ZapierMakeFrom Zapier to Make

Migrate from Zapier to Make

Zapier is easy to start with. When Zaps grow branches, loops and data clean-up, teams move them to Make, where every step, route and bundle of data is visible on one canvas.

Why teams move from Zapier to Make

Complex flows read better: routers, iterators and aggregators are built into Make, so branching and looping are not workarounds.

You see the data: every run shows what each module received and returned, which makes debugging long flows faster.

Pricing models differ: Zapier counts tasks, Make counts operations. Which costs less depends on the workflow, so we estimate both for your busiest Zaps first.

Enterprise controls: Make Enterprise adds your own single sign-on, teams and roles, longer log storage and support terms, as Make lists them.

Zapier concepts in Make

What each part of a Zapier workflow becomes when it is rebuilt as a Make scenario.

In ZapierIn Make
ZapScenario
Trigger stepTrigger module (instant through a webhook, or polling on a schedule)
Action stepModule
FilterFilter on the link between two modules
PathsRouter, with a filter on each route
Formatter by ZapierMake's built-in functions in the mapping panel (text, date, math, arrays)
Looping by ZapierIterator, then an aggregator to collect the results
Storage by Zapier and Zapier TablesData stores, with a data structure for each
Webhooks by ZapierWebhooks module (custom webhook) and the HTTP module
Code by ZapierBuilt-in functions, custom functions on Enterprise, or a call to your own endpoint
Delay by ZapierScheduling, or the sleep tool for short waits
Sub-ZapsA separate scenario called through a webhook
Task historyScenario history, with the data of every run

How the move runs

The same stages, in this order. We give a written plan and scope after the inventory.

  1. 1
    Inventory 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.

  2. 2
    Map 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.

  3. 3
    Set 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.

  4. 4
    Rebuild 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.

  5. 5
    Cut 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.

  6. 6
    Retire 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 Zapier

  • 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.
  • Zaps with many paths often become one scenario with a router; Zaps that only chain two apps may be retired in favour of a native integration.

Make Enterprise features that help this move

As Make publishes them; the source is named on each card.

Your own single sign-on

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

Source: make.com/security
Teams and roles

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/security
Longer log storage

Log 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/security
Uptime and support terms

Enterprise Plan customers get 99.5% cloud service uptime and Enterprise support with defined SLAs.

Frequently asked questions

Can Zaps be imported into Make automatically?

We do not rely on an automatic converter. We inventory the Zaps and rebuild each one as a scenario. A Zap's steps map closely to Make modules, so most rebuilds are direct.

Will our apps be on Make?

Most are: Make has thousands of app integrations and an HTTP module for any API. The inventory checks every app and the exact trigger or action you use before anything is rebuilt.

Will Make cost more or less than Zapier?

It depends on the workflow. Zapier counts tasks and Make counts operations, so a flow with loops or many steps can come out differently on each. We estimate operations for your busiest scenarios before you commit.
