Connect Make to Atlas Labs
To connect Make to Atlas Labs, create a Custom webhook module to receive events and an HTTP Make a request module to call the API with an Authorization: Bearer header stored in a Credentials keychain. Make assigns the webhook URL on a hook.<region>.make.com host, which Atlas Labs accepts as a shared automation destination.
| At a glance | Value |
|---|---|
| Receive events | Webhooks → Custom webhook; Advanced settings Get request headers = Yes |
| Call the API | HTTP → Make a request |
| Where the key goes | Authentication type API key → Credentials → Create a keychain: Key Bearer lab_off_YOUR_KEY, API key placement Header, API key parameter name Authorization. Make recommends the keychain over the Headers field. |
| Body | Body type Raw, Content type JSON (application/json), Request content = your JSON |
Idempotency-Key | A Headers item whose value is the webhook-id header from the Custom webhook (Get request headers = Yes; it equals the event id), or the body's id once the body is parsed |
| Webhook host | hook.<region>.make.com is a recognised platform host with a higher delivery allowance |
| Retries | None on the HTTP module; Scenario settings → Store incomplete executions plus the Retry error handler |
| OpenAPI import | None for HTTP calls; use the HTTP module |
lab_off_YOUR_KEY and lab_fac_YOUR_KEY. After you start a sandbox, the “Connect it” panel's Make tab shows the keychain values with your real keys and a copy button. to hook.<region>.make.com

How do I receive Atlas Labs events in Make?
- Add module → Webhooks → Custom webhook → Add, name it and Save. Make generates the URL and starts listening.
- Open Advanced settings. Set Get request headers to Yes so
webhook-id,webhook-timestampandwebhook-signatureare mappable. Set JSON pass-through to Yes if you plan to verify the signature: the body then reaches later modules as one text string, not as fields, so parse it first (Make's JSON parsing tools; we did not confirm the module name in a live account) before mappingidordata.sales_order_id. Leave pass-through off to get parsed fields straight away and skip the signature check. Whether the pass-through string is byte-exact is not stated in Make's docs, so test it once. - Subscribe the URL with either key. Make answers
200“Accepted” at once, inside the5-second window Atlas Labs allows.- Method
POST- URL
https://automationatlas.io/labs/api/v1/webhooks- Headers
Authorization: Bearer lab_off_YOUR_KEYContent-Type: application/json- Body
{"url": "https://hook.<region>.make.com/…", "events": ["office.sales_order.accepted"]}
- Send the test ping (
POST /webhooks/{id}/test) and, if Make asks, click Re-determine data structure. Activate the scenario (scheduling ON; a webhook scenario runs instantly). - Signature. Make has no Standard Webhooks module. For a fictional sandbox you may accept unverified deliveries; otherwise compute the HMAC yourself (we have not confirmed which Make module or function can produce an HMAC-SHA256) or pass the raw string and headers to an external verifier (the algorithm is on the Webhooks page).
How do I call the Atlas Labs API from Make?
- Add module → HTTP → Make a request. Set URL and Method, for example
GET https://automationatlas.io/labs/api/v1/office/sales-orders/<id>to read the accepted order'squantityanddue_sim_day. - Authentication type: API key → Credentials → Create a keychain. Name it “Atlas Labs Head Office”; Key
Bearer lab_off_YOUR_KEY(type the word Bearer yourself); API key placement Header; API key parameter nameAuthorization. Make a second keychain, “Atlas Labs Factory”, forlab_fac_YOUR_KEY.- Authentication type
- API key
- Keychain name
- Atlas Labs Factory
- Key
Bearer lab_fac_YOUR_KEY- API key placement
- Header
- Parameter name
Authorization
- For a write, set Body type Raw, Content type JSON (application/json) and paste the JSON into Request content. Add a Headers item
Idempotency-Keymapped to thewebhook-idheader from the Custom webhook, or to the parsed body'sid; both are the event id.- Method
POST- URL
https://automationatlas.io/labs/api/v1/factory/work-orders- Headers
Idempotency-Key= thewebhook-idheader- Request content
{"sales_order_id": "<sales_order_id from the parsed body>", "quantity": <from the order>, "due_date": <due_sim_day from the order>}
Preset matters. Pick a preset with a manual bridge (Standard or Full) or this write returns
409 already_bridged, because Starter bridges automatically. - Turn on “Return error if HTTP request fails” so
4xxand5xxstop the scenario and reach your error handlers. - Add a Router after the request: one route for
201or409witherror.code=already_bridged(success), a fallback route for everything else.
