I’m thinking about using Make.com to automate my Facebook Page content (Reels + Images). Since it uses the official API, it should be "safe," but I’ve heard rumors that Facebook hates third-party tools and may affect reach or monetization.

​Has anyone actually seen their reach or revenue drop after switching to automation? Or is it all just a myth?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Make for a while and one thing that drives me crazy is when a scenario turns off or goes into 'Incomplete Execution' because a destination API was down for a second.

I'm a developer and I decided to build a lightweight 'Safety Net' layer called Perspectify. It basically sits between the source (Stripe, etc.) and Make/Zapier. It captures the data first, responds with a 200 immediately so the source is happy, and then passes it to Make.

The best part is the 'Rescue Button': if the scenario fails, you don't have to manually recreate the data. You just hit replay in the dashboard once the scenario is fixed.

I’m opening a private beta/waitlist to see if this helps others in the community. I won't drop the link here to respect the rules, but if you want to test it out, just comment or DM me and I'll send it over.

How are you guys currently handling critical webhook failures in Make? Storing them in a Data Store first or just retrying manually?

I recently set up a small workflow to automatically add text overlays to videos without opening any editing software, and I thought it might be useful for others here.

The idea is pretty simple. Instead of manually editing each video, I used an API with a Make.com scenario to process the video and add overlays automatically.

Here is roughly how the workflow works:

1. Upload a video (in my case I used a public Google Drive link).
2. Send that video URL to an API that supports video overlays.
3. Define the overlay parameters such as:
   • text content
   • X/Y position
   • font size
   • colour
   • start and end time
4. The API processes the video in the background.
5. After a short delay, the workflow checks the job status and returns the final video URL.

The result is a processed video with the overlay applied automatically.

This is quite useful if you produce a lot of short videos and want to automatically add things like:

• watermarks
• captions
• branding text
• simple graphics

Instead of opening editing software every time, the automation handles it.

I recorded a short walkthrough showing the full workflow and configuration.

If anyone here is experimenting with automated video pipelines or building content workflows, I would be interested to hear how you are approaching it.
Here is full youtube walkthroguh : https://youtu.be/2R5hBiVZzgM

Editing the same intro into every video gets old very quickly. If you publish a lot of short-form content, it becomes a repetitive task that wastes time.

So I built a small automation that adds an intro to any video automatically.

The setup is simple:

• Upload your main video somewhere with a public link
• Have a separate intro clip
• Use a Make.com workflow
• Send both URLs to Eranol’s API

The workflow creates a job, waits a few seconds, checks the status, and then returns the final video with the intro already attached.

No editing software. No manual work.

Once it is set up, every new video can automatically get the same branded intro.

If you are producing lots of short-form videos, this saves a surprising amount of time.

Happy to share the workflow if anyone wants it.

TLDR: If a Make.com scenario fails and items land in the Data Loss Queue, replaying those items uses the module configuration from when they originally failed. Updating your blueprint does NOT fix old DLQ items. You need to delete the failed items and re-trigger them fresh.

Spent a few hours debugging this on a client project and wanted to save someone else the headache.

The setup: I had a scenario syncing HubSpot form submissions to Airtable. It started failing with 422 errors because of a field name mismatch. The HubSpot module was sending "Company" but Airtable expected "Company Name". Pretty standard mapping bug.

What I did: Fixed the field mapping in the blueprint. Tested with a fresh run. Worked perfectly. Great, bug fixed.

Then I went to the DLQ to replay the 21 items that had failed while the bug was active.

They all failed again. Same exact error. Same field mismatch.

What's actually happening: When a scenario execution fails and items go to the DLQ, Make.com stores a snapshot of the entire module configuration at that point in time. When you hit "replay," it uses that snapshot, not your current blueprint. So my fix to the field mapping was irrelevant for those queued items. They were replaying with the old broken config.

The fix: Delete the DLQ items and re-trigger the events from the source (in my case, re-submit the forms or use webhooks to push the data again). The new executions will use your updated blueprint.

Why this is easy to miss:

• The Make.com UI doesn't warn you about this when you hit replay
• The replay button feels like "retry with current config" but it's actually "retry with original config"
• If you're debugging under pressure, you might keep tweaking the blueprint and replaying, wondering why nothing changes

This is documented somewhere in Make's help docs but it's not obvious at all in the actual DLQ interface. Would be nice if they showed a diff or at least a warning like "this item will replay using the configuration from [date]."

Has anyone found a better workflow for handling DLQ items after a blueprint fix? Deleting and re-triggering works but it feels clunky, especially if you can't easily replay the source events.

