First time I hear about Make, a Zapier alternative, do you know about this?

what are either of those platforms/services/provider?
-
Zapier provides automation service between different platforms, such as "if it rains tomorrow, send me an alert to take an umbrella"
Used to be quite popular a few years ago, maybe not so much nowadays
-
It's comparable to IFTTT or (now defunct) Yahoo Pipes. "Event on service A triggers action on service B" type stuff.
For example, I use Zapier for things like webhooks on Discord: watching an RSS feed and having it post new updates into a Discord channel.
You could just as easily have it watch, say, a weather site for area and push that to your email (or Pushover account, etc). Or alert you that an item you want is on sale. And so on.

Oh yeah I remember Yahoo Pipes. Was a nice and fun service.

It was great. Was sad when they discontinued it.
Zapier was the closest I could find to it (with a free tier based on number of actions per time period), but Isn't visual. It sounds like Make is visual, though haven't checked if there's a free tier.
