Ensuring Only One Image Posts Per Day from Google Drive

Hello Make.com Community,

We’ve built a Make.com scenario that connects Google Drive to Instagram and Facebook for daily automated posts. Our setup includes Google Sheets to track posted images and prevent duplicates, but the scenario currently posts all images at once instead of just one per day.

We’ve tested various solutions, including an iterator with a break function, but the process never stops and continues posting. We also tried removing the iterator and refining the Google Drive query, but the issue persists.

We need a simple solution to ensure that only one unique image is posted per day. The Google Drive module should fetch one file at a time, and if the file has already been posted (duplicate filename), the process should skip it and check for the next valid image.

How can we structure this flow correctly to ensure only one new image is posted daily?

We’ve attached screenshots of our tested setups and haven’t found a working solution yet—there may be a simpler approach we’re overlooking.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Welcome to the Make community!

You can either move the images out of the folder or delete them after each use, and set the limit (number of results/bundles) in the trigger module to 1.

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