Core Workflow Overview in Make.com

The overall idea is to use make.com to watch for new TikTok videos, store them centrally, then transform and route them to different platforms. At a high level, the scenario does this:

1. Detects or receives a TikTok video.
2. Downloads and stores the video in cloud storage.
3. Optionally resizes or reformats the content.
4. Prepares captions and descriptions.
5. Publishes or schedules posts on other platforms.

You can adjust each step in make.com depending on which apps and channels you use most often.

Step 1: Capture or Import TikTok Videos into Make.com

The first step is to ensure your TikTok content flows into make.com automatically or with minimal manual work.

Option A: Use a Trigger for New Videos on Make.com

If you use a connector or tool that exposes new TikTok posts, you can configure make.com to react when new content is published.

The typical approach is:

1. In the make.com scenario builder, add a trigger module that watches for new TikTok videos or new entries in a connected system that logs your TikTok uploads.
2. Set the interval at which make.com checks for new data (for example, every 5 or 15 minutes).
3. Map the video URL, description, and any hashtags into variables the rest of the scenario can use.

Option B: Manually Add TikTok Links to Make.com

If you prefer more control, you can manually send TikTok URLs into a scenario on make.com:

• Use a form tool, spreadsheet, or database as an input source.
• Paste the TikTok video link and any notes or target platforms.
• Configure make.com to watch this source and start the workflow whenever a new row or record is added.

This gives you a semi-automated process while still keeping all actions organized through make.com.

Step 2: Download and Store TikTok Videos

Once make.com has the TikTok URL or file, the next step is to store it in a reliable location so it can be reused and archived.

Typical actions in your make.com scenario include:

1. Use an HTTP or download module to fetch the TikTok video file, if available.
2. Save it to your chosen cloud storage (for example, Google Drive or Dropbox).
3. Organize videos into folders such as Raw TikTok, Edited Reels, or Shorts.
4. Store metadata like original caption, date posted, and link back to TikTok as custom fields or file properties.

By centralizing your media library with make.com, you avoid losing strong content and can reuse it whenever you plan future campaigns.

Step 3: Reformat Content for Each Platform with Make.com

Different social platforms favor different dimensions, durations, and styles. With make.com, you can automate many of these adjustments.

Resize or Edit Videos Automatically

Depending on the integrations you use, a scenario in make.com might:

• Send the video to a compatible editing or processing service.
• Trim or clip the video to meet platform requirements.
• Convert the aspect ratio if needed for Reels, Shorts, or Stories.
• Overlay text or branding elements using a connected design app.

Make sure you add branching logic in make.com for different destination channels, so each platform receives the right version.

Create Platform-Specific Captions

Repurposing is not just about reusing the same clip. Good results come from tailoring your message for each audience. Within make.com, you can:

• Store a base caption taken from TikTok.
• Add or remove hashtags based on each platform’s best practices.
• Insert platform-specific calls to action, such as asking for comments, shares, or clicks.
• Maintain UTM-tagged links for tracking performance.

The scenario can also generate multiple caption variations, which you can then A/B test manually or programmatically.

Step 4: Publish or Schedule Posts with Make.com

After formatting your TikTok content, you can use make.com to push it out to the platforms you want, either immediately or on a schedule.

Direct Publishing with Connected Apps

In many cases, you can connect social media or scheduling tools directly in make.com. A typical flow is:

1. Send the processed video file to your social media management tool.
2. Map the correct caption, hashtags, and link fields.
3. Specify whether the post should go live right away or be scheduled for a future date and time.
4. Log post IDs or URLs back into a spreadsheet or database for tracking.

This turns make.com into the central hub that keeps your posting calendar consistent.

Stagger Content Across Multiple Channels

Instead of posting everywhere at once, you can design your make.com scenario to stagger posts, for example:

• Day 1: TikTok original.
• Day 3: Instagram Reel and Facebook Reel.
• Day 5: YouTube Short.
• Day 7: LinkedIn native video with a more professional caption.

By using delays and date functions in make.com, you can automate this pattern without manually tracking dates.

Step 5: Track Performance and Optimize in Make.com

After you start repurposing systematically, you want to know which TikTok videos perform best on other channels. Make.com can help you collect and unify analytics data.

You can structure your scenario to:

• Pull view, like, comment, and share counts from various platforms, depending on available integrations.
• Write these metrics into a single spreadsheet or database row per original TikTok video.
• Tag each entry with content type, topic, or hook style.
• Generate simple reports or dashboards fed by the data managed in make.com.

This performance loop lets you double down on themes that work across multiple platforms.
