Ultimately, <strong>integrating Make with Mailrelay<\/strong> boosts the efficiency of your digital strategy and frees up your team to focus on strategic tasks.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to integrate Make with your email marketing tool?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating Make with your email marketing service (like Mailrelay) is done in just a few steps:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Create a Make account: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.make.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up<\/a> and access the visual editor. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to code; everything is done using menus and diagrams.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Add your email provider: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search for the email module or your platform&#8217;s name in Make. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, connect Mailrelay using the API.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Define a trigger: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the event that will start the workflow. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples of this could be: &#8220;New subscriber added&#8221; or &#8220;Campaign sent&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make analyzes your email tool and will automatically detect that event.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Configure the actions: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 After the trigger, choose what to do<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can, for example, send an automated email, save data in a spreadsheet, create a CRM record, etc. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each action is configured by indicating the linked account and the necessary details (recipient, subject, content).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Test and activate the scenario: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before launching the workflow, Make allows you to simulate the steps. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check that everything is working properly and then schedule the execution frequency (real-time, daily, weekly, etc.). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From then on, Make will automatically run the chain of actions every time the initial event occurs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this visual process, even without knowing how to code, it is possible to integrate any email tool with other systems. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example, you could connect Mailrelay with:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> Google Sheets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook Lead Ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or a CRM like HubSpot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is to identify what data you want to sync (new contacts, for example) and then create the workflow in Make so that data flows seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrating email marketing with ERP and BI systems<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating email marketing with <strong>ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or BI (Business Intelligence)<\/strong> systems allows you to align digital campaigns with business management. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An ERP contains key company data<\/strong> (customers, invoices, inventory, finance), <strong>while BI tools analyze that information<\/strong> to make decisions. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connecting both worlds with your email marketing offers a complete overview and coordinated actions.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Advantages of this integration<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By syncing the ERP with Mailrelay, your email marketing leverages real business data. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the ERP can notify Make when a customer purchase is recorded, triggering a thank-you email or a satisfaction survey through Mailrelay. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, <strong>ERP data (stock, payments, returns)<\/strong> can generate segmented or automated emails. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the BI side, exporting Mailrelay metrics to your analytics platform lets you unify marketing reports and trends alongside other business metrics.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Practical examples<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine an e-commerce company. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Make, whenever the ERP detects low inventory, an email could be sent to the logistics team to reorder products. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, when issuing an invoice, the ERP could trigger an action in Mailrelay to subscribe the customer to an email welcome series. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For BI, you could set up workflows that extract Mailrelay data (open rate, clicks, conversions) and integrate it into your corporate dashboard, so the team can see marketing and sales performance in one place.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 How to do it?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, <strong>add your ERP or BI system&#8217;s module to Make<\/strong> (for example, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Power BI, Google Sheets, etc.). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Define the events or queries<\/strong> you are interested in (for example, &#8220;new invoice created&#8221; or &#8220;monthly report ready&#8221;). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Next, connect Mailrelay<\/strong> (or your email tool) in the same workflow. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can create or update subscribers, send specific campaigns, or tag contacts based on the data received. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also possible to use Make&#8217;s email connectors to streamline any custom connection.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of no-code marketing integration<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating email marketing, ERP, and BI without code offers direct benefits:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Time savings: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repetitive tasks (syncing contacts, sending notifications, generating reports) are done automatically, freeing up the team for strategic activities.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Technical independence: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The marketing team can create or adjust integrations without depending on the IT department, speeding up adaptation.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Consistent data: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By syncing in real time, discrepancies between systems are avoided. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All departments access the same information, improving decision-making.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Fast reactions: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation allows you to respond to the business at the right time. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, upon detecting a pending payment, an immediate reminder is sent.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/scalable-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scalability<\/a>: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make workflows can be replicated and expanded as the company grows, without needing to write new code. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, it is easy to integrate new services (CRM, chatbots, e-commerce) into the same tool.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7 Flexibility: <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you change your email provider or ERP, adjusting the workflow visually is easy. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The no-code environment encourages experimenting with new automations.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, no-code automation drives coordination across your digital channels. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, <strong>by using Mailrelay with Make<\/strong>, your email marketing integrates perfectly with other company systems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-90376","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the
