community apps don't go through Make's app review process. Support, maintenance, and monetization of a community app is the responsibility of the app developer.
You can check all the community apps on the Make Apps & services page when you filter to show community apps only.
In the Scenario Builder, you can identify the community apps by the Community label:
Community apps may require an additional purchase to use. Make does not earn money or commission on these purchases. You purchase them directly from the developer.
To use a community app in your scenarios, you must first install the app in your Make organization. You must have the Admin, Owner, or App Developer role to install an app.
You can learn more about Community apps and how to create them in our Developer Hub:
Custom apps
Custom apps are developed by Make users. Make provides a web interface where you can create and manage your custom app configurations.
Custom apps are available to Make users based on their visibility:
- Private apps: The custom app developer and users in all organizations they are part of can use the app.
- Public apps: Access to the app is on an invite-only basis. The app developer has to share an invite link with you.
