Why Connect KeyPay to Make?

KeyPay limitations compound the integration challenge: reporting is adequate for standard payroll needs but requires exports for custom workforce analytics or cross-referencing with other systems

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

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

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

KeyPay uses a REST API while Make uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

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

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 KeyPay and operations scheduling in Make require manual coordination

How We Help

Australian mid-market businesses lose hours every week copying employees and pay-runs between KeyPay and Make. Clever Ops builds a custom integration that automates this entire workflow, so your team can redirect that time to higher-value tasks. On the technical side, KeyPay uses a REST API with API key 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 KeyPay means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses KeyPay and Make. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.

Amplify KeyPay Strengths

KeyPay excels because automated award interpretation handles complex Australian Modern Award calculations including penalties, overtime, and allowances with minimal manual input. Connecting it to Make ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

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

KeyPay to Make Use Cases
