Ok Guys, I,ve this automation Concept in mind. I want an image to be picked from Google photos ((album)) take it to discord and then post it to insta and Facebook.
The thing is, I did it already with one image but in my google photos album there are many images, including the one posted by make first time. What I want is that the next time when automation runs, I don’t want it to pick the same image from google photos album, as it is already posted.
Is there a way? Perhaps using ((if)) condition that if the selected image is already used before i want it to return the argument and select another image? Please help.
What you could do is remove the photo from the album after you’ve used it, so that it doesn’t get listed the next time the scenario runs.
To do that you’ll need to use the Google Photos “Make an API Call” module to delete or move the photo.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hey Thankyou so much for your request, can you please assist me how to use this “Make an API Call” module, I am totally lost when it comes to filling up the fields.
If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you should be able to integrate the endpoints in Make using the app’s universal module (Make an API call) or generic HTTP “Make a request” module.
You can also suggest for it to be made in the Idea exchange. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
If you need assistance in setting up the app’s universal module, or the generic HTTP module, please provide additional information about what you have tried with regards to the external service’s Developer API Reference – how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.
You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules
