How to set up webhooks on Make

Log in to your Make.com account and navigate to your dashboard. Click to create a new scenario or open an existing one where you want to add webhook functionality. This scenario will serve as the automation workflow triggered by incoming webhook data.

In the scenario editor, click the plus icon to add a new module. Search for Webhooks in the available apps and select it. This opens the webhook configuration options for your scenario.

From the webhook options, choose Custom Webhook. This module type generates a unique HTTPS URL that external services can send data to. Make.com also offers Custom Mailhook for email-based automation, but Custom Webhook provides greater flexibility for most integration needs.

In the module configuration, click Add to create a new webhook. Enter a meaningful name (for example, PayFunnels or Stripe Events) so you can recognize it later. Click Save to confirm. Make.com automatically generates a unique webhook URL.

After creation, Make.com displays your unique webhook URL. Copy this entire URL to your clipboard. It will look something like https://hook.eu1.make.com/abc123xyz. You will paste this URL into your source application's webhook settings to establish the connection.

Log in to your source application (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, etc.) and navigate to its webhook or integration settings. Paste the Make.com webhook URL into the designated webhook endpoint field. Select which events should trigger the webhook (for example, 'payment.completed' in Stripe or 'push' events in GitHub). Save these settings in the source app.

Return to Make.com and ensure your scenario is in edit mode. Trigger an event in your source application that should send data to the webhook (for example, submit a form, complete a payment, or push code). Watch the Make.com webhook module for incoming data. Click Re-determine data structure or Load samples to capture and display the payload structure.

Once data is received, Make.com parses the payload and displays available fields in the mapping panel. Add subsequent modules to your scenario (email, database, CRM, etc.) and map the webhook data fields to the inputs these modules require. For example, map the email field from the webhook to an email module's recipient field.

For enhanced security, you can attach API keys to your webhook. In the webhook module configuration, click Add API Key and enter a name for the keychain. When making requests to your webhook, the source app must include this API key in the X-Make-ApiKey header. This prevents unauthorized access to your webhook endpoint.

After mapping all data and configuring subsequent modules, save your scenario. Toggle the scenario to ON using the switch in the top-right corner. Your webhook is now active and will trigger the workflow each time the source app sends data. Monitor the scenario's execution history to verify that data is flowing correctly and actions are executing as expected.
