Make Academy
Learn Make at your own pace.
Step-by-step guides on scenarios, modules, AI agents, custom apps, and everything you need to build automations on Make. Free, searchable, and always available.
Foundation
Make Foundation: Scenarios
How to build, configure, and connect your first Make scenarios — including modules, mapping, and the scenario UI.
Make Foundation: Routing and Filters
Direct your data with routers and filters, and control when scenarios run with scheduling.
Make Foundation: Operations and Credits
Understand what operations are, how Make's credit system works, and how to use credits efficiently.
Make Foundation: Organization
Manage your Make organization — users, teams, roles, dashboards, and templates.
Basics
Make Basics: Modules
What apps and modules are, and how Make's five module categories — search, action, trigger, universal, and built-in — work.
Make Basics: Data
How data flows between modules in a scenario, how to map data, what collections are, and how data structures work.
Make Basics: Functions
How to transform data with Make's built-in functions for text, dates, numbers, and aggregations.
Make Basics: Aggregators
Combine multiple records into one. Numeric and text aggregators explained, with real scenarios.
Intermediate
Make Intermediate: JSON and Arrays
Work with JSON data: import, iterate, and aggregate arrays in your scenarios.
Make Intermediate: get() and map()
Two of the most useful Make functions — when to use get(), when to use map(), and how to combine them.
Make Intermediate: HTTP
Call any API from Make using HTTP modules — GET, POST, and triggering webhooks.
Make Intermediate: Webhooks
Receive data into Make in real time — what webhooks are, how to exchange data through them, and how to manage scenario queues.
Make Intermediate: Errors
Handle errors gracefully in Make — what they are, why they happen, and how to use error handlers.
Make Intermediate: Advanced Functions
Power-user functions for date and time, conditionals, and string/array conversion.
Custom apps
Automation to AI Agents: Foundation
Intro to AI
Get oriented in artificial intelligence. What is AI, what is generative AI, and where does it fit alongside traditional automation?
Large Language Models
Understand what LLMs are, how to interact with them effectively, and where they fall short.
AI Agents Foundations
What an AI agent is, how it works internally, and what makes agentic automation different from rule-based workflows.
AI Automation in Make
Combine AI with Make. Learn which AI tools are available, how to use Make's built-in AI apps, and how to build scenarios that use AI end-to-end.
Automation to AI Agents: Advanced
Building AI Agents with Make
Use Make's AI Agent module to design, configure, and run AI agents that can reason, call tools, and take action.
Context Engineering
Give your AI agent the right information, instructions, and memory so it produces predictable, useful results.
Agent Engineering
Plan, build, and ship AI agents systematically — from goal definition to working production agents.
Optimizing AI Agents
Make your AI agents faster, cheaper, more reliable, and safer. Cover tool design, model choice, calibration, and security.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Learn what MCP is, how to connect AI agents to external tools and data sources, and how Make supports MCP clients and servers.
