Make + Hooksbase
Make workflows + Hooksbase events.
Add reliable webhook ingest, replay, and DLQ in front of your Make scenarios — without leaving Make.
Hooksbase works with Make — it sits in front of your Make scenarios as the reliable event layer, adding multi-channel ingest, signature verification, replay, and a DLQ; it complements Make rather than replacing the scenario builder.

Why Make + Hooksbase
Two layers. Clean separation.
Make is your workflow automation tool. Hooksbase is your event infrastructure. Keeping them separate means your event layer stays the same when you switch workflow automation tools — and your workflow stays the same when you add new event sources.
Make gives you a webhook URL. Point any event source — Stripe, GitHub, email, embedded forms, cron — at Hooksbase, and Hooksbase dispatches to Make.
Make emits results. Hooksbase routes them to one or many destinations — SQS, Pub/Sub, S3, other webhooks — with retries, strict FIFO, and throttling.
When Make times out or returns an error, the event lands in Hooksbase’s DLQ. Fix the workflow, bulk re-drive, confirm deterministic replay.
Connect in 3 steps
About ten minutes, no code.
From your Make workflow’s trigger configuration, grab the webhook URL. It looks like `https://hook.eu1.make.com/abcdef123456`.
Sign up for Hooksbase (free), create a project, and paste the Make URL as the destination. Pick a provider pack if events come from Stripe, GitHub, Clerk, Slack, or Resend.
Take the Hooksbase ingest URL and point your sources at it — provider webhooks, email routing, form embed, cron. Your Make workflow is now behind verified, reliable event infrastructure.
Featured recipes
Common Make + Hooksbase workflows.
Verify Stripe in Hooksbase, route into your Make scenario. If a Sheets API hiccup fails the run, replay it deterministically without re-billing the customer.
Inbound support email lands at Hooksbase, fires the Make scenario. Make calls an AI module to classify and writes to your ticketing tool — failures land in DLQ.
Embedded form runs through Hooksbase, triggers Make. Scenario enriches via clearbit, writes to HubSpot. Replay any failed run with the original form data.
One Hooksbase webhook with routing rules fans out to multiple Make scenarios based on payload. No need for a master scenario that branches.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Hooksbase replace Make?
- No. Make is your scenario builder; Hooksbase is the reliable event layer in front of it. Hooksbase handles multi-channel ingest, signature verification, replay, and DLQ, then triggers your Make scenarios.
- Why use Hooksbase with Make instead of Make’s built-in webhook trigger?
- Make’s webhook trigger receives an HTTP request but doesn’t verify provider signatures, persist payloads for deterministic replay, or hold failures in a DLQ. Hooksbase adds that durability and also ingests email, form, and scheduled cron events Make’s webhook trigger can’t receive directly.
- Can I verify Stripe or GitHub signatures before a Make scenario runs?
- Yes. Hooksbase verifies provider signatures (Stripe, GitHub, Clerk, Slack, Resend) at ingest, so your Make scenario runs only on events Hooksbase has already authenticated.
- What happens when a Make scenario run fails?
- The failed event lands in the Hooksbase DLQ. You bulk re-drive it after fixing the scenario, and Hooksbase replays the original payload deterministically — so a downstream hiccup never forces you to re-bill or re-process a customer twice.
- Do I need to write code to use Hooksbase with Make?
- No. You paste your Make webhook URL into Hooksbase as the destination and point your event sources at the Hooksbase ingest URL; no code is required.
