I thought I understood automation. Then I spent 21 hours learning Make.com āand realized I was just scratching the surface.
For the longest time, I underestimated tools like Make.com.
I thought automation was just about connecting apps or saving a few clicks here and there.
But after diving into Make.com for 21 hours (yes, I tracked it),
Iāve realized how much more there is to it.
Hereās what Iāve learned so far:
1ļøā£ Itās Not Just AutomationāItās Creative Problem-Solving
At first, I expected Make.com to be another plug-and-play tool.
Instead, it feels like building something custom to fit my workflow.
You can connect apps in ways I didnāt even know were possibleāautomating tasks I never thought I could streamline.
2ļøā£ The Visual Interface Changes Everything
Honestly, the visual workflows are a game changer.
Being able to see how each app, trigger, and action connects has helped me understand my own processes better.
Itās like untangling a ball of string and finally seeing where everything fits.
3ļøā£ The More You Dive In, The More You See the Potential
I started with small thingsālike syncing data across tools.
But now Iām thinking about automating entire systems, from client onboarding to follow-ups.
And the best part?
It feels like thereās no ceiling to what I can build.
My Takeaway?
I used to think automation was just a productivity hack.
Now, I see it as a way to completely rethink how I work.
21 hours in, and Iām still only scratching the surface of what Make.com can do.
What about you?
If youāve used Make.comāor any automation toolāwhatās the coolest workflow youāve built?
Iād love to hear how others are using this to save time and solve problems.
