I want a Make.com automation that:
• detects images uploaded to a Google Drive folder
• reads the wedding name from the folder
• pulls vendor tags from a Google Sheet
• generates a caption using AI
• schedules the post to Instagram using a social media scheduling app

  • potentially posts to Facebook and Pinterest as well.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hey Kevyn,

This is very doable in Make.com, I’ve built similar workflows for automated social media posting :+1:

Flow would look like:
• Watch Google Drive for new uploads
• Extract wedding name from folder
• Pull vendor tags from Google Sheets
• Generate caption with AI (including hashtags + tone)
• Send to a scheduler like Buffer/Later for Instagram (and optionally Facebook & Pinterest)

I can set this up end-to-end, clean and fully automated, with flexibility if you want approvals or direct posting.

I’m ready to start immediately, feel free to reach me at fopefoluwaakinola@gmail.com so we can get this running quickly.

Cheers,
Fopefoluwa

Hello @Kevyn_Cress, welcome to make.com community, I have worked and have experience with Make.com and l will love to collaborate with you on this you can schedule a call Here and you can checkout my upwork profile Here, for my pastworks and certifications

Hey Kevyn, this is a solid use case for Make and definitely doable.

The key is structuring it as a clean pipeline: detect images → extract wedding name → pull vendor tags → generate consistent AI captions → send to a scheduler (Buffer/Later/etc.).

Most issues usually come from inconsistent captions or messy data flow, so getting that part right upfront makes it fully hands-off.

I’ve built similar systems, and once set up properly, it runs smoothly.

You can book a call with me here to discuss this better.

Are you already using a scheduler tool, or still deciding on one?

This is definitely doable in Make.com. I can set up a workflow that detects new images in Google Drive, extracts the wedding name from the folder, pulls vendor tags from Google Sheets, generates captions using AI, and schedules posts to Instagram (with options for Facebook and Pinterest as well).

I’ll make sure the workflow is reliable, structured, and easy to scale for multiple weddings.

Quick question: which scheduling tool are you planning to use for posting?

I am still deciding on a scheduler tool. Any recommendations? Instagram is my main source of inquiries, but I’d like to post to Facebook and potentially Pinterest (using blog posts).

You can still use make.com own scheduler (scheduling the scenario to run every hour/minutes etc)

And posting to FB and Pinterest, ofcourse easily doable.

If you want you can connect with me here for quick 15 min discussion where i can guide you on call.

Hi Kevyn, welcome to the community.

For scheduling, tools like Buffer or Publer tend to work well with Make for this kind of workflow, especially if you want to schedule posts across Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.

The automation you described is definitely achievable. A typical structure would be a trigger watching the Google Drive folder, extracting the wedding name from the folder structure, pulling the vendor tags from Google Sheets, then generating the caption with AI before sending everything to the scheduler for posting.

That way you only need to upload the photos and the rest of the workflow runs automatically.

I have built similar Make automations for content workflows and social posting systems. You can also check some of my work here in my portfolio website.

Feel free to DM me here if you’d like help setting it up or if you want to walk through the workflow.

Best regards,
Folafoluwa Stephen

Hi!

Automating wedding content is a game-changer for saving hours of manual tagging. I’m an automation engineer, and I’ve built several “Content Factories” using Make.com and n8n that handle exactly this kind of multi-channel orchestration.

How I will build your system:

  • Smart Context: I’ll set up the trigger to watch your GDrive, pulling the “Wedding Name” directly from the folder structure to use as the primary AI context.

  • Vendor Tag Mapping: I’ll build a lookup logic in Google Sheets so the automation automatically pulls the correct Instagram handles for the photographer, florist, and venue associated with that specific wedding.

  • AI Copywriting: I’ll prompt GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 to generate engaging, “human-sounding” captions that naturally weave in the wedding story and vendor credits.

  • Multi-Channel Blast: I’ll connect your scheduling app (Buffer, Later, or Metricool) or use the Meta & Pinterest APIs directly to ensure the post hits all platforms simultaneously with optimized formatting for each.

I don’t just connect nodes; I build systems with Error Handling. If a vendor tag is missing in your sheet, the system will ping you on Telegram/Slack instead of posting an empty tag.
