Make sends you the secret in an email when you register. | **Key** | **Value** | | --------------- | ---------------- | | `x-make-secret` | Your Make secret | ## Check student eligibility You can check student eligibility for the program before sending coupon requests: - **Eligible:** The student receives an email with a call to action to confirm their address. - **Not eligible:** The student is not contacted (error code `409` - duplicate). You inform the student that they've already used a Make coupon. ### Endpoint This endpoint checks whether a student is eligible for the program: `GET https://l.make.com/edtech-check-student` ### Headers | **Name** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description** | | --------------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | | `x-edtech-name` | String | Yes | Your organization name | | `x-user-email` | String | Yes | The student's email address (`+` is an invalid symbol) | ### Request example ```json { "x-edtech-name": "your organization name", "x-user-email": "user@example.com" } ``` ### Response example ```json { "transaction": "check-student", "status": "not_eligible - PENDING_MOBILE - 2026-03-15T12:44:56.000Z", "issued_on": "2026-03-15", "email": "email@email.com", "timestamp": "2026-06-02T13:55:07.478Z" } ``` ## Send a coupon request in test mode By default, your organization is set to test mode. In test mode, Make sends a non-functional coupon to the email address and phone number of the person who registered the organization, not to students. Send a request in test mode first, then switch to production. ### Endpoint This endpoint enrolls a student in the program and triggers the coupon flow: `POST https://l.make.com/edtech-add-student` ### Body | **Name** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description** | | --------------------- | -------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | `x-ops-mode` | String | Yes | `TEST` or `PROD` | | `x-edtech-name` | String | Yes | Organization name exactly as written in the registration email | | `x-user-id` | String | Yes | Student's internal user ID | | `x-schooling-id` | String | Yes | Student's internal course ID | | `x-user-first-name` | String | Yes | Student's first name | | `x-user-last-name` | String | Yes | Student's last name | | `x-user-email` | String | Yes | Student's email address (`+` is an invalid symbol) | | `x-user-mobile-phone` | String | Yes | Student's phone number in international format | | `x-custom-field-1` | String | No | Additional information | | `x-custom-field-2` | String | No | Additional information | | `x-custom-field-3` | String | No | Additional information | | `x-custom-field-4` | String | No | Additional information | ### Request example ```json { "x-ops-mode": "TEST", "x-edtech-name": "your organization name", "x-user-id": "your user id", "x-schooling-id": "your course id", "x-user-first-name": "student first name", "x-user-last-name": "student last name", "x-user-email": "user@example.com", "x-user-mobile-phone": "student phone number in international format", "x-custom-field-1": "optional-value", "x-custom-field-2": "optional-value", "x-custom-field-3": "optional-value", "x-custom-field-4": "optional-value" } ``` :::hint{type="info"} Add any custom fields that you need, or delete them. ::: ### Response example ```json { "transaction": "add-student", "sub-transaction": "NEW", "status": "accepted", "email": "email@email.com", "comment": "OK - Process initiated successfully", "timestamp": "2026-06-17T11:15:57.622Z" } ``` ## Send a request in production mode Once your test request is successful, switch to production mode to send actual coupons to students: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Click the go-to-production link that you received in your registration confirmation email. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem On the page that opens, click the button and submit the form. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/ekI8hGCbC2NTMbS9ol5W7_lets-go-to-prod.png" size="80" isUploading="false" position="center" width="696" height="330" darkWidth="696" darkHeight="330" showCaption="false"} Make sends you a confirmation email when your organization is set to production. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Send the same request as in test mode, but set `x-ops-mode` to `PROD` and use actual student data. ::: :::: You've now sent a request in production mode. ## Troubleshooting This section covers rate limits, HTTP status codes, and solutions to common issues. ### Rate limits Make limits the number of API calls to five per minute. If calls exceed this number, the API returns a `429` error code. Wait, resend the request until you receive a `200 `response. ### HTTP status codes When you make an API request, the API returns an HTTP status code to indicate whether your request was processed. | **Code** | **Meaning** | **Action required** | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | **200** | Processed successfully | No action required. | | **401** | Missing secret | Resend with the correct secret. | | **401** | Missing required field(s) | Resend with all required fields. | | **401** | Account inactive | Check account status. | | **401** | Account not found | Verify account details. | | **401** | Incorrect secret | Resend with the correct secret. | | **401** | Banned or hard-banned | Contact support. | | **408** | Email is malformed or contains an alias character (`+`) | Resend with a valid email address. | | **409** | Duplicate request | Check for duplicate submissions. | | **429** | Too many requests | Wait, then resend. | | **500** | Service unavailable | Wait, then resend. | ### Banned account A high volume of failing requests triggers an automatic 24-hour ban. When this happens, stop sending requests and resolve the issue; each additional failing request extends the ban by another 24 hours. :::hint{type="warning"} If you exceed the failure threshold, your account is hard-banned. Contact support to unlock it. ::: ### Unrecognized account `401` errors citing an organization not found usually mean your company name is entered incorrectly. Enter the company name exactly as it appeared during registration. To confirm the correct name, check any email you received after registration. Your company name appears at the top of each message. ### Incorrect student email address Students can only redeem a coupon after confirming a valid email address. An invalid email format blocks redemption and returns a `408` error. If the student provides a correctly formatted email address that doesn't exist, the coupon won't be delivered to them and you won't be notified. ### Incorrect student phone number or text message delivery failure If a student's phone number is incorrect, or a text message can't be delivered, the program admin receives a text message notification at the number provided during registration. If that number is also incorrect or unreachable, the notification goes to the admin email address provided during registration. Check your inbox regularly to avoid delays. ## Contact support For additional help, contact [edtech-support-sc@make.com](mailto\:edtech-support-sc@make.com).
