Customising Templates

Templates are starting points. Common customisations:

Adding a filter: Only process emails from specific domains; only create deals for leads above a score threshold.

Adding a Claude step: Between two existing modules, insert an HTTP Claude call to add AI intelligence.

Changing the destination: Template sends to Gmail; change to Outlook, or add both.

Adding error handling: Templates rarely include error routes. Add them for production use.

Adding a Data Store step: Track which records you've already processed to avoid duplicates.

Building Your Own Templates

Experienced Make.com users build reusable Scenario structures that work like internal templates:

Strategy: Build a "master Scenario" for each workflow pattern:

• Email → Classify → Route → Action
• New Record → Enrich → Score → CRM Update
• Webhook → AI Process → Notify + Log

Documentation in sticky notes: Add sticky notes explaining what each section does and how to configure it for different use cases.

Test data: Keep a test configuration so you can validate the template still works after any changes.

Version it: When you significantly change a working Scenario, create a copy first (right-click Scenario → Duplicate).

Template Workflow: Lead Enrichment

This template works for any lead source — just swap the trigger and output.
