Automate Rhombus API operations using Make.com’s (formerly Integromat) visual workflow builder. Alternative to writing custom code for common integration patterns.

​
Quick Start

1

Get API Key

Generate API key at Rhombus Console → Settings → API Management
2

Connect in Make

Add Rhombus module in Make.com, authenticate with your API key
3

Build Scenario

Add modules, configure actions, test and activate

​
Available Modules

​
Access Control

ModuleFunctionAPI Equivalent
Add Users to GroupAdd users to access control groupsPOST /api/accesscontrol/addUsersToAccessControlGroup
Create GroupCreate new access control groupPOST /api/accesscontrol/createAccessControlGroup
Assign CredentialAssign unassigned credential to userPOST /api/accesscontrol/assignUnassignedCredential
Delete UserRemove user from organizationDELETE /api/user/deleteUser

​
Camera & Video

ModuleFunctionAPI Equivalent
Create HTTP StreamGenerate raw HTTP video streamPOST /api/camera/createRawHttpStream
Create SeekpointAdd custom marker to video timelinePOST /api/camera/createCustomSeekpoint
Get AI ThresholdsRetrieve AI confidence thresholdsGET /api/camera/getAINormalizedConfidenceThresholds
Get Hardware DetailsFetch camera hardware specificationsPOST /api/camera/getHardwareDetailsForMultipleCameras

​
Sensors

ModuleFunctionAPI Equivalent
Get BLE Base StationsRetrieve Bluetooth sensor base stationsGET /api/sensor/getBaseStationsForBleSensors

​
Universal

ModuleFunction
Make API CallExecute any Rhombus API endpoint with custom parameters
All modules map to Rhombus REST API endpoints. See API Reference for detailed endpoint documentation.

​
Authentication

# Get API key from Rhombus Console
https://console.rhombussystems.com/settings/api-management/

# Use in Make.com connection
API Key: YOUR_RHOMBUS_API_KEY
Base URL: https://api2.rhombussystems.com
Treat API keys as passwords. Each key has full API access with your account permissions.

​
Common Patterns

​
Employee Onboarding

HR System → Make.com → Rhombus
1. Trigger: New employee in HRIS
2. Create/update access group
3. Assign credential
4. Log to audit system

​
Video Stream Integration

Schedule → Make.com → Rhombus → Analytics Platform
1. Trigger: Scheduled interval
2. Get camera list
3. Create HTTP streams
4. Send URLs to analytics system

​
Temporary Access

Check-in System → Make.com → Rhombus
1. Trigger: Visitor check-in
2. Add to temporary access group
3. Schedule removal (time-based)
4. Send notification when access expires

Make.com Platform Features

FeaturePurpose
RoutersBranch workflows based on conditions
FiltersExecute modules conditionally
IteratorsProcess arrays item-by-item
AggregatorsCombine multiple operations
Error HandlersCatch and handle failures
WebhooksTrigger scenarios from external events

Pricing

PlanOperations/MonthUse Case
Free1,000Testing, personal use
Core10,000+Small teams
ProCustomProduction workloads
Each module execution = 1 operation. A 5-module scenario running 100 times = 500 operations.

​
Troubleshooting

IssueSolution
Auth failsVerify API key is active at console.rhombussystems.com
Module errorsCheck execution history for error details; verify required fields
Rate limitsRhombus API: 1000 req/hr. Add delays between operations if hitting limits
Data mappingUse Make.com’s data structure viewer; verify field paths

​
When to Use Make vs Custom Code

Use Make.com WhenWrite Custom Code When
Standard CRUD operationsComplex business logic required
Connecting existing appsBuilding custom UI/UX
No-code team membersNeed sub-second latency
Rapid prototypingHighly customized workflows
Visual workflow preferredVersion control critical
