Post: 13 Make.com Updates From September 2024 Every Automation Builder Should Know
September 2024 delivered one of Make.com’s densest release cycles in months: three new native apps, 25 verified partner integrations, 200-plus scenario templates, and a platform security upgrade. This guide breaks down every change worth acting on — and flags two connectors that need attention before you build.
If you build automations professionally or manage a growing workflow stack, the monthly Make.com release threads are required reading. September 2024 was unusually packed. Rather than bury the signal in community forum noise, this post pulls out the 13 updates with the highest impact on real-world builds — and connects each one to the automation patterns that matter most.

Why September 2024 Was a Dense Release Cycle
Make.com ships updates continuously, but not every month carries equal weight. September 2024 stood out for three reasons: a deprecated LinkedIn endpoint forced a timely native replacement, the verified partner library grew by 25 apps in a single drop, and the template gallery crossed a new threshold with 200-plus additions.
The practical effect for automation builders: several common workarounds — manual CSV exports for Skai, HTTP module gymnastics for Microsoft Advertising, polling the old LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms API — became unnecessary overnight. That is what a high-value release cycle looks like.

What Are the 3 New Native Apps?
Native apps are built and maintained directly by Make. They get the most reliable module support, the fastest bug fixes, and the deepest field mapping. September 2024 added three.
1. LinkedIn Lead Forms
LinkedIn deprecated its older Lead Gen Forms API endpoints, and this native module is the official replacement. If any of your scenarios were polling the old API or using workarounds to extract lead data, migration is not optional — the old approach breaks. The new module pulls pre-filled profile data directly, which means cleaner records landing in your CRM without manual field cleanup.
Immediate action: Audit any scenario that references LinkedIn lead data and rebuild it on the new module before the deprecated endpoint is fully shut down.
2. Microsoft Advertising Conversions
This module lets you push offline and online conversion events directly into Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) from any data source Make can reach: point-of-sale systems, phone call tracking platforms, in-store kiosk logs, or CRM close events. The practical result is that smart bidding algorithms get the full conversion picture instead of only tracking clicks that converted in-browser.
Immediate action: Spin up a sandbox scenario for any client running Bing Ads and test conversion push before putting it into production.
3. Skai
Skai (formerly Kenshoo) is the paid-media management platform used by large agencies and in-house teams running multi-channel ad programs. Before this module, syncing campaign data, budgets, or performance reports into a Make workflow required exporting CSVs and re-importing them — a fragile, manual step. The native connector eliminates that entirely.
Immediate action: Replace any CSV-based Skai data pipeline with the native module and set up automated budget or performance sync.
Which of the 25 New Verified Partner Apps Are Worth Your Attention?
Verified apps are built by the vendor or a qualified third party and reviewed by Make’s team. Quality varies more than with native apps, but many are production-ready on day one. Here are the 25 additions from September 2024, with the highest-priority ones called out:
4. gotoHuman — AI-to-Human Escalation
This is one of the most architecturally interesting additions in the entire list. gotoHuman lets you escalate an in-progress automated task to a human reviewer mid-workflow — without stopping the scenario or losing context. The pattern it enables: run an AI decision step, evaluate confidence, and route to a human only when the score falls below your threshold. For any workflow where 100% automation is too risky, this is the missing piece.
5. Dust — AI Assistants on Private Data
Dust lets teams build AI assistants trained on their own internal data — documents, knowledge bases, wikis. The Make connector means you can trigger a Dust assistant mid-scenario and pipe its output into downstream steps. Think: a support ticket arrives, Dust checks the internal knowledge base, and the answer routes back into the ticket system without a human lookup.
6. Print.one — Direct Mail API
Print.one treats physical postcards like transactional emails: trigger one from a scenario condition, pass in the recipient data, and the card ships. The automation pattern this unlocks is powerful — abandoned cart events, win-back sequences, or milestone triggers can send physical mail without any manual fulfillment step.
7. Tremendous — Global Payouts and Rewards
Tremendous handles global reward disbursement: gift cards, prepaid cards, ACH transfers, PayPal, and more. The Make connector means you can close a loop — survey completion, referral conversion, sales milestone — and fire a reward automatically. No manual payout queue.
