Connect Make to My Store Locator

What you can do with it

• React to events: a new enquiry from the map becomes a task in your CRM, a message in your team chat or a row in a spreadsheet.
• Maintain locations automatically: new stores from your ERP, a spreadsheet or a form are created or updated in My Store Locator.
• Sync: fetch changed locations regularly (updatedSince) and pass them on to other systems.

Before you start

• A My Store Locator account on the Starter plan or higher - API keys and webhooks are included there (see plans)
• An API key with the right permissions (in the app under API & Webhooks)

Trigger: an event from My Store Locator

1. Create a scenario in Make and choose Webhooks → Custom webhook as the first step. Make creates a webhook URL.
2. In My Store Locator, create a webhook with that URL under API & Webhooks, format JSON, and choose the events.
3. In Make, click Redetermine data structure and send a test event from the app. Make detects the fields.
4. Add the following modules, for example Google Sheets, a CRM or email.

Available events: location.created, location.updated, location.deleted, map.published, lead.created, import.finished. Every delivery carries the headers X-MSL-Event and X-MSL-Signature (HMAC-SHA256) so you can verify where it came from. If a delivery fails, we retry after 1, 5 and 30 minutes.

Action: create or update a location

1. In the app, create an API key with the locations:write permission.
2. In Make, add the module HTTP → Make a request.
3. URL https://app.my-store-locator.com/api/v1/ext/locations, method POST.
4. Under Headers: Authorization = Bearer msl_live_… (your key).
5. Body type "Raw", Content type "JSON (application/json)", body as JSON with values from previous modules.

To update a location, use PATCH with /api/v1/ext/locations/{id}.

An example body for a new location:

{
  "name": "Store Frankfurt North",
  "street": "Musterstraße 1",
  "zip": "60320",
  "city": "Frankfurt am Main",
  "country": "DE"
}

If coordinates are missing, the address is geocoded by our map server. New locations appear on all published maps unless you name specific maps. All endpoints and fields are listed under API and webhooks.

Only occasional bulk updates? CSV import is often enough: export the list, import it, done.

Security

• Give the API key only the permissions the workflow needs, for example just locations:write.
• Store the key in Make's credentials, not as plain text in individual steps.
• Revoke keys you no longer need in the app with one click.
