šŸ’” Quick Tutorial

Spend Much Less Time On Mundane Tasks

We created an automated social media system using Make, and itā€™s significantly boosted our teamā€™s efficiency. Seriouslyā€¦ every 10 posts we automate with this process saves us a minimum of 6 hours ā€” freeing up more time for valuable activities like creating videos for you!

Make Automation Tutorial

Thereā€™s too many details to fit everything in this email, so follow along with our video to create your own automation ā€” either by replicating the steps exactly or by modifying the core concepts we outline to create an automation tailored to your needs.

How Our Automation Works

We simply post the URL of a news article into a designated Slack channel (this is our trigger). Then the automation performs a series of tasks that would otherwise require time-consuming manual effort, including:

  • Scraping the article (i.e., extracting data from the articleā€™s HTML code)

  • Converting that code into text, which is then summarized by ChatGPT

  • Creating optimized social media posts from that summary

  • Generating an accompanying image using DALL-E 3

  • Compiling the post information into a Google Sheet for our approval or revision

  • Adding approved posts to our X & LinkedIn pages (follow us!)

Examples of Alternative Automations

Customer Support

  • Trigger: A new support ticket is created

  • Workflow: Analyze the ticket content > categorize the issue > generate an initial response or escalate complex issues to a human agent

Expense Reporting

  • Trigger: Receipt is received in an email attachment

  • Workflow: Extract receipt data > categorize the expense > update a spreadsheet > notify the finance team

E-commerce Order Processing

  • Trigger: A new order is placed

  • Workflow: Extract order details > update inventory database > generate a shipping label > send the customer a confirmation email

Event Management

  • Trigger: A new event is scheduled

  • Workflow: Create event pages on social media channels > send invites > post & send reminders leading up to the event

SUUPPER HELPFUL TIP: Not sure where to start? Just tell ChatGPT or Perplexity what you want automated, and ask it to write a detailed, step-by-step tutorial for setting up your desired automation in Make.