8. SerpApi — Google SERP Data Pipelines
SerpApi returns structured Google search results via API, including rankings, featured snippets, and related searches. Connected to Make, this enables automated rank-tracking pipelines, competitor monitoring alerts, and content gap reports — without a dedicated SEO tool subscription for every client.
9. Kraken.io — Image Compression at Scale
For any workflow that handles image uploads — product catalogs, media libraries, onboarding documents — Kraken.io adds automated compression without a manual export step. Connect it inline between upload and storage.
10. PDF-app.net — PDF Creation and OCR
Generate PDFs from structured data or extract text from existing documents via OCR. The Make connector turns this into a mid-scenario step: receive a form submission, render a PDF, route it to storage or email in the same flow.
11. ScrapFly — Web Scraping and Screenshots
ScrapFly handles anti-bot protections and returns clean scraped data or screenshots. For competitive monitoring, price tracking, or content aggregation scenarios, this replaces custom scraping infrastructure with a managed API call.
12. The Remaining 17 Verified Apps
The full September 2024 verified app additions also included: B2cor CRM, Contractship AI Phone Calling, DataForms.io, Daxium Air, Gender API, InfraNodus AI Knowledge Graph, InOut Personal WhatsApp*, Jestor, Lumin, SalesWizard CRM, Schogini AI Wizard, Schogini Image Wizard, Social by Greenwood Apps, Unipiazza, YouLead, Zapster AI, and Zyllio.
*InOut Personal WhatsApp: Early community reports flagged connection failures. Keep a fallback connector (360dialog, Twilio, or Callbell) active until vendor stability is confirmed.
Note on Scoro: The Scoro module was vendor-maintained and was pulled from the Make library in May 2025. If you have existing scenarios referencing Scoro, plan a migration to the Scoro HTTP API or an alternative CRM connector. A temporary bridge using Scoro’s Zapier hooks plus a webhook relay has worked for some teams.
Which Scenario Templates From the 200+ Added Are Worth Bookmarking?
The template gallery is the fastest way to understand real-world field mapping before building from scratch. Even experienced builders use templates as orientation, not just starting points. These ten additions from September 2024 have the broadest applicability:
13. Top 10 Templates From the September 2024 Drop
- Add new RSS articles to Google Sheets — Content monitoring and aggregation baseline
- Auto-post new WordPress content to Facebook Pages — Social distribution without manual copy-paste
- Convert RSS items into WordPress posts — Curated content publishing pipeline
- Pipe HTTP payloads into Google Sheets — Universal webhook-to-spreadsheet receiver
- Turn webhook pings into Google Calendar events — Scheduling automation from any trigger source
- Push RSS articles to Telegram groups — Community content distribution
- Email Excel workbooks as attachments via Outlook — Scheduled reporting delivery
- Create Todoist tasks from Notion database items — Cross-tool task management sync
- Spin up Google Tasks for new Notion entries — Lightweight Notion-to-task automation
- Sync Airtable records into Notion databases — Bidirectional data layer sync
Builder tip: Clone a template before modifying it. The original stays available for reference, and the clone gives you a clean working copy that shows you exactly how the original developer mapped fields — which is the fastest education available for any new app pairing.
Expert Take
The September 2024 template expansion is useful, but the more important signal is the LinkedIn Lead Forms migration. Deprecated API endpoints don’t announce their shutdown date loudly — they quietly start dropping data or returning errors. The builders who audit their LinkedIn-connected scenarios now are the ones who won’t be debugging a broken lead pipeline on a Monday morning. Treat deprecation notices as hard deadlines, not suggestions.
What Platform Security Change Shipped in September 2024?
Make added double-verification for email address changes: both the old and new email addresses receive a verification request before the change is confirmed. For agency administrators who regularly hand accounts over to clients, this eliminates the risk of an account being transferred to an unverified address — a common source of access loss in multi-client environments.
No action is required. The change is automatic and applies to all accounts. It is worth knowing about when briefing clients on account handoff procedures.
