Make
A visual automation platform for connecting apps into multi-step scenarios, with a more flexible canvas than Zapier.
Make (formerly Integromat) is a hosted automation tool built around a visual canvas. Its "scenarios" handle branching, iteration, and data transformation more expressively than a simple trigger-action list, while staying no-code.
Like other hosted platforms it runs in the vendor's cloud and prices by operation volume.
Where it fits
A good fit when an automation needs real branching and data shaping but the team still wants a visual, no-code tool.
Where it does not fit
The same hosted-cloud and per-operation-cost constraints as any SaaS automation tool: wrong where data must stay in-house.
