Title: Make’s November 2024 Release Round-Up – 30+ New Integrations, AI Everywhere, and Security Upgrades You’ll Actually Use
Intro
The Make community has just dropped its November 2024 “mega-bundle” of updates (community post → link). As an independent automation agency that lives and breathes Make, we combed through every line of the release thread so you don’t have to. Below is our take on what’s new, why it matters, and where you can start experimenting today.
————————————————————
- Four Brand-New “Core” Apps Built by Make
————————————————————
These integrations are authored by the Make team themselves and ship with the familiar purple-circle icon:
• GoCardless – Direct bank-to-bank payments for subscription or invoice automations.
– Use case: Auto-collect failed payments, then trigger a Slack alert and a customer-friendly reminder email.
– Docs: make.com/en/integrations/gocardless
• Lusha – Verified B2B contact data on-tap.
– Use case: Enrich new HubSpot leads, score them in real time, and push high-value prospects straight to your SDR’s queue.
• Snapchat Conversions – First-party conversion uploads.
– Use case: Feed offline or web events to Snapchat Ads in minutes, no clunky CSVs required.
• xAI – Elon’s language model joins the party.
– Use case: Swap out, A/B test, or cascade prompts between OpenAI, Gemini, and now xAI for cost or quality wins.

2. 28 (!) Newly Verified Partner Integrations
—————————————————————————
Make’s “verified” badge means the connector is maintained by the app vendor or a certified partner. We’ve grouped them so you can spot quick wins:
AI & LLM Stack
• Google Gemini AI, OpenRouter, StealthGPT, Relevance, Runware.AI, GPT Maker, SystemPrompt.io, Twin Web Agent, YourGPT Chatbot
Why you care: Cheaper model routing, on-prem speed (Runware), undetectable AI writing, and multi-agent orchestration—all inside your existing Make scenarios.
Voice & Conversational AI
• Bland, Bolna, Kollie
AI-powered phone calls and voice agents that can now be triggered just like any webhook.
Video & Media Creation
• HeyGen, SEEN, Bookoly, PDF Snake
Automate avatar videos, personalized explainer clips, or booklet-ready PDFs directly from your CRM events.
Data Extraction & Docs
• DocuPanda, Click and Sign
Extract JSON from messy PDFs or push legally binding e-signatures without ever leaving your flow.
Sales & Outreach
• Discko, AI Chatbot Hub, BetterMode
Level up prospecting campaigns or embed community engagement touchpoints.
Logistics & Ops
• Qapla’ (shipping labels/tracking), Société.com (company data), Wappi (WhatsApp & Telegram APIs).
Niche but Notable
• Origami (no-code DB/web app builder), Open-source video editing with PDF Snake, and ZeptoMail for transactional email.

3. Platform Enhancements & Quality-of-Life Wins
———————————————————————
Security, governance, and dev-experience got serious love this month:
• 2-Factor Auth Upgrade – Users can now scan a QR code OR paste the secret key manually.
• Editable Connections – Finally rotate API keys or swap sandbox vs. production creds without rebuilding scenarios.
• SSO Secrets Masked – Client secrets are now hidden just like passwords.
• Session Management – Org owners can set idle time-outs from 15 min to 24 h (guide).
• Subscenarios for All Plans – Break monster scenarios into reusable “functions.” Pro+ tiers get a Relation Tree visualizer.
• Team Admin Role – Team admins can now view org-wide users and invite teammates without escalating to an org owner.
Why it matters: These updates remove the two biggest enterprise objections we still heard in Q3—key rotation rigidity and limited RBAC. That’s a green light for larger roll-outs.

4. What This Means for Automation Teams
————————————————
- AI as default: 50 % of the new connectors are AI/LLM related. Expect conversation design, prompt chaining, and AI agent governance to become core skills for Make builders in 2025.
- Security & compliance: Editable keys + SSO masking + granular session-timeout are must-haves for ISO/SOC-driven clients.
- Modular architectures: Subscenarios close the maintainability gap between small business hacks and enterprise-grade pipelines.
————————————————
5. Quick-Start Ideas
————————————————
• Finance Ops: Combine GoCardless + Subscenarios to build a reusable “retry/notify/cancel” payment micro-flow you can drop into any project.
• AI Content Factory: Chain OpenRouter → StealthGPT → PDF Snake to generate, “humanize,” and typeset PDF ebooks in one run.
• Post-Purchase Experience: Use Qapla’ for labels, then trigger SEEN to send a personalized thank-you video when the item ships.

Wrap-Up
————————————————
November’s drop proves Make is doubling down on three pillars—AI, security, and developer ergonomics. If you haven’t audited your scenarios lately, now’s the time to:
- Replace custom HTTP calls with ready-made connectors (less maintenance).
- Split monolith scenarios into subscenarios (faster troubleshooting).
- Turn on 2FA and session policies before the auditors knock.
