Integrations: How Do I Use the Make Integration?

If you encounter a 401 error code, please reconnect your SocialBee account in your Make connections, under the integration module settings.

SocialBee users can streamline their workflow and save time by automating tasks using Make, an automation platform that requires no coding knowledge.

Definitions šŸ’”

A TriggerĀ is an event that initiates the automation workflow.

An ActionĀ is a specific taskĀ that gets executed as a result of a trigger.

To begin automating tasks with SocialBee and Make, you'll first need to create a Make account.

Create a Workflow Triggered by SocialBee

Make allows you to set up a trigger that activates each time a post is scheduled and shared on SocialBee.

Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps, or scroll down to the written instructions.

Ā 

  1. Log into your Make account and click on Create a New Scenario.
  2. Click the big plus sign to search for SocialBee.
  3. From the list of apps, select SocialBee and choose the trigger Watch Post.
  4. Click on Create a webhook. Provide a name for the webhook* and connect your SocialBee account.
  5. Choose your workspace and social profiles, then click Save.
  6. Click OK to add SocialBee as your Trigger.

*Ā The webhook will automatically install in SocialBee. To make sure everything is configured correctly, go to your SocialBee Dashboard Social Accounts and click on the edit button next to the social profile you have selected in Make.

To complete the automation workflow, you will have to add another modal in this scenario that will perform an Action. For more information on how to do that, check out this article →

Set up an Action Performed by SocialBee

In Make, you can use the Create a Post action to automatically create posts in SocialBee as part of your automation scenarios.

To get started, create a new scenario and select an app as your trigger (šŸ“ List of integrations available in Make).

Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps, or scroll down to the written instructions.

Ā 

  1. Click on Add another module.
  2. From the list of apps, select SocialBee and choose the Create a Post action.
  3. If your SocialBee account is not already connected to Make, you will be prompted to connect it.
  4. Provide the necessary details, such as workspace, social profiles, content category, text, media URL, posting times, expiration time, and approval status (draft or approved).
  5. Click OK to save your action settings.

What about the "Make an API Call" action?

You may also notice a Make an API Call action when selecting SocialBee in Make. This action allows you to make authenticated requests to SocialBee's API through Make.

Since this functionality is managed within Make, we recommend reaching out to Make Support if you need assistance setting it up or troubleshooting any issues.
