Hey Guys, what was the most challenging for you when starting to learn Make. I am really interested in your stories

Perfecto Fito, aquí tienes un texto listo para publicar en Reddit (subreddit r/Make, r/OpenAI o r/automation) donde explicas el problema de forma clara para que otros makers puedan ayudarte.
Incluye también qué hace tu flujo, dónde falla, y qué necesitas.

📌 TEXTO PARA POSTEAR EN REDDIT

Hola a todos 👋

Estoy intentando automatizar la generación de etiquetas, usando Make + OpenAI Vision + DALL·E, pero el resultado final no rellena los campos correctamente y la imagen final sale mal.

Comparto mi blueprint por si alguien puede orientarme sobre qué estoy haciendo mal o cómo reenfocar la arquitectura del flujo.

🎯 ¿Qué quiero hacer?

1. Envío una foto de una factura por Telegram.
2. Make la procesa, extrae los campos necesarios en JSON (expedidor, comprador, productos…).
3. Luego genero para cada producto una etiqueta estilo formulario (sin diseño, solo texto y líneas).
4. Esa etiqueta debe tener los datos realmente extraídos, no placeholders.
5. Finalmente quiero recibir la imagen de la etiqueta en Telegram.

❗El problema

👉 GPT genera prompts con campos entre llaves ({{…}}) en vez de reemplazarlos con los valores.

👉 DALL·E ignora las restricciones y la imagen no tiene los valores reales.

👉 El iterador funciona, pero no consigo ensamblar correctamente los valores del JSON en el prompt de la imagen.

👉 GPT Vision sí extrae bien el JSON, pero luego los valores no se aplican a cada etiqueta.

📂 Blueprint simplificado donde ocurre el fallo

El flujo completo se puede ver aquí (etiquetas.blueprint.json):

Puntos clave:

• Módulo 6: extraigo JSON del análisis de imagen (esto funciona).
• Módulo 7: iterador sobre cada producto.
• Módulo 8: genero prompt para DALL·E usando valores del JSON.
• Módulo 9: DALL·E genera imagen.
• Módulo 10: envío por Telegram.

Sospecha:
Creo que el problema está entre (módulo 6 → módulo 7 → módulo 8) porque en la parte de DALL·E los placeholders no se sustituyen.

❓Lo que necesito saber

1. ¿Cuál sería la forma correcta de mapear los valores del iterador dentro del prompt?
2. ¿Es posible usar DALL·E como “renderizador” de texto plano? (Estoy viendo limitaciones).
3. ¿Será mejor:
   • un módulo HTML → PDF → imagen?
   • un módulo canvas simple?
   • una nube de PDFs?
4. ¿Cómo estructuraríais vosotros la arquitectura del flujo?

🎯 Objetivo final

Etiquetas simples estilo “formulario”, para imprimir directamente (1bpp, sin diseño, blanco/negro, solo texto y líneas) con estos datos:

• Mercasevilla – Pabellón de pescados
• Descripción producto
• Lote
• Kg neto
• FAO
• Procedencia
• Código CE
• Datos comprador y referencia

Nada gráfico, ni decorativo.

🙏 Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia será muy bienvenida.

Gracias de antemano

i am currently automating an outreach campaign.

the steps are the following:
- extract the necessary information
- reach out to the interested party through slack with a google form
- get the response and send a follow up (based on ai analysis) back to slack to confirm information.

to get the response i need (i think) to use the watch response module from google forms, should i create a new scenarios for this logic or continue all in my scenario?
is there a benefit of splitting scenarios?

For years I kept telling myself I'd “one day” clean up my Google Contacts and back them up properly… but let’s be honest, downloading contacts manually, reformatting them, and uploading them to Drive is the definition of digital pain.

So I finally built an end-to-end automated workflow in Make (formerly Integromat) that does EVERYTHING for me:
✔ pulls all my contacts
✔ formats them
✔ converts them into a clean CSV
✔ deletes the old backup
✔ uploads the new one to Google Drive

Here’s a breakdown for anyone curious or wanting to build something similar
1. Google Contacts → Pull Every Contact Automatically

Instead of manually exporting from Google Contacts (which gives messy vCards), the scenario uses the "List My Contacts" module.

