Make

Gate any Make.com scenario behind a human approval step. Use the HTTP module to submit a request and branch on the Cheqpoint decision before executing sensitive actions.

Prerequisites

Make account (Core plan or higher for the HTTP module).
Cheqpoint Connection Key.

Steps

Open your Make scenario and add an HTTP → Make a request module before any sensitive action module.
Set Method to POST and URL to https://cheqpoint.co/api/webhooks/inbound.
Set Body type to Raw with content-type application/json, then map scenario data to the Cheqpoint schema.
Add the x-api-key header with your Connection Key.
Add a Router module after the HTTP module to branch on the response.
Configure one route for status == approved leading to your action module; configure the fallback route to a notification or stop.

Sample request payload

json

{
  "action": "sync_inventory",
  "summary": "Make scenario requesting inventory sync between Shopify and warehouse",
  "details": {
    "source": "shopify",
    "destination": "warehouse_erp",
    "sku_count": 1240,
    "includes_deletions": true
  },
  "justification": "Nightly reconciliation triggered by inventory discrepancy alert."
}

Sample Cheqpoint response

json

{
  "status": "approved",
  "modifiedDetails": null,
  "decisionNote": "Sync approved. Exclude deletions until audit is complete."
}

Async behaviour

json

// If Cheqpoint returns status "pending", the approval is queued
// for a human reviewer. Handle all three outcomes in your Router:
//
//   status == "approved"  → execute the action module
//   status == "rejected"  → stop / notify via Slack or email
//   status == "pending"   → either:
//     a) poll GET /api/approvals/{approvalId} in a subsequent HTTP module, or
//     b) pass callbackUrl so Cheqpoint POSTs the decision to a Make webhook
//        trigger that resumes the scenario.

{
  "action": "sync_inventory",
  "summary": "Make scenario requesting inventory sync",
  "details": { "source": "shopify", "destination": "warehouse_erp", "sku_count": 1240 },
  "callbackUrl": "https://hook.eu1.make.com/your-make-webhook-id"
}

Notes

You have full control over what data is passed into the details object to provide human reviewers with sufficient context.

Tips

Start by routing only high-risk or high-value actions to minimize friction while maintaining oversight.