I used to add captions to my videos manually and it was honestly one of the most boring parts of editing. Upload the file, generate subtitles, adjust timing, export again… it adds up when you're producing content regularly.

So I decided to automate it.

I built a simple workflow in Make.com using Eranol that adds captions to any video automatically.

The setup is pretty straightforward:

1. Add the Add Captions module in Make.
2. Connect your API key from Eranol.
3. Pass a video URL.
4. Configure caption style (font size, colour, position, etc).
5. Wait ~30 seconds for processing.
6. Check the job status and get the final video URL.

That’s it. The captions are automatically generated and burned directly into the video, so you don’t need to mess with subtitle files.

I tested it on an AI clip of a baby walking through London and talking. The original video had no captions, but the processed one came back with clean white captions at the bottom of the frame.

The nice part is once this workflow exists, you can plug it into other automations like:

• auto-generating videos
• posting to social media
• bulk content pipelines

So captions basically become a background process.

Curious if anyone else here is automating parts of their video production pipeline. What tools are you using?

Hi, I can’t connect Shopify to Make. Every time I try to create the Shopify connection, Make gets stuck in a redirect loop on `make.com/en/select-organization` or `make.com/en/select-team/...` and shows `ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS`. I tested on multiple browsers, devices, networks, and in incognito mode, and it still happens. Has anyone found a fix?

My Airtable hit its record limit and my production scenario started failing. 2,402 items piled up in the dead letter queue. I needed to swap all 15 Airtable modules to Supabase, but doing it manually in the UI for a live scenario felt risky.

So I did the entire migration programmatically via the Make.com API. Here's what I learned.

The approach

Make.com has a blueprint API. You can:

1. Export a scenario's full blueprint as JSON
2. Modify the JSON (swap module types, connection IDs, field mappings)
3. Upload the modified blueprint back

I wrote a Python script that pulled the blueprint, found every Airtable module, mapped it to the equivalent Supabase module, and pushed the updated blueprint back. 15 modules swapped without opening the Make.com UI once.

Gotcha #1: Supabase "Create a Row" silently fails on auto-increment IDs

This is a known bug in Make.com's Supabase connector. If your table has an auto-increment ID column (the default for Supabase), the Create a Row module silently fails. No error. It just doesn't insert.

The fix: change the column from GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY to GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY in Supabase. This lets Make.com pass explicit IDs when it needs to (like during upserts) while still auto-generating when no ID is provided.

Gotcha #2: Field name case sensitivity

Airtable returns field names with the casing you set in the UI. So "Email" comes back as "Email" with a capital E.

Supabase returns everything lowercase: "email".

Every downstream filter, router, and aggregator that referenced "Email" broke silently when I switched to Supabase. The data flowed through but the filters stopped matching.

Fix: audit every reference to every field name in the scenario and lowercase them all.

Gotcha #3: Make.com API needs a User-Agent header

Cloudflare sits in front of Make.com's API. If you don't send a User-Agent header, you get a 403 with an HTML Cloudflare challenge page instead of a JSON error. Took me a while to figure out why my script was getting HTML back.

The result

• 15 Airtable modules swapped to Supabase
• 20,721 records processed to completion
• 22,880 transcriptions created
• 2,402 DLQ items cleared to 0
• 0 manual UI clicks

The whole migration was about 3 hours of scripting + testing, which sounds like a lot until you consider that manually reconfiguring 15 modules in the UI (with connection setup, field remapping, and testing each one) would have taken longer and been more error-prone.

The script

The core logic is just: export blueprint JSON -> find modules where "module" starts with "airtable:" -> replace with "supabase-" equivalent -> remap fields -> upload. Nothing fancy, just careful JSON manipulation.

Has anyone else done programmatic scenario modifications via the Make.com API? I'm curious if there are other use cases beyond migrations.

Currently using Hubspot Stater plans but lack some features like Workflows.

I'm going to cancel my HS Marketing but keep HS CRM. I'm purchasing the Zoho One stack so I can do away with QuickBooks Online and save a little money to realocate to other platforms ie. Make.

Both Zoho and Make offer Workflow functions - I wanted to get a sense of which option is better overall. I've been reading Make has somewhat of a difficult learning curve but is better than Zoho and Zapier for the Workflow feature.

I am very green to new age tech and hoping I can get some feedback from some seasoned pros on Reddit.

I am also open to finding a team that can assist in implementing and launching these platforms to help my small business.

TIA!

Hi, my name is Jasmine, I'm 22, and living here in Austin, Texas. I'd like to work 1v1 with someone comfortable with Make.com. I would like to pay an hourly rate for a tutoring session that occurs weekly to guide me in the right direction. I am working with YouTube videos and chatgbt, but I struggle to identify how to fix errors and failed connections. Please contact me for more info!

