Hey all I’m setting up a social media automation workflow and could use some advice on the image side of things. Right now, I’ve got two content paths running: Path 1: Airtable URL → Extract text from page → Generate post content → Send to Claude for caption → Back into Airtable Path 2: Manual text input in Airtable → Claude creates caption → Back into Airtable I’d love to add image generation to finish the process — but ChatGPT’s image API isn’t free. What’s everyone using for automated image creation? Any good free or low-cost options worth integrating?

Hey all I am building a simple ecommerce order automation with some dummy data that follows the complete customer journey from order placement to delivery notification. Tools Used: - Tally - Customer-facing order form - Make - Automation platform connecting all systems - Airtable - Database with 4 tables (Customers, Products, Orders, Order Items) - Monday.com - Order fulfillment workflow and team task management Ideal Workflow: 1. Customer submits order via Tally form 2. Make processes the order: Checks/creates customer record Validates product availability and stock Creates order and order items records Updates inventory levels Creates fulfillment task in Monday.com Sends confirmation email 3. As order status changes in Monday.com (Packed → Shipped → Delivered), Make updates Airtable and sends status emails to customer Current Issue: Getting a [422] Invalid formula error on the Airtable "Search Records" module (Module 9) when trying to look up products by Product Name. The search condition seems to be creating an invalid formula for Airtable's filtering. At this point I am not even sure if I setup the router correctly, this is my first automation setup! What's the correct way to configure the Airtable Search Records & Create Records Module please??

For the longest time, I was trying different online plays, chasing strategies, and honestly wasting a lot of time and energy without seeing real results. Everything shifted when I connected with an ecommerce business builder who set up a store for me and gave me a strategy that just made sense. Even though I had zero background in ecommerce, I stuck to the process step by step… and in just 7 weeks, the store has already generated £11,000. I’m not sharing this to brag, I know how frustrating it feels to keep trying with no results. I’m sharing because when something actually works, it’s worth passing on. I’d love to hear, who else here has been testing ecommerce + AI automation in their journey? What’s been working for you (or not working)? Let’s trade notes and learn from each other.
