Collection

A collection in Make.com is like a box that holds related items together, organizing data for easy management. For example, you might have a collection of contacts or customer orders.

Here’s an example of a contacts collection in JSON format:

[
  {
    "name": "Emmah",
    "phone": "123-456-7890",
    "email": "emmah@example.com"
  },
  {
    "name": "Joe",
    "phone": "987-654-3210",
    "email": "joe@example.com"
  }
]

You could also have a collection of orders like this:

[
  {
    "customer": "Linda",
    "item": "Laptop",
    "orderDate": "2025-02-10"
  },
  {
    "customer": "Sammie",
    "item": "Phone",
    "orderDate": "2025-02-10"
  }
]

Using collections helps you manage multiple items, so you can work with the whole group instead of each item individually.

Luckily, you don’t have to deal with JSON codes often.

In Make.com, a collection will simply be shown like this;
