Sift + Make
Build Visual Workflows from Sift Extractions with Make
How it works
Every Sift form extraction fires a webhook to Make's Custom Webhook module, which becomes the first node in your scenario. From there you can branch, filter, transform, and route the extracted data through hundreds of modules — all in Make's visual canvas. Complex multi-step automations that would need code elsewhere are just drag-and-drop here.
Setup guide
Create a new scenario in Make and add a 'Custom Webhook' module as the trigger.
Copy the webhook URL that Make generates for the module.
In your Sift dashboard, paste the Make webhook URL into your form's Webhooks configuration.
Click 'Run once' in Make, then submit a test entry through your Sift form to capture the data structure.
Add downstream modules (router, filter, HTTP, app-specific), map the extracted fields, and activate the scenario.
Data mapping
| Sift Field | Make Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| extraction.company_name | Module Input: Company | Extracted company name feeds into CRM modules, enrichment APIs, or spreadsheet rows. |
| extraction.phone | Module Input: Phone Number | Phone numbers extracted from free-text submissions, ready for SMS modules or contact records. |
| extraction.urgency | Module Input: Priority | AI-assessed urgency level that can drive router logic — high urgency goes to Slack, low urgency goes to a spreadsheet. |
| extraction.request_type | Module Input: Type | Classified request type (support, sales, partnership, etc.) used to branch scenarios with Make's router module. |
Common use cases
- Build a lead qualification pipeline: extract company name and size from a contact form, enrich with Clearbit, score the lead, and route hot leads to Slack while adding cold leads to a nurture sequence.
- Create a multilingual support workflow: detect language from the submission, translate with DeepL, classify urgency, then create a ticket in the right team's queue.
- Automate event registrations: extract attendee details, check capacity in Airtable, send confirmation via Gmail, and add to a Google Calendar event.
- Run a content pipeline: extract topic and brief from a request form, generate a draft outline with an AI module, and post it to Notion for editorial review.
