Overview

Make is a third-party automation platform that allows users to connect applications and automate workflows without coding. By integrating Rhombus with Make, organizations can access Rhombus data and incorporate it into automated workflows with other applications. This article explains how to connect Rhombus to Make using an API key, create scenarios, and run modules to retrieve data from the Rhombus Console.

Generate an API Key

Before you can set up the Make integration with Rhombus, you need an API key.

1. Log in to the Rhombus Console, navigate to "Settings," then click "Integrations & Developer Resources."

2. Click the "API Tokens" tab along the top of the page, then click "Add API Key."

3. In the dialog, enter a name for the API key. From the "Auth Type" dropdown menu, select "Api Token," then choose an access role for the token and click "Submit."

Note: We recommend selecting "Super Admin Group" as the access role to grant Make full access to your devices.

4. Copy the provided API key to use in the next section.

Note: The API key is displayed only once. If it is lost or forgotten, a new token must be generated.

Setup Guide

1. Log in to the Make App, click "Scenarios," then select "New Scenario."

2. Search for the Rhombus app, then add it to your scenario.

3. Add a connection to the module, then enter a name for the connection and your Rhombus API key from the previous section.

Example

1. Select the module you want to test. In this example, we'll use "Get Minimal Camera State List."

2. Add a connection. If you need to create a new one, click "Add," then enter a name for the connection and your Rhombus API key.

3. Enter the required fields and parameters for your selected module.

4. Once you have finished adding and configuring your modules, click "Run once" to test the scenario. A green checkmark will appear if the scenario runs successfully, and you can view the results.
