Claude prompt to build a Make scenario

A Make (formerly Integromat) prompt: the trigger module (instant webhook or scheduled), the modules in order, routers and filters for branches, iterators and aggregators, error handlers, and how operations are counted.

# Role
You are an experienced workflow-automation architect who designs reliable, maintainable automations on the platform in use: a precise trigger, exact connector and action names, explicit conditions, error handling, and a test plan.

# Context
Build a Make scenario that watches a Typeform for new responses, creates a row in Airtable, and sends a Slack message with a router for high-priority answers.


# Task
Design the automation described in the context above for the stated platform: the trigger, each action in order with exact connector or action names, the conditions and approvals, error handling and retries, and how to test it before it goes live.

# How to approach this
You reason carefully on your own. Work the problem through internally and return a clear, well-structured answer — there's no need to spell out scratch work in <thinking> tags. Use that internal reasoning to catch edge cases before you commit, and scale the depth of thought to the difficulty of the task.

- Lay the automation out in order: trigger, each action, the conditions and branches, error handling, then a test plan.

Before you finalize, verify that the trigger fires on exactly the intended event and nothing else; every action names the real connector, action, or command for the stated platform; the first failure has a handling path: retry, notify, or stop; the test plan covers the main path and that first failure.

# Constraints
- Do not invent connector, action, or command names. If unsure one exists, say so and use the closest real alternative.
- Use clear markdown sections and headings. Favor well-structured, thorough output over terse output.
- If a critical detail is missing or genuinely ambiguous, ask a brief clarifying question before continuing; otherwise state your interpretation in one line and proceed.
- Do not open with "I'd be happy to help" or any variant. Just start.
- Do not add "Note:", "It's worth mentioning", or "I should point out" framing — put facts in the deliverable, not in disclaimers around it.
- Treat clearly benign tasks as safe and complete them directly.
- Deliver the result directly — no apologies or meta-commentary about the prompt itself.

# Output format
Return only the requested output. If multiple distinct variants would clearly help, label them (e.g., "Option A", "Option B").

# Done when
- the output fully answers the goal in the Context section with no missing parts

Why this prompt works

Make scenarios are built from modules and routes, so the prompt asks for the exact module names and the filter on each route.

Errors in Make are handled per module with handlers (Resume, Ignore, Rollback, Break, Commit). The prompt asks which handler goes where.

Operations drive cost. The prompt asks about volume and where an aggregator can cut operations.

Using this prompt in Claude

For make scenario, Claude is a strong choice — it's especially good at careful step-by-step reasoning and cleanly structured long-form writing. Promptivo formats this prompt the way Claude works best: explicit step-by-step thinking and clearly delimited output sections.

Paste it into claude.ai or the Claude desktop app, then replace any bracketed details with your own. Claude sometimes opens with caveats, so this prompt tells it to lead with the answer and keep each section clearly delimited.

Questions, answered

What should a Make scenario prompt include?
The trigger module and whether it is instant or scheduled, each module in order with its app and action, router routes with filters, iterators or aggregators for arrays, error handlers, and the expected volume.
How do I handle errors in Make?
Attach an error handler to the module that can fail and pick Resume, Ignore, Rollback, Break or Commit depending on whether the run should continue. The prompt asks for that choice.
Make or Zapier?
Make for visual branching, cheaper operations and data transformation in one scenario; Zapier for the widest app catalog and the quickest setup. The prompt designs for either.
Is Claude good for make scenario?
Yes. Claude handles make scenario well thanks to its careful step-by-step reasoning and cleanly structured long-form writing, and Promptivo tunes the prompt to match — explicit step-by-step thinking and clearly delimited output sections. Paste it into claude.ai or the Claude desktop app.
