How do I automate fb posts that use a different image in a Google drive folder everytime it automatically posts? What format is best for the images (if that maters). It’s my first time using make.com So please explain things step-by-step in a detailed simple way. Thanks in advance.
I have not taken any steps
Welcome to Make, @Rob4;
In getting started, think about the steps you would take to associate an image with the post. Then we translate those to steps in a Make scenario.
Once you can share those steps here, we can proceed.
For example, conceptually, given a Facebook post where any random image suffices, I would read my Google Drive, shuffle the results, then attach the image.
However, as you suspect, things aren’t that simple.
Problems:
So again, think about how you as a person would solve the problem, then write them down for us to work through from very simple to eventually robust.
Welcome to the Make community!
While it is certainly possible, I would suggest completing the Make Academy and learn ths basics before jumping into building such a complicated scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting a request in the Hire a Pro category.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!
