Make.com (formerly Integromat) is a visual workflow automation platform — more powerful and flexible than Zapier, with better handling of complex data transformations and branching logic, at lower cost. It's become a go-to for marketing automation teams who've outgrown Zapier but don't want to self-host n8n. Make.com excels at multi-step workflows connecting CRM, email, ads, and data tools with visual logic building.
For example, a Make.com workflow might: watch a Typeform for new demo requests → enrich the lead with Clearbit → route to the right SDR in HubSpot based on company size → send a Slack notification → add to an Apollo sequence — all triggered in under 60 seconds.
Make.com is our recommended automation layer for clients who want power without the technical overhead of n8n — we've built 40+ Make.com workflows for client GTM stacks.
