In this use case, we are going to use the API to add users to a Softr app via Make. We are going to add users on Airtable and send them to Softr. Let’s proceed.
  • Option 1: Make's Softr module
  • Option 2: Using a Custom HTTP Request

Setting a Trigger

First of all, we’re going to create a table on Airtable with Name, Email, Password, Magic Link, Created Date/Time (needed for watching record creation in Make) columns to store user data.

Then, we’ll go to Make dashboard, create a new scenario, and add a trigger that watches for new records on our selected table. See below.

Now, we need to set up an Action to add the users received from Airtable. There are two options for this:
  • Make’s Softr module;
  • Custom HTTPrequest.
Let’s consider each option separately.

Configuring the Action

Let’s add a new module to the scenario, search for “Softr,” and select it.

Then, we are going to choose the Create a User option.

Next, we need to establish a connection with our Softr account and app, inputing the Softr API key and the domain of the app we want to add users to.

Lastly, we need to map the user fields from our table as shown below.

Mapping the user fields

As you can see, we haven’t mapped the Magiclink field from the table but have just set the value to Yes to generate one automatically. We can sync it back to a Airtable if we connect it to Softr, which we’ll discuss in Step 3.
That’s it. Now, we just need to save the module and the scenario is ready. Let’s test it to make sure everything is working correctly.

Testing the Scenario

Let’s add a new user to our table and check if it’s sent to our Softr app successfully.
This is optional, but we are also going to connect our Softr users base to the same Airtable base and table at the beginning to sync user data from Softr to Airtable as well. This way, the magic link that’s been generated when fetching the user from Airtable to Softr will be stored in Softr and eventually synced back to Airtable.

Deleting a User

The delete request can be implemented in a similar way through an HTTP (Make a request) module.