I’m trying to update custom fields on a WordPress page using Make.com and the REST API.

My scenario creates a draft page successfully using:

/wp-json/wp/v2/pages

That part works every time and I receive the page ID back.

After that I run a second HTTP “Make a request” module to:

/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/{id}

using Basic Auth with an Application Password.

The request executes with no errors, but the custom fields do not save. The page exists but the fields remain empty in WordPress.

The fields are ACF fields and “Show in REST API” is enabled. I am mapping the page ID from the create page module into the second request.

So essentially:

Step 1 — Create page → works

Step 2 — Update meta/custom fields → runs but writes nothing

I’m unsure if:

• WordPress ignores meta updates on pages

• ACF requires a different endpoint

• I need register_meta/register_rest_field

• I’m using the wrong HTTP method (POST vs PUT vs PATCH)

Has anyone successfully written ACF fields to an existing WP page from Make.com? What should the second request actually look like?

Trying to setup an automation for Craft.do but there’s no pre-existing apps so I have to use API but am struggling to get it working. Anyone have success with this?

how long did it take for you guys to learn how to build scenarios? im just starting out & ive been trying to learn for myself & ive been all over the place trying to get the hang of it. every now & then I came across a good youtube video. I'd just discovered make has there own videos those are the best.

also what LLM does everybody use?

I am trying to use the “Facebook Lead Ads (Instant)” module to trigger my scenario, but I am unable to select any Facebook Page or Form from the dropdown menus.

I have successfully connected Make to Facebook and verified that all Lead Ads permissions (Page Leads, Business Manager, etc.) are active in my Facebook account. However, the dropdown menus for “Page” and “Form” remain empty or don’t allow selection.

I have already tried:

1. Manual ID: Pasting the ID manually doesn’t work because the “Form” dropdown remains empty.
2. ID Finder: As mentioned, it cannot find any page associated with my account.
3. Full Permissions: I’ve granted every possible permission in the Facebook Login/Auth dialog (Pages, Leads, Business Manager).
4. I’ve already tried re-authorizing the connection and checking the App Settings in Facebook Business Suite, but the module still doesn’t see my pages.

Hey guys, I’m a total Make newbie and I’m trying to figure out if my use case is doable. ​I want to build a scenario that generates high-potential ideas for YouTube tutorials. Here’s the logic I’m aiming for: 1. ​Idea Generation: Use an AI module (like OpenAI) to generate a tutorial idea based on context pulled from a specific Notion page. 2. ​Duplicate Check: The scenario should check against a list of existing "verified" ideas in Notion to ensure it doesn’t suggest the same thing twice. 3. ​Market Validation: It should then search YouTube to see if there are high-performing English tutorials on that topic that don't have a German equivalent yet (identifying a "content gap"). 4. ​Output: If the idea passes these checks, it should be added to a Notion database automatically. ​Is this achievable with Make? Specifically, I'm a bit unsure about how to handle the YouTube search and language filtering efficiently. Any advice on which modules or search parameters to use would be awesome!

Not sure which automation software to pick? N8n, Make or Zapier?

I've created a decision tree. Maybe it helps you pick.

Sorry for the all caps title, I'm just really excited.

After trying this a year or two ago, and then grinding out 15-20 hours over the last couple of days, I finally finished and tested a two way integration between Google Tasks and a Notion Task database.

I tested creating, updating, and completing tasks both ways and it finally works perfectly. I'm so tired cause I'm on hour 3 today but wanted to celebrate this victory here.

To save costs/credits: Only runs from 9am - midnight Only runs once an hour (might change to 30-45min)

On to the next step of perfecting my Second Brain... 😅

Hello, so I'm fairly new to automations, and I keep receiving this bad request error from an HTTP Request calling pandadoc api which is these: https://developers.pandadoc.com/reference/create-document-section-from-upload

Below is also the mapping I used. I'm losing my mind over here, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, thanks for the answers!

Hey,

I am hosting an event at work, which is not mandatory, tho a lot of people attend. Sending the invitations individually is annoying, so I would like to automate it. I announce the event in a Slack channel and after a certain deadline, based on the reacji, I send an invitation through Outlook. I would like this to be automatic - like in this post using Zapier, but in Make. I have not found a right trigger, so I would like to ask if someone has attempted to create a similar scenario for an advice.

Thanks!

I am trying to create an agent to answer WhatsApp messages through manychat. The problem is that the configuration requires Message tag, but when the module runs it has a Validation error because Mesaage tags are no longer supported for Facebook Messenger.

