1. API Token

The API token is your authentication key for accessing Make.com's API resources. It acts like a secure password for applications.

How to Generate Your API Token:

Step 1: Log in to your Make.com account

Step 2: Click on your avatar/profile icon at the bottom-left corner of the page

Step 3: Select "Profile" from the dropdown menu

Step 4: Open the "API" tab

Step 5: Click "Add token" button

Step 6: Configure your token:

  • Label: Enter a descriptive name for your token (e.g., "Production API", "FlowBeacon Integration")
  • Scopes: Select the permissions/scopes you need for your API operations

Step 7: Click "Save"

Step 8: IMPORTANT: Copy your token immediately and store it securely. Once you leave this page, parts of your token will be hidden for security reasons, and you won't be able to see or copy it again.

API Token Scopes:

API scopes control what operations your token can perform:

  • Read scopes (:read): Allow GET requests to retrieve data without modifications
  • Write scopes (:write): Allow POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests to create, modify, or remove resources

Common scopes include:

  • scenarios:read / scenarios:write
  • connections:read / connections:write
  • organizations:read / organizations:write
  • teams:read / teams:write
  • hooks:read / hooks:write
  • datastores:read / datastores:write

Security Best Practices:

  • Never share your API token with anyone
  • Store tokens securely (use environment variables or secure vaults)
  • Create separate tokens for different applications or purposes
  • If you have access to multiple Make zones, generate separate tokens for each zone
  • Regularly review and revoke unused tokens

2. Team ID

The Team ID is a numeric identifier that represents your team within an organization.

How to Find Your Team ID:

Method 1: Via URL (Easiest)

Step 1: Log in to your Make.com account

Step 2: In the left sidebar, click on "Team"

Step 3: Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. It will look like:

https://us1.make.com/134/team/dashboard

Step 4: The number between make.com/ and /team/ is your Team ID

  • In the example above, the Team ID is 134

Method 2: Via Scenarios Page

Step 1: Navigate to any page within your team (Scenarios, Connections, etc.)

Step 2: Check the URL structure:

https://eu1.make.com/456/scenarios

Step 3: The number after the zone URL (e.g., eu1.make.com/) is your Team ID

  • In this example, the Team ID is 456

Method 3: Via API

You can retrieve team information using the Make API:

  • Endpoint: GET /api/v2/teams/{teamId}
  • List all teams: GET /api/v2/organizations/{organizationId}/teams

3. Organization ID

The Organization ID represents the top-level container that holds all your teams, scenarios, users, and data.

How to Find Your Organization ID:

Method 1: Via URL (Easiest)

Step 1: Log in to your Make.com account

Step 2: Navigate to your organization dashboard by clicking "Org" in the left sidebar

Step 3: Look at the URL in your browser:

https://eu1.make.com/organization/789/dashboard

Step 4: The number after /organization/ is your Organization ID

  • In this example, the Organization ID is 789

Method 2: Via Profile Settings

Step 1: Click your avatar at the bottom-left corner

Step 2: Select "Profile"

Step 3: Go to the "Organizations" tab

Step 4: Your organization details will be displayed, including the Organization ID

Method 3: Using Make Module (Mapping Panel)

Step 1: Create a scenario and add a Make module

Step 2: Open the mapping panel

Step 3: Search for "organization id"

Step 4: The organization ID will be available as a mappable variable

Important Notes:

  • Each organization has its own separate billing and pricing plan
  • Each organization can contain multiple teams
  • You can be a member of multiple organizations
  • The geographical data center location (US or EU) is set when creating an organization and cannot be changed later

4. Zone/Region

The Zone URL indicates the geographical location and environment of your Make.com organization's data center.

How to Find Your Zone URL:

Step 1: Log in to your Make.com account

Step 2: Look at the URL in your browser's address bar

Step 3: The zone URL is the base domain portion:

Common Zone URLs:

United States:

  • https://us1.make.com/
  • https://us2.make.com/
  • https://us1.make.celonis.com/ (Enterprise)

European Union:

  • https://eu1.make.com/
  • https://eu2.make.com/
  • https://eu1.make.celonis.com/ (Enterprise)

Other Regions:

  • https://local.make.cloud/ (On-premise)

Zone URL Structure:

Your complete URL will look like:

https://{zone_url}/api/{api_version}/{api_endpoint}

Example:

https://eu1.make.com/api/v2/users/me

Why Zone URLs Matter:

  • Zone URLs are tied to the infrastructure region (United States or Europe)
  • Different zones may be associated with different pricing plans (Enterprise vs. Standard)
  • Critical: You must use the correct base URL when making API calls, or your requests will fail
  • If you have access to multiple zones, you need separate API tokens for each zone

Use this value in Flow Beacon’s Zone field. It’s the domain shown in your Make.com address bar, such as eu1.make.com or us1.make.com.


5. Optional IDs (advanced)

You don’t need the IDs below to connect Flow Beacon, but they’re useful in advanced workflows and API calls.

User ID

The User ID is your unique identifier within the Make.com platform.

How to Find Your User ID:

Method 1: Via Browser Developer Console

Step 1: Log in to your Make.com account

  • Firefox: Press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) / Cmd+Option+I (Mac)

Step 3: Go to the "Network" tab in the Developer Console

Step 4: Navigate to your organization's Users page (Org → Org Users)

Step 5: Look at the network requests in the console. Filter by "users" or "me"

Step 6: Find your User ID in the request responses

Method 2: Via Make API

Step 1: Use the API endpoint with your authentication token:

GET https://{zone}.make.com/api/v2/users/me

Step 2: The response will include your user details, including your User ID

Step 3: You can use tools like Postman, cURL, or any HTTP client:

curl --location \
--request GET 'https://eu1.make.com/api/v2/users/me' \
--header 'Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN'

Scenario ID

Troubleshooting

"Access Denied" Error (403)

  • Check that your API token has the required scopes
  • Verify you're using the correct authentication header
  • Ensure you have permission to access the resource

"Not Found" Error (404)

  • Verify the ID is correct (Team ID, Scenario ID, etc.)
  • Check that you're using the correct zone URL
  • Ensure the resource exists and hasn't been deleted

Token Not Working

  • Confirm you copied the entire token correctly
  • Check that the token hasn't been revoked
  • Verify you're using the token for the correct zone
  • Ensure the token has not expired (if applicable)

Wrong Zone URL

  • Your API calls must match your account's zone
  • Check your browser URL to confirm your zone
  • Use https://eu1.make.com/ for EU accounts
  • Use https://us1.make.com/ for US accounts
