Hi All!
I’m looking to get Meta Results (Facebook/Instagram) into Clickup tasks and write the custom fields with the likes/views/shares/saves.
It seems like i’m having quite a bit of difficulty doing so!
I’m trying to get the tasks to match up as per their airing dates.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the Make community!
We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.
It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.
Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!
To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).
Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.
Method 1: Type code fence manually —
Add three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,
```
text goes here
```
Method 2: Highlight and click the “preformatted text” button in the editor —
Method 3: Upload your file and share the public link —
(this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
Hey Sean,
which part are you struggling with? Not finding the correct tasks to update or something else?
I’m struggling with matching the ClickUp tasks by their airing date from Metricool (linked to Meta) and then updating the corresponding custom fields in ClickUp.
The filter step (“Match IG Task”) isn’t recognising any matching tasks, even though there are tasks with the correct airing dates and content types in ClickUp.
I’ve attached the blueprint for reference.
Empty integration.blueprint.json (533.5 KB)
Can you show what the filter looks like? Clickup usually returns dates in UNIX timestamp, make sure you are matching dates with the same formats.
Ok the top one is wrong. What you have is a text string and not the format date function. And what you are comparing it with is also a text string and not a date.
Try selecting the function from the menu instead of copy pasting it from somewhere.
There is no such thing as a convertTimezone function, only a parseDate function with an optional timezone parameter.
Try typing in a / character in the field to autocomplete from available functions, or use the variables panel to select date functions from the date tab.
I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. 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 —

Can you please clarify what function I should be using?
You’re help is much appreciated.
The parseDate() and formatDate() functions.
