API Integrations with Make: Advanced Automation

• Experience using Make for workflow automation
• Understanding of APIs and webhooks
• Basic knowledge of JSON and HTTP requests

Audience

• Developers
• System integrators
• Technical operations teams

Make is a powerful automation platform that allows users to build workflows connecting different applications. By leveraging APIs, users can extend Make’s capabilities to integrate with custom-built systems and applications that are not natively supported.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at advanced-level developers, system integrators, and technical operations teams who wish to enhance their automation processes by integrating external APIs with Make.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand Make’s API and how to extend its functionality.
• Work with APIs to integrate third-party applications.
• Create custom connectors for unsupported applications.
• Use advanced automation techniques with Make and APIs.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
