Make Automation Agency

Make is extremely powerful. That’s what makes it tricky.

Make's flexibility is real: branching, loops, complex workflows. But flexibility without experience builds things that quietly break. Ours are still humming six months after handover.

More power. Built wrong? Breaks harder.

Make rewards people who know what they're doing and punishes people who don't…quietly. The canvas lets you build almost anything. It also lets you skip error handling, misplace a filter, or build something that works fine until volume picks up.

There are no warnings. It just runs. By the time you notice something stopped working, the problem is baked in. That's usually when we get the call.

Here’s what working with us looks like

No jargon. You don’t even need to know what an iterator is.

Audit

We learn your processes and map what needs to change

One call. We look at what you’re using now, what’s automated, and what your team is still doing by hand. Moving from another tool? We map each workflow first. No homework for you.

Usually one 30 minute call.

  3 different tools (6 hrs/wk)
3 days to onboard a new client

Build

We build scenarios that hold up under real conditions

Every scenario gets proper filters, error handling, and a structure you can actually follow six months later. We also build to save your Make credits, so you’re not paying for steps that don’t need to run.

Average build time: 5 to 10 business days for a complete automation stack.

Launch

Your team stops doing the manual work

We test against real data before anything goes live. We monitor every run for the first 30 days and fix any failures before you notice. Everything gets documented and walked through so your team knows what each scenario does.

Includes 30 days post launch monitoring and full documentation handover.

Fifteen hours a week. That’s what we were losing to copying data between our CRM and our accounting software. Koray built an automation, and it dropped to zero.

Sarah Mitchell Director, Mitchel and Co

Two hours a day, every day, moving data between our practice management system and Xero. Koray fixed it in a week.

James Whitfield Operations Manager , Meridian Legal

It just runs. I keep waiting for it to break, and it doesn’t.

Sarah Nguyen Director, Bayside Financial Planning

I was sceptical. Construction isn’t exactly a software industry but we were losing quotes because we weren’t following up fast enough

Tom Hargreaves Founder, Structura Constructions

Koray set the whole thing up, walked us through it, and then it just worked.

Priya Kapoor Practice Manager, Greenwood Medical Centre

Every enquiry gets a response in minutes and lands in the right pipeline automatically.

Daniel Costa Sales Manager, Atlas Property Group

Tax season used to mean late nights moving client data between systems. This year, we didn’t do any of that.

Rachel Kim Office Manager, McKenzie & Partners Accounting
Over 200 automations built

Three ways to get this done. One that actually sticks.

DIY works fine for simple scenarios. It gets complicated when the logic does. Offshore freelancers build fast, but they’re not around when something fails on a Wednesday night, and your CRM has stopped updating.

Honest advice if Make isn't the right fit

Make is roughly 60% cheaper than Zapier for equivalent workloads. But only if your scenarios are built to handle what actually happens in production.

FAQs

Common questions about Make automation. Plain answers.

Book your free audit
How much does Make itself cost?

Make’s free plan covers 1,000 operations a month. Paid plans start around $9 a month for 10,000 operations. The catch is how operations are counted. Every module that runs in a scenario counts as one operation, including filters, routers, and logic steps, not just the actions that touch your apps. A scenario that looks simple can burn operations fast if it is not built efficiently. We size you to the right plan and cut the waste.

What is an operation and why does my usage keep climbing?

An operation is counted every time a module executes inside a scenario. That includes every filter check, every router branch, every loop iteration, not just the useful end actions. A scenario processing 100 records with 8 modules each is 800 operations. If your scenarios are not structured to avoid unnecessary execution, the count adds up fast. We build with that in mind from day one.

I am on Zapier now. Should I move to Make?

Sometimes yes. If the task pricing has got unsustainable, or you need branching logic that Zapier cannot handle cleanly, Make is a strong move. If your Zapier setup is simple and working, rebuilding it in Make to save a few dollars a month usually is not worth the effort. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.

I already have Make scenarios set up. Can you work with what I have?

Yes. We review everything first. What is working, what is fragile, and what is costing more operations than it should. Some scenarios we improve in place. Others have structural problems that are cleaner to rebuild than patch. We do not tear things down unnecessarily, but we will not bandage something that is going to fail under load.

What happens when a scenario breaks?

For the first 30 days after launch, we monitor every run. If a scenario fails, we fix it before it becomes your problem. After that, ongoing maintenance is available if you want it. Either way, everything is documented so your team is not in the dark.

Do we need technical staff to manage this?

Not once it is built. Make is more technical than Zapier to set up, but you do not need anyone technical on your team if we are building and maintaining the scenarios. You need to know how your business runs. We handle the rest.

How long does a Make build take?

Simple scenarios can be live in a few days. A full automation stack typically takes one to two weeks. If you are migrating from Zapier, add time for the mapping phase. We give you a realistic timeline before we start, not an optimistic one.
