Workflow
Suggested implementation: A Health & Supplements brand uses Make.com to automate social posting. The workflow triggers when a Google Sheet row is updated with caption, image URL, and date. Make.com retrieves the image from Drive and posts to Instagram and Pinterest at the scheduled time, then marks the row as 'Posted'. Human involvement is limited to initial setup and ongoing data entry in the sheet.
Reported result
The source claims 100% posting consistency, a 34% increase in Instagram reach, and 1.7k monthly Pinterest visitors after 30 days. It also states the client scaled from 30 to 90 posts/month without adding headcount. These metrics are self-reported by the author and lack independent verification or baseline data details.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include active Instagram Business and Pinterest Business accounts with API access, plus a Make.com subscription. The workflow relies on stable Google Drive and Sheet connectivity. Source reliability is low as it is a promotional post without technical logs. Human approval is required before publishing to ensure brand safety and compliance.
Try it
Act as a Make.com automation specialist. I need to build a social posting engine for [replaceable: Client Name/Industry]. Inputs: A Google Sheet with columns for Caption, Image URL, and Publish Date; a connected Google Drive folder; and authenticated Instagram and Pinterest accounts. Steps: 1. Create a Make.com scenario triggered by Google Sheets 'Watch Rows'. 2. Filter for rows where Status is 'Pending' and Date is today. 3. Use Google Drive module to fetch the image. 4. Use Instagram and Pinterest modules to post the content. 5. Update the Sheet row to 'Posted'. 6. Add a Slack notification step for human review before the final post action. Deliverables: A JSON export of the scenario and a test log. Success metric: One sample post successfully publishes to both platforms after human approval. Handle errors by logging failed posts to a separate 'Errors' sheet. Do not publish real content until I confirm the dry run.
