Connect MongoDB and OpenAI (ChatGPT, Sora, DALL-E, Whisper) integrations

Prepare your MongoDB database for connection

Before connecting MongoDB to Make, you need to set up security settings in your MongoDB account. Log into MongoDB, select your Organization and Project, then navigate to the Network Access section under SECURITY. Here you'll add Make's IP addresses to your allowlist by clicking the "+ ADD IP ADDRESS" button and entering the addresses specific to your Make zone. This step ensures that Make has permission to securely communicate with your database.

Locate your database information

In MongoDB's left sidebar, click on Clusters to see your available databases. Select the specific cluster you want to connect to Make—this is where your data is stored. Once selected, click the Connect button and choose "Connect to your application," then select "Drivers." This will display a connection string, which is a special code containing all the information Make needs to access your database. Copy this string carefully as you'll need it in the next steps.

Set up your database login credentials

Before creating the connection in Make, you'll need a username and password for MongoDB. You can either use your existing MongoDB credentials or create a dedicated database user specifically for Make. To create a new user, go to Database Access under the SECURITY section, click "+ ADD NEW DATABASE USER," enter a username and password, and click "Add user." Keep these credentials handy as you'll need them when setting up the connection.

Create the connection in Make

Log into your Make account and add a MongoDB module to your automation scenario. When prompted, click "Create a connection." You can optionally give your connection a descriptive name to help you identify it later if you have multiple connections. This step initiates the bridge between Make and your MongoDB database, allowing the two platforms to communicate.

Complete the connection with your database details

In Make's connection setup screen, paste the connection string you copied from MongoDB into the Connection String field. Before saving, make sure to replace the placeholders <username> and <db_password> in the string with your actual MongoDB credentials. Click Save to establish the connection. Once confirmed, your MongoDB database is now connected to Make and ready to use in your automation workflows.
