Hey all. I am new to make and I am really just trying to figure out if the platform is right for me. I am not a programmer and I may sound ignorant asking these questions.
Can Make.com help me build a 100% automation between a payment gateway (powered by NMI) and the workflow management software Printavo? If so, how do I go about doing that? I am an amateur at this and would really appreciate any help.
Welcome to the Make Community!
Yes, you can make your own integration with any external service that has an API. That’s called a custom app.
For more information on how to build your own custom app, see
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Sam’s suggestion is perfectly valid, but might be a little technical for a newbie Make user. Custom apps are ideal if you expect to need to connect those services in multiple Make scenarios, especially if those scenarios need to be built by other, less technical users.
If you only have a few potential uses of those services and it will be mostly you building the scenarios, you might be best using the Make HTTP app.
This allows you to connect to any REST API service (like the NMI Gateway API). NMI uses API Keys for authentication, so you’d use the Make an API Key Auth request module in the HTTP app.
Make has a Printavo app already, so that part is relatively easy!
