How to Import and Configure a JSON Blueprint in Make.com
At Spun Web Technology, we create powerful automation blueprints that help businesses save time, reduce manual effort, and scale operations more efficiently. If you’ve downloaded a .json
blueprint file from us, this guide will walk you through the process of importing it into Make.com and configuring it correctly.

What You Need Before You Start
Before importing your automation blueprint, make sure you have the following ready:
- A Make.com account (free or pro)
- Access to the required services and APIs used in the workflow (e.g., Google Sheets, Gmail, ClickUp, OpenAI)
- Any necessary API credentials or third-party logins
- A basic understanding of your automation use case
Step 1: Log into Make.com
Go to https://www.make.com and log in to your account.
If you don’t have one, create a free account.
Step 2: Create a New Scenario
From the dashboard, click the Scenarios tab on the left-hand menu.
Then click the Create a new scenario button to open the scenario editor.
Step 3: Import the JSON Blueprint
To import your automation:
- In the scenario editor, click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
- Select Import Blueprint from the dropdown.
- Choose the
.json
file you downloaded from Spun Web Technology and upload it.
Your blueprint will automatically populate the editor with all predefined modules and logic.
Step 4: Connect Your Apps
Now it’s time to link your actual accounts and services:
- Click each module and connect the associated app (e.g., Google Sheets, Gmail, OpenAI, etc.).
- Authorize access to Make.com when prompted.
- Repeat for each module that requires authentication.
Once connected, Make will remember your credentials for future use.
Step 5: Map Your Fields
Most blueprints from Spun Web Technology include placeholders or example field mappings.
Go through each module and make sure the fields match your actual data.
Examples include:
- Google Sheet column headers
- API field values
- Static text like user names or email templates
You can adjust or extend the logic to suit your workflow needs.
Step 6: Set Up the Trigger
The first module in your scenario is usually the trigger (e.g., webhook, schedule, or data input).
Open the trigger module and confirm it’s set up for your desired action:
- Webhook: Make sure the URL is active and accessible
- Schedule: Define how often the scenario should run
- Watcher: Set the correct data range or time window
Step 7: Run a Test
Click Run Once in the top-right menu to manually test the entire scenario.
Make will show live execution results and highlight any errors.
If something doesn’t work:
- Review field mappings
- Recheck your API credentials
- Modify test data or sample inputs
Repeat testing until the full flow works without errors.
Step 8: Activate the Scenario
Once everything is working:
- Turn on the scenario by toggling the switch in the lower-left corner.
- The scenario will now run automatically based on the trigger you configured.
You can also set up detailed logs and notifications inside Make for better visibility and tracking.
