Automate Crypto Trading with Make.com and Purple Flea (No Code Required)
Make.com (formerly Integromat) is one of the most powerful automation platforms available to non-developers. With over 2 million users and integrations with 1,000+ applications, it is a natural home for autonomous crypto workflows. This guide shows you exactly how to connect Purple Flea's financial APIs to Make.com in under 15 minutes — no coding required.
By the end of this guide, you will have a live scenario that automatically executes a crypto trade based on a price trigger, sends a notification with the result, and is ready to extend into a full portfolio automation system.
What You Will Need
- Make.com account — the free tier supports everything in this guide (1,000 operations/month). Sign up at make.com.
- Purple Flea API key — free from /api-keys. Takes 30 seconds. No credit card required.
- A scenario idea — we will build the "BTC Dip Buyer" as our example, but the pattern applies to any workflow.
Make.com's free plan includes 1,000 operations per month and scenarios run every 15 minutes. For higher frequency trading (every 1-5 minutes), you will need their Core plan at $9/month. Purple Flea's free API tier handles up to 500 requests per day.
Step 1: Create a New Scenario
Open the Scenario Builder
Log in to make.com and click Create a new scenario from the dashboard. You will see the visual canvas — this is where you drag, connect, and configure automation modules without writing any code.
Click the large + circle in the center to add your first module. This will be your trigger — the event that kicks off the entire workflow.
Step 2: Configure the HTTP Module
Purple Flea's API is a standard REST API, which Make.com can call using its built-in HTTP module. No custom connector needed.
Search for "HTTP" and select "Make a request"
In the module search, type "HTTP" and select the HTTP → Make a request module. This is the universal module for calling any REST API.
Configure the request
Fill in the module settings as follows:
Set the request body
In the Body section, add your trade parameters as a JSON object. For a simple BTC buy:
{
"symbol": "BTC",
"side": "buy",
"size_usd": 1000,
"order_type": "market"
}You can replace hardcoded values with dynamic Make.com variables from earlier modules — for example, the price data from a CoinGecko API call.
Step 3: Add a Trigger
Now connect a trigger module before your HTTP module. The trigger determines when your scenario runs. Make.com supports several trigger types that work well with crypto automation:
Schedule Trigger
Run every N minutes, hours, or days. Perfect for regular portfolio rebalancing or scheduled price checks.
Google Sheets Trigger
Fire when a new row is added or a cell changes. Use as a manual override dashboard to queue trades.
Webhook Trigger
Receive an HTTP POST from TradingView alerts, price monitors, or any other service that can send webhooks.
Slack/Telegram Trigger
Fire when a specific message is received in a channel. Use natural language commands to control your agent.
TradingView supports webhook alerts on price conditions. Set up an alert (e.g., "BTC crosses below $75,000") with your Make.com webhook URL as the destination. When triggered, your scenario fires automatically and posts to Purple Flea's trade endpoint.
Example: The BTC Dip Buyer Scenario
This complete example scenario automatically buys BTC when its price drops more than 3% in a 6-hour window — a classic dip-buying strategy built entirely without code.
📈 BTC Dip Buyer Scenario
Automatically buys $500 of BTC when price drops >3% in 6 hours, then sends a Telegram notification with the fill details.
{{1.bitcoin.usd_24h_change}} < -3 (price dropped more than 3%)
{"symbol":"BTC","side":"buy","size_usd":500}
Setting this up takes about 10 minutes in the Make.com visual editor. The entire scenario — price check, condition routing, trade execution, and notification — requires zero lines of code. Make handles the scheduling, error retries, and logging automatically.
More Scenario Ideas
Portfolio Rebalancer
Every week, fetch portfolio weights from Purple Flea's wallet API, compare to targets, and fire rebalancing trades to bring each asset back to target allocation.
Domain Registrar
Watch a Google Sheet for new domain ideas. When a row is added, trigger Purple Flea's domain API to check availability and register if available and under price threshold.
Scheduled Casino Runs
Every Sunday, send a fixed amount to Purple Flea's casino API, log the results to Google Sheets, and post a weekly summary to Slack.
Escrow Payment Releaser
Monitor a webhook for escrow completion events from Purple Flea. When triggered, release payment and send receipt to both parties via email.
Tips for Production Use
- Store your API key as a Make.com variable — under Connections or as a scenario variable, so it is not hardcoded in each module
- Add an error handler — Make supports rollback paths when an HTTP module returns a non-200 response. Send failures to a Slack channel for monitoring
- Use the scenario history — every execution is logged with full input/output. Use this to debug failed trades or unexpected behavior
- Test with small amounts first — Make's "Run once" button lets you execute the scenario once manually to verify behavior before enabling the schedule
- Set operation alerts — Make can email you when you are approaching your monthly operation limit
Purple Flea's free tier allows 500 API calls per day. A scenario running every 15 minutes makes 96 calls per day — well within limits. If you need higher frequency, consider the Purple Flea Pro tier which has unlimited API calls.
Conclusion
Make.com and Purple Flea together form a powerful no-code automation stack for crypto operations. In 15 minutes you can have a live price-triggered trading scenario running without writing a single line of code. As your needs grow, the same pattern scales to multi-step workflows, conditional logic trees, and multi-service integrations.
The Purple Flea API supports trading, wallet management, domain registration, escrow, casino operations, and faucet claims — all accessible as simple HTTP requests that Make.com can call from any trigger. See the full API documentation for all available endpoints.
