Social media autoposting from Notion through Google Drive (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook)

Hello community!

I’m very new to Make.com community but very eager to learn about that platform!

I want to automate the social media posting process (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook).
Here it is the process:

1. Read the database in notion
2. Check for today’s date and scheduling, in case of positive answer I continue in the process (otherwise it will activate the next day)
3. Get all info for the scheduled post (caption, Google Drive link for the content, tags)
4. Download image or video
5. Post on all the platforms requested via filters and routers

I started building a database on Notion with all info (post type, caption and tags)

This is my database:

This is the very beginning of my workflow

Can you give me some advices please?
Filippo

Hi Simo,
thanks for answering so quickly and sorry for my late answer.

The main problem was the connection between Notion and Google Drive: I finally did it with a text parser (Match pattern advanced).

Do you think it’s a good strategy or can I do it in a more efficient way?

Ah yes, if you need to extract the id from a url that’s a good approach. Be aware that you could also implement the “replace” function with REGEX directly in the Google Drive module (hence saving an operation)
