Super helpful! Especially the part about how to upload a twitter image, thanks!

[@majorkeysman9827]

Thank a lot man, the google drive connection was not easy though. I had to connect to google cloud and enable API. I think that was the main pain point.Overall very good work around for uploading the image. Most youtube videos skip this step

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

You're welcome! I assume you were using a personal Google account rather than Google Workspace? These are a pain to connect. I'll make a note of this when mentioning Google modules within Make in future videos as that could have been clarified in this video. Thanks for the feedback!

[@majorkeysman9827]

@@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators Yes , was using my personal gmail account. Its a pain in the axx to configure. Will try using google workspace if that simplifies the process. I loved the workflow and would like to replicate it on other campaigns.

Thanks bro

[@GoranBackmanMusic]

Thanks! Is there a way to pick a random image from inside a specific folder? It seems the image links are hardcoded here.

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

Hey. Yep, that's possible. You'd need to use the "Google Drive Search for Files / Folders" module - and select the folder (choose the number of total results - e.g. 10). Then have an array aggregator to aggreate all of those bundles into an array. Then set a variable to create a random number (somethink like this {{round(random * 10)}} - then set a variable to retrive the random array item file id. then you could pass that to Twitter

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

here's another formula for picking a random number between two numbers ... {{floor(random * (1.max - 1.min + 1)) + 1.min}}

I got this error: [403] Forbidden: You are not permitted to perform this action. in the sole text post with the V6 (anyway I have checked several times that everything is correct, both v5 and v6, just don't go through) IDK...

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

Hmm... Not sure tbh. 403 errors often are as a result of not having high enough access privileges for a task. Not sure what the issue is there if you've followed all the steps. Have you tried to regenerate your keys?

[@facundomcampos]

​@@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators Yes, I tried it, and it turns out the issue was simply that the text exceeded the 280-character limit. My mistake! Once I fixed that, everything worked smoothly.

[@Ss.Crypto]

instead of google sheets, can we use rss feeds..? so we don't need to do anything manually..?

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

Yeah for sure - either via the built-in RSS module in make.com or via a service like RSS.app - Daniel went through some more advanced scenarios using RSS feeds in these videos on our main channel (they are different use cases but you'll get the idea): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmOwfGCujqyGh9k and kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX68c3qonrqFqJY

[@on.this.day.history]

Hey, thanks for the video. I've done exactly what you (at least I think so) but after paste my API key and API key secret and log into my account, it just loads forever or it responds with "401". Do you know what might be the problem? thanks again

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

Hey, 401 is an unauthorized error. That might be caused by a bunch of different reasons. Have you tried to regenerate your keys? Are you definitely logging into the correct Twitter account associated with those keys?

[@on.this.day.history]

​@@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators Yes I've done that, I started multiple times from scratch. Do I need to upgrade my X API account? I am currently on the free plan

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

No you should be able to do all this with a free account. Are you getting a 401 error for both Twitter modules in Make.com (The newer module as well as the older v5 one?)

[@johnclemente5850]

Watching the video I have a few ideas, but dont understand how this is an automation. It doesn't create the post text, does not create the video using AI, etc. You have to manually do everything...Saves no time.

[@DeepDiveWithTheAIAutomators]

Hi John, check out our main channel if you're looking for full end-to-end automations: www.youtube.com/@TheAIAutomators . This video you're watching is specifically a deep dive into setting up a Twitter connection within Make because lots of people struggle with this (understandably so, it's not very intuitive).
