Enterprise customers can use their own SSO implementation, so access to the new platform follows your identity rules from the first day.

From Workato to MakeMigrate from Workato to Make
Workato recipes often run the enterprise's most important hand-offs. Moving them to Make Enterprise keeps those hand-offs running while more teams can see, change and own them.
Why teams move from Workato to Make
Cost against use: teams often find a large share of a contract covers recipes that rarely run. The inventory shows what is really used.
More builders: Make's visual canvas lets operations teams own their scenarios, with roles and teams to control who changes what.
Enterprise apps: Make lists enterprise systems in its own Enterprise integrations category, and can call any HTTP API.
Enterprise controls: your own single sign-on, longer log storage and support terms on Make Enterprise, as Make lists them.
Workato concepts in Make
What each part of a Workato workflow becomes when it is rebuilt as a Make scenario.
| In Workato | In Make |
|---|---|
| Recipe | Scenario |
| Connector | App (a Make app and its modules) |
| Trigger (polling or real-time) | Trigger module, polling on a schedule or instant through a webhook |
| Action | Module (action or search) |
| IF and ELSE IF steps | Router, with a filter on each route |
| Repeat (for each) | Iterator, then an aggregator |
| Formula mode | Make's functions in the mapping panel |
| Lookup tables | Data stores |
| Callable recipes and recipe functions | A separate scenario called through a webhook |
| On-prem agent | The on-prem agent Make lists on Enterprise |
| Projects and folders | Teams and folders |
| Environments and recipe packages | Separate teams for development and production, with scenario blueprints (JSON) moved under change control |
| Workbot | Make's chat app modules, with webhooks for the replies |
| Task | Operation (billed in credits) |
How the move runs
The same stages, in this order. We give a written plan and scope after the inventory.
- 1Inventory what runs today
Every workflow, its owner, its trigger, the apps it touches, how often it runs and when it last ran. Anything that has not run in months is a candidate to retire, not migrate.
- 2Map concepts and connections
Each step is matched to a Make module. Apps without a Make module get an HTTP call or a custom app. Credentials are re-created as Make connections owned by service accounts, not people.
- 3Set up Make Enterprise
Organization, teams and roles, single sign-on, folders and naming, error-handling standards, data stores and data structures, decided before the first scenario is built.
- 4Rebuild and test side by side
Scenarios are rebuilt in priority order and run against test data. Outputs are compared with the old platform's for the same inputs until they match.
- 5Cut over in waves
Triggers move a group at a time: webhook senders are pointed at Make, polling triggers start from the right record, and the old workflow is switched off, not deleted, until the Make scenario has run cleanly.
- 6Retire and hand over
The old workflows are archived and the source account closed. Each scenario is documented in plain language, and your builders are trained on Make.
What to watch when leaving Workato
- Webhook URLs change: every system that calls the old platform has to be pointed at the new Make webhook.
- Polling triggers need a starting point, or the first Make run can pick up records the old platform already handled.
- OAuth connections are re-authorised in Make by someone who owns each account; passwords and tokens are never copied across.
- Usage is counted differently: estimate the operations each scenario will use (loops and iterators multiply them) before cutover.
- Formula-mode expressions are rewritten with Make's functions: test each one with real data.
- Check Make's module list for each enterprise connector you use; anything missing becomes an HTTP call to that system's API.
- Agree how changes move from development to production in Make before the first wave.
Make Enterprise features that help this move
As Make publishes them; the source is named on each card.
Roles and teams are managed inside the organization, so each migrated scenario has an owning team and only that team can change it.
Source: make.com/securityLog data is kept for 30 days by default, and the Enterprise Plan offers longer storage: useful when an audit asks what a scenario did.
Source: make.com/securityEnterprise Plan customers get 99.5% cloud service uptime and Enterprise support with defined SLAs.
Source: make.com/securityFrequently asked questions
Can Make connect to the enterprise systems our recipes use?
Usually. Make lists enterprise systems in its Enterprise integrations category, and our Make Enterprise apps hub has a page for each. Anything without a module is reached through the HTTP module and the system's API.
Do we lose environments and change control?
No, but it works differently. We set up separate teams for development and production and move scenario blueprints between them under your change process.
Can we run both platforms during the move?
Yes. Recipes stay on until their Make scenarios have run cleanly in production, then they are switched off in waves.
