Make Integration Setup

Make (formerly Integromat) lets you build visual automation scenarios that connect SocialRails with hundreds of other apps. Use drag-and-drop modules to schedule posts, generate AI content, pull analytics, and more.

Prerequisites

• A SocialRails account on the Creator plan or above
• A Make account (Free plan works for basic scenarios)
• A SocialRails API key with the appropriate scopes

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Go to your SocialRails Dashboard
2. Click Create Key
3. Name it something like "Make"
4. Select scopes: read, write, and ai for full access
5. Copy the key (it's only shown once!)

Step 2: Add SocialRails to Make

1. Open Make and create a new scenario
2. Click the + button to add a module
3. Search for SocialRails
4. Select the module you want to use

Step 3: Connect Your Account

1. When adding a SocialRails module for the first time, click Create a connection
2. Name the connection (e.g. "My SocialRails Workspace")
3. Paste your API key (starts with sr_live_)
4. Click Save — Make will verify the connection by checking your workspace

Scenario Examples

Content Calendar from Google Sheets

2. SocialRails — Create a Post — use row data for content, platform, and schedule

AI-Powered RSS to Social

Auto-generate and post content when a new article is published:

1. RSS — Watch RSS Feed Items — monitor your blog feed
2. SocialRails — Generate AI Content — prompt: "Summarize for Twitter: {title} - {description}"
3. SocialRails — Create a Post — schedule the generated content

Cross-Platform Publishing

Post to all platforms when content is approved in your CMS:

1. Webhooks — Custom Webhook — receive from your CMS
2. SocialRails — Batch Create Posts — platforms: twitter, linkedin, instagram

Failed Post Alerts

Get an email when any post fails:

1. SocialRails — Watch Post Failed — instant trigger
2. Email — Send an Email — include post ID and error message

Platform Notes

Troubleshooting

• "Connection failed" — Double-check your API key. It should start with sr_live_. Create a new key if needed.
• "API access not available" — Your SocialRails plan must be Creator or above.
• "Insufficient scope" — Your API key needs the right scope (read/write/ai). Create a new key with all needed scopes.
• Scenario stops running — Check your Make plan's operations limit. Free plans have limited operations per month.
• Rate limit errors — Your plan's hourly limit applies to all API usage. Creator: 60/hr, Business: 300/hr, Agency: 1,000/hr.
