Random sleep timers add small, unpredictable delays between actions in your Make.com scenario. Instead of posting at the exact same time every day, your system behaves more like a real human.
And that matters.
🚨 The Real Problem (Owner Reality)
Social platforms are built to spot patterns.
If your posts:
- Go out at the same minute every day
- Fire instantly after each other
- Follow perfect, robotic timing
You don’t look consistent — you look automated 🤖And automated behavior gets throttled, not rewarded.
✅ What Random Sleep Timers Fix
Adding a random delay (ex: 13–27 seconds) helps:
- ✅ Break predictable posting patterns
- ✅ Mimic real human behavior
- ✅ Reduce the chance of being flagged as “machine-scheduled”
- ✅ Keep reach more stable over time
- ✅ Make automation look natural, not robotic
This is especially important for:
- Facebook
- Instagram
- X / Twitter
- LinkedIn
Consistency is good. Perfect consistency is suspicious.
