How to Migrate from Make (Integromat) to Rows (Step-by-Step)

Last updated: April 2026

Migrating from Make (Integromat) to Rows makes sense when you want to move from complex workflow automation to AI-enhanced spreadsheet automation with live data connections. Rows offers familiar spreadsheet interfaces with powerful automation capabilities, making it ideal for teams that prefer working with data in tabular formats rather than visual workflows. This guide covers inventory assessment, data migration, workflow recreation, testing strategies, and team training. You'll learn how to translate Make's visual automations into Rows' spreadsheet-based automations while maintaining data integrity and functionality.

Data Transfer Guide

Export data from Make by accessing each scenario's data history and using the export functionality. For structured data, export to CSV format. For complex nested data, use JSON exports. In Make's dashboard, navigate to each scenario's operations history and select export options. For Rows import, use the 'Import Data' feature from the File menu. Drag and drop your CSV/JSON files or connect directly to cloud storage. Rows will automatically detect data types and create appropriate columns. For ongoing data syncs, replace Make's data collection modules with Rows' live connectors to services like Google Sheets, databases, or APIs. Test imports with small datasets first to verify formatting before migrating full datasets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Make (Integromat) to Rows?+
Yes, you can export data from Make as CSV or JSON files and import directly into Rows. Historical data transfers easily, while ongoing data flows require setting up Rows' live connectors to replace Make's integration modules.
How long does migration take?+
Migration duration depends on scenario complexity. Simple automations take hours, while complex workflows with multiple integrations may require days. Allow 1-2 weeks for testing and optimization before full cutover.
Will I lose any features switching to Rows?+
You'll gain spreadsheet-based features but may miss some advanced visual workflow capabilities. Rows excels at data manipulation and AI automation but has different paradigms for complex multi-step logic compared to Make's visual builder.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, run parallel systems during testing. Maintain Make workflows while building and testing Rows equivalents. This approach ensures business continuity and allows comparison of outputs before final switchover.
Is Rows cheaper than Make (Integromat)?+
Pricing depends on usage patterns. Rows may be more cost-effective for data-heavy teams preferring spreadsheet interfaces, while Make might better suit complex visual workflow needs. Compare specific feature requirements against both pricing models.