What Automation Patterns Does This Release Unlock?
Individually, the September 2024 additions extend what’s possible in specific verticals. Combined, they enable several high-value automation patterns that weren’t cleanly achievable before:
Full-cycle lead routing: LinkedIn Lead Forms captures the lead → Gender API enriches the record → B2cor CRM stores it → Contractship AI Phone triggers a follow-up call. The entire sequence runs without human intervention.
Ad spend feedback loops: A point-of-sale event in Shopify triggers a conversion push to Microsoft Advertising Conversions, which feeds smart bidding algorithms with offline conversion data. ROAS optimization happens automatically.
AI co-pilots with human fallback: A Dust assistant handles the first-pass response → gotoHuman evaluates confidence → if confidence falls below threshold, the task routes to a human reviewer with full context intact.
Direct mail on autopilot: An abandoned-cart trigger fires → Print.one sends a physical postcard → Tremendous delivers a gift card incentive if the cart converts within 72 hours. Three platforms, zero manual steps.

Expert Take
The gotoHuman connector is the most underrated addition in this entire release. Most automation builders think in binary terms: either the process is automated or it isn’t. gotoHuman introduces a third state — conditionally automated, with a graceful human handoff built into the flow. That architecture is more honest about what AI can reliably do today, and it makes automations safer to deploy in high-stakes workflows where a wrong answer has real consequences.
What Should You Do Right Now Based on These Updates?
Four actions are worth completing before the next release cycle:
- Audit for deprecated connectors. Search your active scenarios for any reference to LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms (old endpoint) or Scoro. Both need migration — LinkedIn because the endpoint is deprecated, Scoro because the module was pulled from the library in May 2025.
- Test Microsoft Advertising Conversions in a sandbox. If you manage any client running Bing Ads, the offline conversion push is a direct upgrade to their smart bidding quality. Build the test scenario before proposing it.
- Browse the template gallery with Q4 planning in mind. Two hundred new templates is not noise — it’s 200 documented field-mapping examples for real-world app pairings. At minimum, search the gallery for every app pairing on your roadmap.
- Subscribe to Make’s monthly releases tag. The community thread at community.make.com/tag/monthly-releases is the primary source. Don’t wait for recaps.
If you’re evaluating whether your current automation stack is structured to take advantage of updates like these, the OpsMap™ audit process is the right starting point — it surfaces which workflows are fragile, which are missing connectors, and which are ready to expand. For teams building more complex scenarios, building Make scenarios with Claude has changed how fast reliable workflows get from concept to production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything if I’m not using LinkedIn Lead Ads?
No. The migration requirement applies only to scenarios that connect to LinkedIn’s Lead Gen Forms or Lead Ads endpoints. If your LinkedIn-connected scenarios handle organic posts, company pages, or profile data, they are unaffected.
Is the Scoro module gone permanently?
Yes. The Scoro module was vendor-maintained and was pulled in May 2025. Existing scenarios that reference Scoro will fail. The replacement options are the Scoro HTTP API (using Make’s HTTP module with your Scoro API key) or migrating to an alternative CRM with a supported Make connector.
Are verified partner apps as reliable as native Make apps?
Not always. Native apps are built and maintained by Make directly. Verified apps pass a review process, but the vendor is responsible for maintenance. Connection stability depends on the vendor’s API reliability and how actively they maintain the connector. For production workflows, test verified apps in a sandbox before deploying, and build error handling into any scenario that depends on them.
How do I find the new templates in the Make gallery?
Go to make.com, navigate to Templates, and filter by date added or search by app name. For the September 2024 additions specifically, searching by the app pairs listed in this post (RSS + Google Sheets, Airtable + Notion, etc.) returns the relevant templates directly.
What is the best use case for gotoHuman in a Make scenario?
The strongest use case is any AI decision step where the cost of a wrong answer is high — contract review, compliance flagging, high-value customer support responses. Build the automated path, add a confidence evaluation step, and route to gotoHuman when confidence falls below your acceptable threshold. The human reviewer gets full context and the workflow resumes after their input.
