Help us improve Sharing in Make

[Ondrej_Chrastecky]

Hello, I am Ondrej, product manager here at Make. My team is currently looking into improving how you can share your automations with your teammates, clients, or outside of Make in general.

We would love to hear about what you are sharing and how, and what can we improve in that regard. We also have some prototypes we’d like to hear your thoughts on!

If this sounds interesting, feel free to book a 45 minute chat with me in the following link, or let us know in directly in the thread

Fyi, I won’t be reachable next week, but you can use this link, my designer collegue will chat with you instead:

Welcome to the Make Community!

Please make module notes exportable/importable together with scenario blueprints! It is usually used for documentation, and links to external services used (e.g.: regex101 for a text parser, link to open Google sheets/docs, files, etc.).

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

Thanks @samliew!

Yes, notes are definitely an important shareable part of any solution.

You can actually already export / import notes with blueprints today! It came as an update together with the Notes update earlier this year, though now I see the export / import functionality wasn’t explicitly mentioned in the release notes.

Give it a go, and feel free to let us know if you’d have any other expectations regarding notes or sharing in general - any input is appreciated.

I am a user from China. There is a product in China called Coze.com. I think Coze’s user experience is not as good as make.com’s, but I highly recommend that the Make official team investigate some of the designs of this product, as many aspects are worth learning from.

Thank you @Rico , we will check it out!
Is there something you would especially highlight when it comes to Coze.com, that you think they are doing really well or that you miss on Make.com? Especially when it comes to sharing?

[Rico]

I believe there are several aspects of Coze that are worth studying, especially the Chinese version, coze.cn:

First, Coze provides a front-end page for users. Developers can make their constructed workflows directly available to users through this front-end, without users even needing to copy the developer’s workflow. This can be understood as having a web-based interface for AI Agents, similar to Make.com, allowing developers to configure it as their own web application, which users can then access and use through a web browser.

Secondly, this web application has additional capabilities, such as accessing knowledge bases and databases, possessing memory capabilities, or directly utilizing applications within the Make ecosystem to complete tasks. It’s a more user-friendly agent.

Especially with the Chinese version, coze.cn, it even supports developers building their own websites with a high degree of freedom based on the capabilities provided by Coze, enabling commercialization!

The automation-related product development in the Chinese market has been very rapid in the past two years, and Coze is one of the most important to pay attention to. It’s a product developed by the parent company of the Chinese version of TikTok.

Our team has always believed that Make.com is a better product than coze.cn. Our team has been working hard to convert more applications commonly used by Chinese users into custom apps for Make.com.

We have achieved some results and have built a web platform that can implement some of the functions I mentioned above. For example, developers can publish their developed Make.com automations to our platform and allow users to use them directly, thus avoiding sharing their blueprint files, especially since it’s not easy for Chinese users to register for a Make.com account.

China is a very large automation market. Basically, many people know about coze.cn but are unaware of the better Make.com. I strongly recommend that the Make.com official team pay attention to the Chinese market and pay attention to our team.

Thank you @Rico for such a thorough walk-through! You mentioned some good points. We will take a look at Coze a bit more closely.