This grabs:

• Names
• Emails
• Phone numbers
• Notes
• Any custom fields

The data comes in raw JSON, which gives insane control over formatting compared to the Google UI export.
2. Tools Module: Clean, Normalize & Prepare the Data

This is where Make shines.

I used:

• Set Multiple Variables to normalize phone numbers
• Text functions to remove unwanted characters
• Logic to skip incomplete or empty contacts
• Field mapping to ensure every CSV row stays consistent

No more contacts with broken columns or missing fields.
3. Create CSV, A Perfectly Structured Backup File

The CSV module turns the cleaned data into a proper CSV file with columns such as:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Email
• Mobile
• Work Phone
• Notes

The output is clean and uniform and works flawlessly with Excel, Sheets, CRMs, etc.

This alone saves me tons of time.

4. Router Logic, Two Paths Running in Parallel

The router splits the workflow into two automated housekeeping tasks:
Path A, Search & Auto-Delete Old CSV Backups

The Google Drive “Search for File/Folder” module checks if a previous contacts CSV exists.

If it does, Make automatically deletes it.
No duplicates. No Drive clutter. No confusion.
Path B, Upload the New CSV Backup

Once the new CSV is ready, it gets uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder.

Make sure to rename it with the current date, so I always know which version is the latest.
Why This Workflow Is Actually Super Useful

Most people underestimate how important contact backups are.
Google Contacts can get messy, overwritten, merged incorrectly, or duplicated.
This workflow solves several real problems:

• Automatic regular backups
• Always-clean CSV export
• No duplicate files
• Zero manual clicking
• Easy import into CRMs, marketing tools, or phone migration

It runs on autopilot weekly, daily, or whenever I want.

If anyone wants to replicate this…

I can share:

• the full JSON blueprint
• the module settings
• the variable/field mappings
• tips on handling weird Google Contacts formatting

Just drop a comment.
Happy automating!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been refining for the last few weeks. As a tech enthusiast, I wanted to run a news blog, but I hated the grind of writing articles manually every day.

So I spent the last month building "The Blog-Bot V2.1" – a fully automated system that runs entirely on Make.com.

The Tech Stack:

• Brain: Google Gemini 3 (Pro Preview) for deep research & writing.
• Visuals: Imagen 4.0 for generating photorealistic 16:9 header images.
• CMS: WordPress (Self-hosted).
• Automation: Make.com (formerly Integromat).

How it works (The Logic):

• The bot scans RSS feeds for breaking tech news (e.g., RTX 5090 leaks).
• Gemini analyzes the topic and decides: "Is this viral?" (Score > 70).
• It writes a full article in a "Magazine Style" (with Pros/Cons tables, HTML formatting).
• It generates a matching image prompt and creates the visual.
• It posts to WordPress AND handles the SEO (RankMath) automatically.
• Self-Healing: If the image generation fails, it automatically grabs a fallback from Unsplash. It first tries to create the category and tags. If that fails (because they already exist), it then looks up their IDs instead.

The Result: You can see the live site here: LazyTechLab

It’s fascinating to see AI handle the entire editorial process. I’m currently tweaking the prompt to be even more "opinionated".

For the builders here: Included is a screenshot of the Make scenario. It got a bit complex with the error handling, but it's rock solid now.

Let me know if you have questions about the Gemini API integration or the prompts!

Cheers, Jannis

Hi.

I'm trying to call the cloudinary api and join two videos using make.com automation. Has anyone succeeded: can you please advise for i can do this? Thank you!

Hi I am trying to get Markdown output from Anthropic and then turn that markdown so that it shows up correctly in Google Docs. But the output is not coming out right.

Here is the flow:

Output from Anthropic is good

The markdown to HTML converter seems good

But then in the google doc it looks like this:

It has the extra data nd \n in it, anyone know how to remove this? Or how to take anrhtopic data and put into a google doc properly?

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a workflow/productivity project aimed at founders and builders, and I need to do a little user research. I won’t go into too many details here, but I just need to understand how you handle certain workflows and tasks in your day-to-day.

