Connect Infomaniak to Zapier and Make (Integromat)

Want to automate tasks between Infomaniak and your other tools (CRM, invoicing, project management) without writing code? Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let you create these connections easily. Here\'s how to integrate Infomaniak into your tech stack.

What Are Zapier and Make?

Zapier and Make are "no-code" automation platforms. They let you create automated workflows between different applications, without programming.

The Concept

A workflow (called a "Zap" on Zapier, a "Scenario" on Make) works like this:

1. Trigger – An event occurs (new file, new email, etc.)
2. Actions – One or more actions are executed (create a record, send a notification, etc.)

Example: "When I receive an email with an attachment, save the attachment to kDrive."

Infomaniak and Native Connectors

As of now, Infomaniak doesn\'t have an official native connector on Zapier or Make. But you can still create integrations via:

• Webhooks – Trigger actions via HTTP calls
• Email triggers – Use incoming emails as triggers
• Custom API – Call the Infomaniak API via HTTP modules
• Standard protocols – IMAP, CalDAV, etc.

Email Integration

Email is the simplest way to connect Infomaniak to automation platforms.

Trigger: New Email Received

Zapier and Make can monitor an IMAP mailbox and trigger actions when an email arrives.

Make configuration:

1. Add an "Email" → "Watch emails" module
2. Configure the IMAP connection:
   • Server: mail.infomaniak.com
   • Port: 993 (SSL)
   • Username: your email address
   • Password: your password (or app password if 2FA is enabled)
3. Choose the folder to monitor

Action: Send an Email

Send emails via SMTP from Zapier/Make:

• Server: mail.infomaniak.com
• Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS)
• Authentication: your email address and password

CalDAV Integration

Sync your Infomaniak calendars with other applications via CalDAV.

Zapier + Google Calendar

Workaround: first sync your Infomaniak calendar with Google Calendar via CalDAV, then use Zapier\'s native Google Calendar connector.

Make with CalDAV

Make supports CalDAV natively. You can:

• Monitor new events
• Create events
• Modify events

Infomaniak CalDAV URL: https://caldav.infomaniak.com

API Integration (HTTP)

For advanced integrations, use the Infomaniak API via HTTP modules.

Make Configuration

1. Add an "HTTP" → "Make a request" module
2. Configure:
   • URL: Infomaniak API endpoint
   • Method: GET, POST, etc.
   • Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
   • Body: data to send (JSON)
3. Parse the JSON response

Example: Create a File on kDrive

1. Trigger: new file in Dropbox
2. Action 1: Download the file (Dropbox module)
3. Action 2: Upload to kDrive via HTTP API

Practical Use Cases

CRM → Email

When a new lead arrives in your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive):

1. Trigger on "new contact"
2. Send a personalized welcome email via Infomaniak SMTP

Form → Calendar

When someone fills out an appointment booking form (Typeform, Google Forms):

1. Trigger on "new response"
2. Create an event in the Infomaniak calendar via CalDAV

Invoice → Email + kDrive

When an invoice is created in your invoicing tool:

1. Trigger on "new invoice"
2. Download the PDF
3. Save to kDrive via API
4. Send by email to the client

Notification → kChat

When an important event occurs (payment received, monitoring alert):

1. Trigger on the event
2. Send a message to kChat via webhook

Incoming Webhooks with kChat

kChat supports incoming webhooks, allowing you to send notifications automatically.

1. In kChat, set up an incoming webhook for a channel
2. Copy the webhook URL
3. In Zapier/Make, use this URL as the HTTP destination
4. Format the message according to kChat\'s expected format

Limitations and Considerations

No Native Connector

The absence of an official Infomaniak connector requires using generic protocols (IMAP, HTTP, CalDAV). It\'s slightly more technical but works well.

Authentication

If you\'ve enabled 2FA, use an app password rather than your main password for IMAP/SMTP connections in Zapier/Make.

Latency

Email triggers (IMAP polling) have a latency of a few minutes. It\'s not real-time. For near-real-time, use webhooks or the API.

Alternatives to Zapier/Make

Other automation platforms exist:

• n8n – Open source, self-hostable
• Pipedream – Developer-oriented
• IFTTT – Simple but limited
• Power Automate – Microsoft ecosystem

The same techniques (IMAP, HTTP, CalDAV) work with all these platforms.

Conclusion

Even without a native connector, Infomaniak integrates well into automated workflows via Zapier and Make. Standard protocols (IMAP, CalDAV) and the API open up many possibilities.

Start with simple automations (emails, calendar) then evolve toward more complex workflows using the API. The setup investment is quickly offset by time saved.
