The system triggers on events like new blog posts or RSS items, optionally generates captions via AI, and schedules posts for human approval before going live. This allows content creators to streamline their social media workflows without manual intervention.", "body_md": "Want your social posts to publish themselves? With **Make.com** (formerly Integromat) and **SchedPilot**, any trigger — a new blog post, an RSS item, a spreadsheet row, or a form — can automatically draft and schedule posts across all your accounts. This step-by-step guide shows you how, using Make’s HTTP module and SchedPilot’s API. No code required.\n\n## What you’ll build\n\nA single Make **scenario** that:\n\n**Triggers** on an event (RSS, schedule, webhook, or a new spreadsheet row).**Generates a caption** with an AI module (optional).**Schedules the post** to your social accounts through SchedPilot.**Waits for your approval** in your SchedPilot calendar before it goes live.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n| You’ll need | Notes |\n|---|---|\n| A SchedPilot account with API access | API keys are on the\n|\n\n`smm_`\n\n. We’ll grab it in Step 1.## Step 1: Get your SchedPilot API key\n\n[app.schedpilot.com](https://app.schedpilot.com)and open\n\n**API Access**.\n\n`smm_xxxxxxxxxxxx`\n\n.## Step 2: (Optional) Check your connected accounts\n\nBy default, SchedPilot schedules your post to **every connected account**. To see what’s connected — or to target specific accounts later — call the accounts endpoint:\n\n```\nGET https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/accounts\nAuthorization: Bearer smm_your_key\n```\n\nTo scope a post to specific accounts, pass their IDs in your request — see the [create-post reference](https://docs.schedpilot.com/).\n\n## Step 3: Create a scenario & choose a trigger\n\n**Create a new scenario**.\n\n**trigger module** for your use case:\n\n**RSS > Watch RSS feed items**— post every new blog or podcast item.** Schedule**— post daily or weekly at a set time.** Webhooks > Custom webhook**— fire from your app, CMS, or a form.** Google Sheets > Watch rows**— post the next row from a content calendar.\n\n## Step 4: (Optional) Generate a caption with AI\n\nAdd an **OpenAI (ChatGPT) > Create a Completion** module between your trigger and SchedPilot to turn raw input into a ready-to-post caption. A simple prompt:\n\n```\nWrite a short, engaging social media caption for this content.\nKeep it under 280 characters and add 2 relevant hashtags.\n\nContent: {{1.title}} — {{1.description}}\n```\n\nThe generated text becomes the `content`\n\nof your post in the next step.\n\n## Step 5: Add the HTTP module (this posts to SchedPilot)\n\nThis is the core of the scenario. Add an **HTTP > Make a request** module and configure it:\n\n| Field | Value |\n|---|---|\n| URL | `https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post` |\n| Method | `POST` |\n| Headers | `Authorization: Bearer smm_your_key` `Content-Type: application/json` |\n| Body type | Raw |\n| Content type | JSON (application/json) |\n\nIn the **Request content** field, paste this JSON and map values from earlier modules using Make’s `{{...}}`\n\ntokens:\n\n```\n{\n  \"content\": \"{{2.result}}\",\n  \"date\": \"2026-07-15\",\n  \"time\": \"09:00\",\n  \"timezone\": \"America/New_York\"\n}\n```\n\n**Field reference:**\n\n`content`\n\nis your post text. `date`\n\n(YYYY-MM-DD) and `time`\n\n(HH:mm) set the schedule; add an optional `timezone`\n\n. To publish immediately instead, send `\"post_instant\": true`\n\n. You can also attach media (`attachments`\n\n) and add an X reply thread (`replies`\n\n).For a dynamic time (e.g. “tomorrow at 9am”), calculate the date with Make’s `formatDate`\n\n/ `addDays`\n\nfunctions and map it into the `date`\n\nfield.\n\n### What SchedPilot returns\n\nA successful call returns `202 Accepted`\n\nwith the scheduled post details:\n\n```\n{\n  \"post_id\": 8791,\n  \"status\": \"scheduled\",\n  \"scheduled_date\": \"2026-07-15 09:00:00\",\n  \"accounts\": 4,\n  \"media\": 0,\n  \"replies\": 0\n}\n```\n\n## Step 6: Keep a human approval step\n\nLetting automation publish unchecked is risky. Two easy safeguards:\n\n**Built-in:** Every post created through SchedPilot lands in your**calendar for approval** before it publishes — so you always get the final say.**Optional:** Add a**Slack** or**Email** module after the HTTP module to notify you (or a teammate) that a new post is queued for review.\n\n## Step 7: Test, then turn it on\n\n**Run once** and confirm the HTTP module returns\n\n`202`\n\n.**ON** and set its schedule. Your social posting now runs on autopilot.\n\n## Scenarios you can build today\n\n**Blog → social:** RSS → AI caption → SchedPilot. Every new article auto-posts to X, LinkedIn & Threads.**Content calendar:** Google Sheets → SchedPilot. Schedule a month of posts from a spreadsheet.**Product launches:** Webhook from your app → SchedPilot. A new release announces itself.**Evergreen recycling:** Schedule → pick a past post → SchedPilot. Keep channels active automatically.**Form to post:** Typeform → AI caption → SchedPilot.\n\n## Bonus: close the loop with webhooks\n\nWant Make to know when a post actually publishes (or fails)? Create a **Webhooks > Custom webhook** module in a second scenario and register its URL in SchedPilot under **API Access → Webhooks**. SchedPilot will send a `post.published`\n\nor `post.failed`\n\nevent so you can log results, alert Slack, or retry.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n## Is there a SchedPilot module or app for Make.com?\n\nYou don’t need one — SchedPilot works with Make’s built-in HTTP module calling the REST API, so there’s nothing extra to install.\n\n## Do I need to know how to code?\n\nNo. Everything is built with Make’s visual modules. The only “code” is a small JSON body you copy from this guide.\n\n## Which SchedPilot plan includes API access?\n\nAPI keys are available on the Platinum plan. See [pricing](https://schedpilot.com/pricing/) for details.\n\n## Which platforms can I post to?\n\nSchedPilot supports 9 networks: Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Bluesky.\n\n## Make.com, n8n, or Zapier — which should I use?\n\nAll three work the same way with SchedPilot’s HTTP/REST API. Pick the one you already use. Prefer open-source and self-hosting? Try our [n8n guide](https://schedpilot.com/blog/automate-social-media-with-n8n/).\n\n## Can I review posts before they publish?\n\nYes. Every scheduled post waits in your SchedPilot calendar for approval, and you can add a Slack or email notification in Make.\n\n### Automate your social media the smart way\n\nConnect Make.com to SchedPilot and let your scenarios post across every network — with you in control.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/automate-social-media-with-make-com", "canonical_source": "https://schedpilot.com/automate-social-media-with-make-com/", "published_at": "2026-07-07 06:30:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-08 01:29:09.896117+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Make.com", "SchedPilot", "OpenAI", "ChatGPT", "Slack", "Google Sheets"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/automate-social-media-with-make-com", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/automate-social-media-with-make-com.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/automate-social-media-with-make-com.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/automate-social-media-with-make-com.jsonld"}}
