Make.com For Marketing
Marketing teams run on data, content, and repetitive workflows — the perfect combination for Make.com automation. From social media scheduling to lead nurturing sequences to content repurposing, Make.com handles the operational work so marketers can focus on strategy and creativity. This guide covers high-value Make.com marketing automations.
Content Distribution Automation
Scenario: Blog post to every channel
The most common content workflow: a new blog post should appear across every channel — LinkedIn, Twitter, email newsletter, internal Slack. Manual cross-posting is time-consuming; automation is the right answer.
- RSS trigger: New post published on your blog (via RSS feed)
- HTTP Request: Fetch the full article HTML
- Claude HTTP (parallel routes):
- LinkedIn post: "Write a 180-word professional LinkedIn post introducing this article to [target audience]. Include a hook, 3 key takeaways, and a CTA to read more." - Twitter thread: "Write a 4-tweet thread on [article title]. Tweet 1: bold claim or surprising stat. Tweets 2-3: key points. Tweet 4: CTA with link." - Email excerpt: "Write a 100-word excerpt for an email newsletter with an engaging first sentence."
- Parallel posting modules:
- Buffer/Publer: schedule LinkedIn post for 10 AM on next business day - Twitter module or Buffer: schedule Twitter thread
- Slack: Post summary to #marketing channel
- Airtable: Log content to content tracker with all generated variants
One article becomes a full multi-channel presence automatically.
Lead Nurturing Automation
Scenario: Content engagement → personalised nurture sequence
- Webhook trigger: User downloads a lead magnet (form submission webhook)
- HubSpot Search Contact: Find or create
- Router: New vs. existing contact
- For new contacts:
- HubSpot Create Contact - Apollo HTTP: Enrich with company data - Claude HTTP: Based on their company and the content they downloaded, determine the best nurture sequence to enroll them in - HubSpot: Enroll in sequence
- For existing contacts:
- HubSpot Update: note the new content engagement - Router: Had no recent activity → re-enroll in appropriate nurture
Social Media Monitoring
Scenario: Brand mention → response workflow
- Schedule trigger: Every hour
- HTTP Request to Brand24/Mention API: Fetch new brand mentions
- Iterator: Process each mention
- Filter: Sentiment analysis filter (Claude or built-in) — only process negative or very positive mentions
- Router:
- Negative mention → Slack alert to community manager with mention details and suggested response - Very positive mention → Add to testimonials Airtable base + thank the person (via Twitter DM)
- Airtable: Log all mentions for reporting
Webinar and Event Automation
Scenario: Webinar registration → nurture and follow-up
- Zoom/Webinar webhook: New registrant
- HubSpot Create/Update Contact: Record registration
- HubSpot Enroll in Sequence: Pre-webinar reminder sequence (24h before, 1h before)
- Post-webinar (triggered by end-of-webinar webhook):
- Attendees: Thank you email with recording link + resource download - No-shows: "Sorry we missed you" with on-demand recording offer - HubSpot: Tag contacts with webinar attended + content topic (for segmentation)
Email Newsletter Pipeline
Scenario: Weekly newsletter creation and sending
- Schedule trigger: Every Thursday at 9 AM (for Friday send)
- Multiple HTTP Requests:
- Fetch new blog posts from this week (RSS) - Fetch top company news from Airtable (internal content board) - Fetch industry news RSS feeds (competitor/industry blogs)
- Claude HTTP: "Summarize these articles into a weekly newsletter with: intro paragraph, 3 featured articles (title + 2-sentence summary), and a closing thought for [audience type]. Our newsletter tone is [describe]."
- Mailchimp/Beehiiv module: Create campaign draft with the generated content
- Slack: Notify marketing manager — "Newsletter draft ready for review in [platform]"
The newsletter content is assembled and drafted automatically. The marketer reviews, personalises if needed, and sends.
Paid Advertising Automation
Scenario: Performance-based budget adjustment alert
- Schedule trigger: Every day at 7 AM
- Google Ads/Meta Ads API HTTP: Fetch campaign performance (CPA, CTR, spend, conversions)
- Filter: Any campaign CPA exceeds target threshold
- Claude HTTP: "Given this campaign data, which campaigns should be scaled up, which should be paused, and why?"
- Slack alert to paid media team: AI analysis + raw data + link to ads dashboard
- Airtable log: Record daily performance metrics
