Create custom event reminders ahead of a call - Amelia WP -> Make -> MailerLite

Hi all,

I am new to Make.com and this is my second scenario as I started using it yesterday, so I do not have a lot of knowledge yet!

For this scenario I am using:

  • Amelia booking plugin in WordPress
  • Make
  • MailerLite

Here is what I created and that is working for now:

  • Client goes to my website
  • He books a call in the Amelia calendar
  • Call is validated
  • I catch the webhook in Make (step 1)
  • I create the subscriber and add all the infos in MailerLite + I assign him to a list in MailerLite so it triggers an automation on there directly (step 2)
  • I add him to different group in MailerLite to trigger automations on there (step 3-4)

Here is what I’m trying to achieve:

  • From this step I am having trouble (step 5-6-7) I’d like to send two reminders (one 25 hours before the call, and one 1 hour before the call)
  • My idea was to take the date from the webhook and turn it into a date readable for Make (I asked ChatGPT for this), put a router so both steps can be triggered at a different time, saying to wait until 25 hours before event, and then final step add the subscriber to a new group in MailerLite to launch an automation on there

What I am doing wrong here ? For now the scenario goes all the way through the end without waiting until 25 and 1 hour before.

Thanks very much in advance!

Welcome to the Make community!

You can have a scenario watch new items and schedule a cron job callback using apps like 0CodeKit that allows you to schedule a “callback” to a URL defined in a “Custom Webhook” trigger in another scenario at the exact time you want

You don’t have to use a data store, this is just an example. You can use Google Sheets, Google Calendar, etc.

Alternatively, if you are already using Airtable, you can use an Airtable formula and built-in automation, briefly mentioned here.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