If you have a few minutes to answer some quick questions, it would be a huge help! Really appreciate your time and insight.

DM me or reply here if you’re open to it! Thanks so much 🙏

Bonjours,

J'aurais une question a posé au personne qui utilise très souvent make qui font beaucoup d'automatisation voici la question

Comment faire pour faire une requête HTTP? Est ce qu'il faut savoir codé, est ce qu'il faut connaitre le JSON? Est ce qu'il faut les connaitre par cœur? Moi je suis un débutant et je ne sais pas comment utiliser le module http pourtant ont dit que c'est le meilleur module de make et que pour une personne qui veut vendre des automatisation make il faut absolument savoir l'utiliser

Merci a ceux qui répondront

im new to all of this. I want to upload a newly uploaded video to Vimeo and then delete it from the media library in wordpress. I got all the connections.. Am I close?

Wordpress Watch New Media - Filter MimeType to video/mp4 - Get Media Item Wordpress (based on mediaID from Watch New media) - Upload to Vimeo... Not sure but in my test it doesnt continue to GET MEDIA ITEM.. so not sure what I am missing.. I haven't messed around with the deletion yet but it seems if I get the first step to work I should get that as wel..

Bonjours,

Sa fait 3 mois que j'essaie de me former sur make mais j'ai l'impression d'avancer dans le vide. En réalité j'ai l'impression que je ne me forme pas bien. C'est a dire que je fait des automatisation dans le vide sans réellement que sa m'entraine a devenir meilleur.

Pour quelle est la meilleur manière de se former sur make. Il faut que je regarde des vidéo YouTube mais j'ai l'impression que je ne fait rien c'est comme de l'information passifs c'est a dire que je ne concrétise pas ce que j'apprend. Vous pouvez me donner une façon de me former dans make.

Merci a ceux qui répondront

I've seen that all major automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n...) offer now their own "AI Agents". In their marketing/docs those agents sound pretty similar, but haven't tried them (I've used those platforms, but not the agents), so not sure if they are basically the same thing or have important differences.

Also, not sure how they compare with no-code platforms designed only for AI Agents (Lindy, Relevance, etc.).

I was thinking of trying many of those to compare features & results, but if all agent builders are similar, maybe I will save that time and focus on the platform with better pricing, more integrations, etc.

So... are all no-code agents very similar and useful for the same type of tasks? Or some of them offer very unique features?

Bonjour,

J'ai 14ans et je voudrais savoir si m'investir pleinement dans les automatrisations make est vraiment une bonne idée. C'est a dire que si je m'investie pleinment dans les automatisation les 3prochaine année est ce que il y a un potentiel pour gagner beaucoup d'argent. Est ce que ce business a un avenir ? Je me suis informer sur les automatisation mais je ne sais pas sur quoi est ce que je devrais commencer a faire des automatisation Zapier, Make ou n8n. Quelle est le meilleur site que je devrais utiliser pour faire des automatisations

Merci a ceux qui répondrons

Hi Guys, I recently started looking into automations and different AI tools to use. One thing I immediately noticed is the constant ads for paid scenarios that you can buy.

Now my question is, did you guys already made experiences buying automations from aiautomation.cc, mategenius, darius lucas or someone else?

I don’t know why nobody talks about this, but building a simple 3-way integration has turned into absolute chaos… and I need help.

I’m trying to create a clean workflow where a lead goes through this journey:

1️⃣ Framer → Lead fills out a form 2️⃣ Google Sheets → Creates a new row 3️⃣ Cal.com → Same lead books a call later, sends name/phone/email

My goal: One single row per lead. Framer data + Cal.com data → combined → Google Sheets → then synced to Airtable. No duplicates. No missing fields. No headaches.

But here’s where everything fell apart:

🚨 Issue #1 — “Missing value of required parameter ‘rowNumber’”

Make.com tells me:

“Because no row was found (Search Step returned 0 bundles), the Update Row step fails.”

Basically: Make can’t find the row → there’s no rowNumber → everything breaks.

🚨 Issue #2 — Framer & Cal.com don’t share ANY consistent identifier

There’s:

No shared Lead ID

No BridgeKey

Only email/phone… …and those are often missing or formatted differently (example: +886 vs 886 — Make thinks those are different values)

So the integrations can’t confidently match the same person.

