Make, formerly Integromat: one product, two names to search
By Christophe Paka · Facts checked on 23 October 2026
You search a Make error and land on a forum thread that never says Make. Every reply says Integromat. Is the answer out of date, or is it the same tool?
Skip those threads and you lose some of the oldest answers on the web. Make formerly Integromat is one product: the name changed, the engine stayed the same. The timeline below puts four milestones on one line, so an old name never stops your search.
How to read this figure
Start at the left: the launch. Integromat launched in 2012 as a Czech company with no outside funding. The figure calls that bootstrapped: the company grew on its own money, with no investors.
Next: Celonis buys Integromat. In October 2020, Celonis bought Integromat for over $100 million. Celonis is a company that studies how work flows through a business. Make is still a Celonis business unit. The sale changed the owner, not the way the tool works.
Then: the new name. In February 2022, Integromat became Make. The figure says it in four words: same engine, new name. So an old thread that explains how a module or a setting works still applies. Only a screen label may have changed, so check that one in Make's help center.
End on the right: AI agents. In February 2026, Make AI Agents opened as a beta on all plans. A beta is a test release. An agent decides its own steps on each run, like a taxi that picks its route, while a plain scenario runs on fixed rails. It is not Maia: Maia helps you build, an agent works while a scenario runs. Old Integromat threads predate agents, so search for agent help under Make.com.
Key takeaways
- Search both names, Make.com and Integromat, when you look for help with an error.
- Use old Integromat threads for how things work, and check any screen label in Make's help center.
- Type Make.com, not Make, in a search, because other products share the name.
Try this: one error, two searches
Next time a scenario fails, run one search under each name and compare what you find.
- Copy the exact error text from the failed module, such as Missing value of required parameter.
- Search it with Make.com in the query.
- Search it again with Integromat in the query.
- Open threads from both searches. Where an answer names a setting, find that setting in your own scenario.
Expected result: You get the newer threads and the older ones. The older ones often still hold the right answer, because the engine under the new name is the same.
Questions readers ask
Is Make the same as Integromat?
Yes. Integromat was Make's old name, and the engine stayed the same. Veterans still say Integromat, and the main subreddit is still r/Integromat. If you are new, start with what Make does: it connects your apps and does the same job every time.
Who owns Make?
Celonis, a company that studies how work flows through a business. It bought Integromat for over $100 million. Make is still a Celonis business unit, under its own name.
Why do searches for Make credits show other products?
Other products share the name Make, so a search can return threads about a different tool. Search for Make.com, or use the old name Integromat. Both lead to threads about this product.
