What changes in the Zapier → Make migration
Data layer
Your existing Zapier data is exported, cleaned, and imported into Make. We validate every record and run reconciliation checks before go-live.
UI & frontend
Screens are rebuilt in Make from your existing designs or Figma files. We match pixel-perfect fidelity while adopting Make's component model.
Integrations
Third-party connections (APIs, webhooks, auth providers, payment gateways) are re-wired and tested in the Make environment with the same or better coverage.
Testing & QA
Every user journey is regression-tested against the original Zapier behaviour. We run parallel environments until you are confident to cut over.
How we migrate from Zapier to Make
Our 4-phase process eliminates risk, keeps your live Zapier app running throughout, and delivers a fully tested Make build before you cut over.
Audit
We map every feature, data model, integration, and custom logic in your Zapier app. Nothing gets missed before we start building.
Map
We produce a feature-by-feature migration plan — what maps directly to Make, what needs redesign, and what can be simplified or removed.
Rebuild
We build the Make version in weekly sprints alongside your live Zapier app. You demo and approve each module before we move on.
Launch
We run a final data sync, flip DNS or routing, and monitor for 48 hours post-launch. Full documentation and handover included.
