How to Add Another App in a Make.com Scenario

When you build automations in make.com, you will often need to connect more than one application in a single scenario. This guide explains, step by step, how to add another app, choose and configure new modules, and keep your scenario clear and maintainable.

The instructions below are based on the official product documentation, adapted into a structured, SEO-friendly how-to guide.

Overview: Expanding a Make.com Scenario

In a typical scenario, you start with one trigger or module and then extend the flow with more modules from the same or different apps. Adding another app in make.com lets you:

• Send data from one service to another automatically.
• Chain multiple actions and filters together.
• Build complex workflows without code.

The process always follows the same logic: select where to place the new module, search for the app, pick the module, then configure it.

Step 1: Open Your Scenario in Make.com

First, open the scenario where you want to add a new app. You can work with an existing automation or start from a blank canvas.

1. Log in to your make.com account.
2. On the dashboard, click Scenarios.
3. Select an existing scenario or create a new one.
4. Open the scenario editor to view the current modules and connections.

The scenario editor is the main place where you design and maintain your automations.

Step 2: Choose Where to Add a New Make.com Module

Every new app you add in make.com appears as a module in the scenario. You must choose the exact point in the workflow where the new module will connect.

You have two main options:

• Add a module at the end of the current chain.
• Insert a module between existing modules to enrich or transform data in the middle of the flow.

Adding a Module at the End of a Make.com Scenario

1. In the editor, locate the last module in the chain.
2. Hover over the right side of that module.
3. Click the small plus (+) icon that appears.
4. This opens the list of available apps.

This option is best when you simply want to continue the flow, for example by sending a notification or writing data to a database after some processing is done.

Inserting a Module Between Existing Make.com Modules

Sometimes you need to insert a transformation, filter, or additional step between two modules.

1. Find the connection line between the two modules where you want the new step to sit.
2. Click directly on the connection line.
3. Choose the option to add a module on that connection.
4. The connection splits, creating space for the new module.

This method is useful when you want to validate data, enrich a record, or perform an extra action before the data continues down the chain.

Step 3: Select the App You Want to Add in Make.com

Once you choose the position, a search window appears so you can select the app.

1. Use the search bar to type the name of the application or service you want to add.
2. Browse the list or rely on autocomplete suggestions.
3. Click the app name to see available modules for that app.

If you are not sure which integration you need, you can start typing related keywords. Make.com lists apps and modules that match the term.

Step 4: Pick the Correct Module Type

Each app in make.com offers several modules that perform specific actions or retrieve data in different ways. Common module types include:

• Triggers – start a scenario when an event happens.
• Actions – create, update, or delete data.
• Searches – look up existing records.
• Iterators, aggregators, and utilities – process data in bulk, transform, or format it.

When the list of modules appears:

1. Read the module descriptions to understand what each one does.
2. Choose the module that best matches the step you need.
3. Click the module to add it to your scenario.

The new module appears in the editor at the position you selected earlier.

Step 5: Connect or Create an Account for the App

Most apps in make.com require a connection to your user account so the platform can perform operations on your behalf.

1. After choosing a module, open its configuration panel.
2. Look for the Connection field.
3. Select an existing connection if you have already used this app.
4. Or click Add (or Add a connection) to create a new one.

When creating a new connection:

• You may be redirected to the app’s login or authorization page.
• Grant the requested permissions so make.com can access the necessary data.
• Return to the scenario editor once authorization is complete.

After the connection is set up, the module can read and write data as defined by the module’s function and your permissions.

Step 6: Configure Fields and Mapping in the Make.com Module

With the connection ready, you must configure the module so it behaves correctly in the scenario.

1. Open the module by clicking its icon in the editor.
2. Review all required and optional fields in the configuration panel.
3. Use the dropdowns and text fields to specify how the module should operate.
4. Click data bubbles from previous modules to map values into the fields.

Field mapping is what allows make.com to pass data from one app to another seamlessly. For example, you might map:

• An email address from a form module into a CRM module.
• An order ID from an e‑commerce app into an invoicing app.
• A timestamp into a logging or reporting module.

When you finish configuring, save the module configuration before proceeding.

Step 7: Validate and Test Your Updated Make.com Scenario

Whenever you add another app in make.com, you should test the updated scenario to confirm that everything runs smoothly.

1. Click the Run once button in the scenario editor.
2. Trigger the scenario event (for example, submit a form or send a test request).
3. Watch each module execute in sequence and check for errors.
4. Open the execution details to review the data flowing through your new module.

If you see any unexpected results, return to the module configuration and adjust fields or mappings as needed. Repeat the test until the scenario behaves as expected.

Tips for Managing Multiple Apps in Make.com

As your integrations grow more complex, good organization becomes essential.

• Use clear module names so you can quickly identify what each step does.
• Group related steps logically, for example by function or app.
• Add notes or comments where possible to explain non-obvious logic.
• Test incrementally whenever you add or change a module.

These habits help you maintain your automations over time and reduce debugging effort.
