Why Connect Deputy to Make?

Manually copying data between Deputy and Make wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Reporting across Deputy and Make requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

No single source of truth when employees live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Deputy and Make aligned

Make adds complexity: steeper learning curve than Zapier, particularly for non-technical users unfamiliar with the concepts of routers, iterators, and data mapping

Guest booking data in Deputy and operations scheduling in Make require manual coordination

Online orders in Deputy and in-store inventory in Make are never in sync, frustrating customers

How We Help

Connecting Deputy (accounting & finance) with Make (automation) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Hospitality & Tourism and Retail & E-commerce businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of employees and shifts data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Deputy uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unlock Make Value

Make stands out because visual scenario builder with a node-based interface is more intuitive for complex multi-step workflows than Zapier linear approach. Integrating it with Deputy means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

Our integrations include automatic retries, error queuing, and real-time notifications. If something fails between Deputy and Make, your team knows immediately and the system self-recovers where possible.

Real-Time Visibility Across Teams

When a record updates in Deputy, every team member working in Make sees the change instantly. No lag, no stale dashboards, no conflicting reports.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Deputy and Make in sync, even as your business doubles.

Deputy to Make Use Cases
