Build your Gmail and Vapi integrations.
Vapi functions as a trigger to automatically initiate Gmail actions based on incoming email activity. When you receive new Vapi messages, Make detects these events and triggers corresponding Gmail voice calls or AI-powered voice interactions. This integration allows you to map data fields from Vapi emails directly into Gmail actions, enabling automated voice responses or calls based on email content. By setting Vapi as your trigger and Gmail as your action, you can simplify the connection between email communications and voice AI operations, automatically executing Gmail functions whenever specific Vapi events occur.

How to setup Gmail and Vapi in 5 easy steps
Get your API key from Vapi
Log into your Vapi account and navigate to the 'Build' menu in the left sidebar, then select 'Vapi API Keys.' Here you'll find your Private Key, which acts like a special password that allows Make to connect with your Vapi account. If you don't see a key listed, click 'Add Key' to create one, then copy this key and save it somewhere safe like a password manager.
Open your Make scenario
Log into your Make account and either open an existing scenario where you want to use Vapi, or create a new scenario from scratch. A scenario is Make's term for an automated workflow. Search for the Vapi module in Make's app directory and add it to your workflow—this module represents the specific action you want Vapi to perform.
Start the connection process
After adding the Vapi module to your scenario, you'll see a prompt asking you to connect to Vapi. Click the 'Create a connection' button to begin linking Make with your Vapi account. This opens a form where you'll provide the information needed to establish the connection between the two platforms.
Enter your connection details
In the connection form, you'll see a field for 'Connection name' where you can optionally give your connection a memorable name like 'My Vapi Connection.' Below that, find the 'API Key' field and paste the Private Key you copied earlier from your Vapi account. Make sure to paste the entire key exactly as it appears, without adding any extra spaces.
Save and test your connection
Click the 'Save' button to finalize your connection between Make and Vapi. If prompted, follow any additional authorization steps to complete the setup. Once saved successfully, your connection is ready to use, and you can now automate tasks between Make and Vapi without any manual intervention.
