Set up Getwello with Make.com
Visual scenarios. Branch with Router, fan out to dozens of modules. Ten minutes end to end.
This guide wires Getwello into a Make.com scenario so check-ins, missed-day alerts and visits flow into one or more destination modules. Visual, branchable, no code.
What you need
- A Make.com account (free tier covers 1,000 ops/month, plenty for a family).
- A Getwello Coordinator account with active subscription.
- 10 minutes.
Step 1: Create the scenario
- In Make, click Create scenario.
- Add a Webhooks module → Custom webhook.
- Click Add to create a hook. Name it “Getwello”. Copy the URL Make shows.
Step 2: Mint a Getwello API key
Open Settings → Developer API as a Coordinator. Name the key “Make.com”. Copy the gw_live_ token.
Step 3: Create the Getwello webhook subscription
Settings → Developer API → Webhooks → Create. URL is the Make webhook from Step 1. Pick the events you want.
Step 4: Verify the signature (optional but recommended)
After the webhook trigger, add a Tools → HMAC SHA256 module. Input: {{1.headers.x-getwello-timestamp}}.{{1.bodyRaw}}. Secret: your signing secret. Add a Filter on the next module that only passes through when computed HMAC equals the v1 part of the signature header.
Step 5: Add a Router and destination modules
Drop a Router module after the verification. Add a route for each destination. Map fields to the destination module (Gmail, Discord, Sheets, anything supported).
Test
- Click Run once in Make. It waits for an event.
- On Getwello, click Test next to the webhook. Make receives the event.
- Verify each route runs as expected. If the verification fails, double-check the signing secret.
- Click Save, then turn the scenario on.
Troubleshooting
HMAC fails: Make can parse the body before you get to HMAC. Use the bodyRaw field, not the parsed body.
Operations run out: the free plan is 1,000 ops/month. If you wire many routes per event, you may exceed. Upgrade or trim routes.
