5 Make Features Most People Miss

Make visual scenario builder gets the attention, but data stores, error routes, custom functions, HTTP modules, and templates marketplace are what make it a power user tool.

1. Data Stores — Persistent Storage (Core — $10.59/mo)

Built-in key-value database for storing data between scenario runs. Track processed records, maintain lookup tables, or build simple inventories without a separate database.

Why This Matters: Persistent data between automations without Airtable or Google Sheets.

2. Error Handling Routes (Core — $10.59/mo)

Add dedicated error routes to any module. When a step fails, route to a fallback action instead of failing the entire scenario. Zapier has no equivalent feature.

Why This Matters: Reliable automations that handle failures gracefully instead of breaking silently.

3. Custom Functions (Pro — $18.82/mo)

Write custom JavaScript functions within scenarios. Transform data, parse complex formats, or calculate values mid-workflow. Available on Pro tier.

Why This Matters: Custom code without n8n complexity. Best of both worlds.

4. HTTP/Webhook Modules (Core — $10.59/mo)

Make any API call to any service, even without a dedicated module. HTTP modules let you connect to tools that do not have official Make integrations.

Why This Matters: Connect to any API, not just the 1,800+ built-in integrations.

5. Templates Marketplace (Free — $0)

Pre-built scenario templates for common workflows. Import and customize instead of building from scratch. Available on all tiers including free.

Why This Matters: Faster setup for common automations. Skip the learning curve for standard workflows.
