Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform that connects thousands of apps. With Dashello and Make, you can build visual workflows that push data from any connected app into your Dashello dashboard - no code required. This guide walks you through setting up a Make scenario that sends metrics to Dashello using the HTTP module.

What Is Make?

Make is a visual platform for designing, building, and automating workflows. Unlike Zapier's linear approach, Make uses a visual scenario builder where you drag and drop modules, connect them with lines, and see your entire workflow at a glance. Make supports thousands of apps and gives you more control over data transformations, error handling, and complex routing logic.

Why Connect Make to Dashello?

Make's visual editor gives you more flexibility than traditional linear automations. You can build scenarios that pull from multiple sources, transform data conditionally, and then send only what matters to your Dashello dashboard. If you need complex workflows with branching logic, data formatting, and error handling, Make is the ideal tool.

Trigger App	Scenario	Dashello Metric
Gmail	Watch for new emails, filter by label, count per day	Support Emails
Airtable	Watch for new records, aggregate sales data	Monthly Revenue
Webhook	Receive data from any source, transform, push to Dashello	Custom Metric
Shopify	Watch new orders, calculate daily total	Daily Orders
Slack	Watch channel messages, count per channel	Team Messages

How to Set Up the Make Integration

Get your Dashello API key

Log into Dashello at app.dashello.co. Go to Settings → API Keys and click Generate New Key. Name it "Make Integration". Copy the key - it starts with dash_. You'll paste this into your Make scenario.

Create a new scenario in Make

In Make, click Create a new scenario. Start by choosing your trigger - the app that will kick off the workflow. For example, choose Gmail and select "Watch Emails" as the trigger. Configure the trigger settings and click OK.

Add the HTTP module

Click the plus icon to add a new module. Search for HTTP and select Make a request. This module sends data from your scenario to the Dashello API.

Configure the HTTP request

Configure the HTTP module with these settings:

URL: https://dashello.co/api/ingest/metric
Method: POST
Headers:
Authorization: Bearer dash_your_api_key
Content-Type: application/json
Body type: Raw
Content type: JSON (application/json)
Request content: Enter your JSON payload (see below)

{
  "metric": "Daily Revenue",
  "value": 25000,
  "source": "make"
}

Use Make's data mapping panel to pull dynamic values from your trigger module. For example, map value to the email count or a field from your trigger app.

Run and activate

Click Run once to test your scenario. Make will execute the workflow and send a test request to Dashello. Check your Dashello dashboard - the metric should update. If successful, turn on scheduling to run your scenario automatically.

Troubleshooting

HTTP module returns error

Double-check your API key in the Authorization header. Make sure it starts with dash_ and is active in Settings → API Keys.

Scenario runs but no data in dashboard

Check your Inbox in Dashello. If the metric name doesn't match an existing metric box, data is stored in your inbox. Adjust the metric field in your JSON payload to match an existing metric name.

Rate limiting

Dashello allows 100 requests per minute per API key. If your scenario runs at high frequency, add a delay module or use batch requests.
