Hi folks! I’ve been using Make for a one weeks now (still figuring out the basics ). Love how flexible it is, but I’m curious—for smaller projects like automating my blog’s social media posts, would you stick with Make or use something simpler like Zapier?

Pros I’ve noticed:

Make’s visual workflows are chef’s kiss for customization.

Zapier feels quicker for “set and forget” tasks.

Am I missing any hidden gems in Make for simple automations? Or should I just embrace the learning curve?

Sorry mate, but you are on the wrong forum for questions like this. Of course we are going to recommend Make over Zapier for anything.

I suggest checking the nocode or automate subreddits for example or one of the generic automation discord servers.
