Creating Custom Scenarios with Make API: A Comprehensive Guide

Have you ever wondered if there's an API to create a custom scenario using Make API? For instance, in templates, there's a scenario 'Add new incoming emails to a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a new row' for Gmail and Google Sheets, which can be created using a no-code UI. But can you create it using Make API?

Well, the answer is yes, you can! To create the scenarios via the Make API, you need to pass the blueprint of the scenario to the scenarios endpoint. You can see how the blueprint looks for any of your existing scenarios by clicking the 'Export Blueprint' button on the scenario.

But what if your scenario contains two apps like Slack and Gmail? Can you create a connection via API including authentication? Or do you need to manually create the required connection first then call scenario POST API?

You can use the 'create scenario' POST API request. It's important to know that the blueprint should be sent as a string, not as an object. However, the blueprint itself is not documented, so feel free to visit our Idea exchange page where you can submit your request. By doing so, others can upvote your suggestion and you can follow its progress.

In conclusion, creating custom scenarios using Make API is possible and can be done by passing the blueprint of the scenario to the scenarios endpoint. Remember, the blueprint should be sent as a string, not as an object. If you need more information about the blueprint, don't hesitate to visit our Idea exchange page and submit your request.