Idempotency and retries
- The HTTP module has no retry setting. In Scenario settings turn on Store incomplete executions, then attach the Retry error handler (earlier called Break) with your attempts and interval; Make's example is “try
3more times, every15minutes”. - Make reruns
ConnectionErrorandRateLimitErrorautomatically once incomplete executions are on; an instant scenario reruns the incomplete execution with exponential backoff. For a429from Atlas Labs the wait inRetry-Afteris usually one or two seconds. - Calls made in parallel share one key's budget, for example when scenario runs overlap, so keep calls to Atlas Labs to one or two at a time: more at once only collect more
429s, and enough of them put the key into a short cooldown. - Because the
Idempotency-Keyis the event id (thewebhook-idheader), a rerun returns the original response (Idempotency-Replayed: true) rather than a second work order.
Common errors
| You see | Why, and the fix |
|---|---|
401 unauthorized | The keychain Key is the bare key. It must read Bearer lab_off_…, prefix included. |
403 wrong_system | The wrong keychain on the module. /factory/* wants the Factory keychain, /office/* the Head Office one. |
415 unsupported_media_type | Body type was not Raw with Content type JSON (application/json). |
422 webhook_url_rejected | Paste the whole Make URL including https://; details.reason names the failing rule. |
Make returns 400 “Queue is full” | Make's own webhook queue; Atlas Labs retries after 10 s, 60 s and 300 s. |
Make returns 410 Gone | A webhook left unattached to a scenario for more than 5 days is deactivated by Make. Atlas Labs disables the subscription after 5 consecutive failures; create a new one. |
Gotchas
- Keychain, not Headers. Make's own guidance is to define authentication in the Credentials field rather than the Headers field, for security and key rotation. Earlier Atlas Labs docs said “set the header”; this page is the correction.
- Pass-through hides fields. With JSON pass-through on, nothing in the body is mappable until you parse the string; with it off, Make parses for you but the exact bytes for the signature are gone.
- Plan gating is not stated on Make's HTTP or Custom webhook pages (a third-party post claims all plans; unverified).
- Webhook rate. Make accepts up to
300requests per10 sper webhook before answering429; Atlas Labs sends at most60deliveries per minute per sandbox, so this is not a practical limit. - Blueprints carry no secrets. The downloadable blueprint uses placeholder references; store the keys as scenario variables or in keychains after import, and create the webhook yourself because Make assigns the URL.
- Module versions shift. Treat the blueprint's module
versionnumbers and mapper names as a starting point to check in the editor.

- Which Make modules do I use?
- Webhooks → Custom webhook to receive, HTTP → Make a request to call. Nothing else is needed; a Router sorts the responses.
- Which Make webhook hosts does Atlas Labs accept?
- Any public HTTPS URL on port
443, andhook.<region>.make.comis on the list of shared platform hosts with a higher delivery allowance. - How do I treat a duplicate delivery?
- As success. Deliveries are at-least-once; with the event
idasIdempotency-Keya second delivery gets the original response, and a bridge that already happened returns409 already_bridged. - Does Make verify the Standard Webhooks signature?
- Not out of the box. Turn on Get request headers and JSON pass-through, then compute the HMAC yourself or skip verification for this fictional sandbox.
- Why do I get
401although the key is in the keychain? - The Key field must contain
Bearerfollowed by the key; Make sends the Key value verbatim as the header value. - Can Make import the Atlas Labs OpenAPI file?
- No official import exists for HTTP calls; a Make community thread confirms it. The HTTP module takes under a minute to fill in.
