→How to Migrate from Make (Integromat) to Zapier AI (Step-by-Step)
Last updated: March 2026
Migrating from Make (Integromat) to Zapier AI offers enhanced AI capabilities, a more extensive app library (6000+ vs thousands), and potentially simpler pricing for AI-focused workflows. While Make excels at complex multi-step automations, Zapier AI provides native AI chatbot creation, GPT-4 integration, and a vast template library that accelerates development. This guide covers planning, step-by-step migration, data transfer strategies, feature mapping, and timeline estimates to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining automation continuity.
Estimated Timeline
solo user
1-3 days for 5-10 workflows
small team
1-2 weeks for 20-50 workflows
enterprise
3-6 weeks for 100+ workflows with complex dependencies

| Make (Integromat) | Zapier AI Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Scenario Builder | Zap Editor | Zapier uses a linear flow vs Make's branching visual canvas; Paths feature provides routing |
| Error Handling Modules | Error Alerts & Retry Logic | Zapier has automatic retries and email alerts but less visual error routing than Make |
| Make AI Modules | Zapier AI Actions | Zapier offers native GPT-4, Claude, and custom AI chatbot integration |
| Data Stores | Zapier Tables | Both provide simple database functionality; Zapier Tables included in higher plans |
| Webhooks | Webhooks by Zapier | Similar functionality; Zapier includes parsing and security features |
| Schedule Module | Schedule Trigger | Both support cron-like scheduling; Zapier offers more frequent intervals on paid plans |
| Router Module | Paths | Zapier's Paths create branching workflows similar to Make's routers |
| Custom Code (HTTP, JS) | Code by Zapier | Zapier supports JavaScript and Python; Make offers more low-level HTTP control |
Data Transfer Guide
Make doesn't have a bulk export for scenario data, but you can export individual scenario blueprints as images/PDFs. For data within apps (like CRM records or spreadsheet data), migrate directly through Zapier's actions: Create Zaps that copy data from source to destination apps. Use Zapier's built-in transfer tools or third-party services for large datasets. For historical execution data, export logs from Make's history tab and store them separately. Test data transfers with small batches first to ensure formatting compatibility between platforms.