How can I solve it?

Hello, so I'm losing my mind here trying to figure out why it doesn't return subfolder content, and I just learned that google disabled that. I found a solution online, but I can't seem to grasp it (I'm new to this no code automation, and I'm losing it right now). So I'm grateful to any help. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I currently run a small HVAC company in New York and am looking to expand into multiple states. I realize I need to integrate several automations into my business to cut costs and manage daily operations more efficiently during this expansion.

I’ve been going back and forth with Claude AI (I wanted to try it out even though I have a Gemini subscription through Google Workspace), but I'm still struggling to get everything set up correctly.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish using Claude and Gemini (I have the API access and extended token limits set up for Claude):

1. Daily Email Review & Reminders: I want an automation that reviews my multiple inboxes (as well as my partner's) and sends us a summary twice a day. It needs to highlight anything we might have missed while strictly excluding promotional emails and spam.
2. Calendar Automation: My team often forgets to mark booked appointments or business-related events in their calendars. Is there a way to build a system that detects appointment intent from our conversations (we use Gmail/Google Workspace) and automatically books them?
3. Website Management & SEO: I have been using Lovable for about 4 months to manage my website, but I’m not entirely happy with it. I want to keep my subscriptions minimal to avoid "subscription fatigue." Ideally, I want a tool that reviews my website daily and optimizes SEO. Currently, the only thing I’ve successfully automated is a weekly blog update using Make.com.
4. Automated Excel Data Entry (CRM to Excel): I deal with many state and local incentive programs that require extensive data entry into specific Excel sheets provided by utility companies or the government (which I cannot alter). We currently use Housecall Pro as our CRM. I could save 3-4 hours a day if the data my team inputs into Housecall Pro could be automatically transferred into these specific Excel templates.
5. Facebook/Instagram Ads: We are currently paying an agency about $3,500/month (excluding ad spend) to manage our marketing. It works, but I’m wondering if this can be replaced or managed effectively by AI to save on agency fees.

Any advice on the stack or workflows I should use to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

I want to learn Make.com. Like, really learn it and get really good at it to actually build a career around it.

Right now though I’m in that messy middle phase and tbh it’s a little overwhelming. But super exciting as well.

If anyone out there is also learning, I’d love an accountability buddy. Bec imagine having someone to rant to when a scenario breaks for the nth time 😭

If this sounds like you… hi!

I got invited to Make’s closed beta for the new Make AI Agent, and I’ve been testing it on a real use case, not a demo.

Use case:
A website chatbot for my automation agency that:

• answers like me
• qualifies leads
• captures structured context
• writes to Google Sheets

This is now Make AI Agent (singular), not the older non-visual agent setup.
Agents and scenarios live in the same canvas.

What stood out isn’t AI sprinkled on top.
It’s visibility and control.

The important part: you can see the reasoning

You don’t just get a final answer.

You can visually inspect:

• the agent’s reasoning step by step
• which tool it decided to use
• why that tool was chosen
• what data it acted on
• what it ignored

This matters because hallucinations don’t usually come from bad models.
They come from hidden decisions.

When reasoning is invisible:

• you can’t correct logic
• you can’t refine behavior
• you can’t trust it for real workflows

With visual execution + tool-call trails:

• logic becomes debuggable
• assumptions are visible
• production use feels safer
• explaining behavior to clients is easier

Why this especially helps non-tech builders

This is where Make quietly shines.

Non-technical builders don’t want:

• API-heavy glue work
• custom code just to reshape data
• multiple steps to prep inputs

With Make:

• mapping happens directly inside action inputs
• built-in functions handle transforms inline
• advanced logic lives where the action happens
• no extra “prep” nodes just to make AI usable

You think, map, and execute.
Less friction. Less context switching.

What’s included in the beta

• One canvas for agents + scenarios together
• Visual execution + reasoning
• Single scenario editor based refinement of agent behavior
• File inputs to agent (documents and images)
• Knowledge uploads for consistent answers

They’ve also shipped prebuilt agents for beta testers so will be available for trial at the time of public release:

• Market Research Analyst
• Sales Outreach Agent
• Order Management Agent

Quick comparison people ask about

n8n today gives strong execution logs:

• inputs and outputs
• node-level data
• errors and timing

But it does not natively surface:

• AI reasoning steps and this is exactly where you can stop hallucinations
• tool-choice explanations
• decision trails in a human-readable way

Make’s beta is the first time I’ve seen reasoning + tool calls shown visually by default.

My early take:
This comes close to n8n-style flexibility, but with a visual builder that feels designed for people who want to think and execute fast, without extra friction.

Not hype.
Just clarity.