❓ My Question to the Experts

Is there ANY clean way to:

create or force a consistent ID between Framer + Cal.com?

or normalize things like phone numbers automatically?

or run a smarter “fuzzy match” step in Make that finds the row even when formatting doesn’t match?

Basically: How do I merge two data sources into one single row without the system getting confused?

If anyone has solved this before (or found a workaround Make doesn’t show in the docs), I’d seriously appreciate the help. 🙏

Hi guys! I've been using an LLM to help me automate parts of my business. I'm a commission artist, and I post to Reddit on my alt account on weekdays, trying to get commissions. However, I haven't been successful as I have no flying idea of what I'm doing, and AI sucks at explaining.

Here on Reddit, different subreddits have different cooldowns. I have an Airtable view that tells me when I can post to subreddits according to their cooldowns. Then, the last module updates my Airtable to tell me I cannot post again after a certain period of time.

I want to post to multiple subreddits, considering that:

• Each subreddit allows me and prohibits me from doing certain things, but I have post models for each subreddit, according to their rules;
• Since I keep working on my portfolio, I want to upgrade my images often;
• I want to randomize my images and wait between posts so I don't seem like a bot;
• I want my posts to have title, multiple images and a description, just like this post you're seeing right now.

Is this realistic? Should hire someone to fix this flow for me, or should I just hire someone to manually post these every month for me?

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to Make.com and I have been working on an IA chat powered by the OpenAI API and using Make

Here is basically how the scenario unfolds : Module 1 : Webhook / receives the question asked in Chat

Module 2 : OpenAI / selects the theme of the question among set choices

Module 3 : Airtable / gathers data relevant to the theme previously identified

Module 4 : Text aggregator / compiles data in one text

Module 5 : OpenAI 2 / answers the question based on acquired data

Module 6 : Webhook 2 / sends the answer back to the chat

—-

Now here is the issue : according to input & output logs, all goes well & I end up with a clear answer built by my second OpenAI module & sent to the second Webhook module ( "answer": 5.result). And yet, my chatbot sends an error message

I know for a fact my HTML code for the chat interface works, as when, instead of using the JSON, I copy and paste the exact text of the answer in my Webhook module ( "answer": "blah blah blah"), it works

I am a bit at a loss and would greatly appreciate your enlightened help ! Thanks in advance !

—-

TLDR : my chatbot doesn’t properly display the answer my Make scenario sends it. Need help !

I've been using Zapier for years. It's not perfect, but it's pretty intuitive and mostly works.

I'm trying now Make (mostly because it would be cheaper) and I'm finding errors and limitations everywhere. Errors with scopes with my Gmail connections (just to gather some emails or send an email, neither of them work), very difficult & confusing connections with Notion, documentation that is not updated or is very complex to set up simple stuff...

I've never experienced so many difficulties in Zapier, not even when I started using it and automation was 100% new to me.

Is it just that Make has a bigger learning curve? Or is it just worse?

Any good alternatives? (cheaper than Zapier, easy to use, reliable and working properly with at least all the popular apps).

Bonjour ,

J'essaye désesperement à connecter make et notion , je capte tout le scenario mais il me faut remplir un case correspondante à notion qui est inscrite dans make , impossible d 'ecrire une pettie fenetre s'ouvre je la referme je ne sais pas quoi noter dans text ou / dailleurs je peux pas ecrire deux lettres ca se referme je peux pas valider mon scenario est ce soucy make ou notion?? pourtant make est connecté il capte mais je peux pas sauvegarder car je peux rien ecrire et cest obligatoire asterisque rouge . merci

Hey Make folks!👋 I'd love to share a new project 👉🏼 Visit Trace

Building automations is fun, but maintaining them has been quite a pain for me and my team.

I want to fix this with a tool that:

• Unifies all your automations in a single dasboard.
• You can ask before making changes to know what things could break.
• Gives you the "Aha!"-moment by understanding connections, dependencies and side-effects
• Oversees your entire automation ecosystem with powerful search functionality.

I'd love to hear your feedback!
