What you can automate

What can the BulkPublish Make integration do for you?

The BulkPublish Make integration links your BulkPublish account to Make, a no-code tool where you chain modules into a scenario (the automation you build). You get 16 modules to create, publish, edit and delete posts, handle media and labels, and read metrics, all without writing code.

Posts ready before anyone opens BulkPublish. An approved line in your content calendar, living in another app, feeds Create a post, then Publish a post sends it out. The team only writes the copy once.

A report that fills itself. List posts pulls your posts, Get post metrics reads the numbers of each one, and the result lands in the sheet or chat your team already reads. Get analytics summary gives the overview when you need a single figure.

Clean media and labels. Upload media stores the visual before the post needs it, and Create a label or Delete a label keeps your tagging tidy as campaigns change.

Two limits to know. BulkPublish has no trigger in Make, so a scenario starts on a schedule or on an event from another app. And Make itself says its BulkPublish documentation is limited, so test each module with real data before you rely on it; the Make troubleshooting guide helps when a run fails. Wondering about the other big no-code option? Our n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and Make pricing explains what your plan counts.

Connect

How do you connect BulkPublish to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a BulkPublish module

    In your scenario, add any BulkPublish module, for example List channels, then click Create a connection. A connection is your BulkPublish account linked to Make once, then reused by every BulkPublish module.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    This step is optional, but a clear name such as your brand or client saves confusion later, when you run several BulkPublish accounts side by side in the same Make organization.

  3. 03

    Authorize and save

    Either approve Make on the BulkPublish page that opens, or paste the key BulkPublish gives you, depending on what the window asks. Then click Save, and Make can read your account.

First scenario

Your first scenario with BulkPublish

GoalWhen a post is approved in another app, Make creates it in BulkPublish and publishes it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app where your approved posts live, since BulkPublish has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Create a post

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search BulkPublish and choose Create a post. Link your account with Create a connection, then map the text coming from the previous module.

  3. 03

    Chain Publish a post

    Add Publish a post after it and map the post that Create a post just returned. Each bundle, meaning one item passing between modules, becomes one post sent out.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time, then open each module to read the bundles it received. Check the post in BulkPublish before going further.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario) and switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What each BulkPublish module does

BulkPublish gives you 16 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

BulkPublish1

Create a label

ActionIn the docs only

This module adds a new label to your BulkPublish account, so your posts get a tag you can sort and filter on later without doing it by hand.

When to use it
a new campaign or client starts in your project tool and you want its label to exist before the first post arrives.
Watch out
run List labels first if the label may already exist, to avoid near-duplicates.
BulkPublish2

Create a post

ActionIn the docs only

You get a post written into BulkPublish from data that lives elsewhere, a form, a sheet or a content tool, with no copy and paste between tabs.

When to use it
a caption gets approved in your editorial calendar and should become a real post right away.
Watch out
creating a post and sending it out are two separate modules here; chain Publish a post when you want it live.
BulkPublish3

Delete a label

ActionIn the docs only

Removes a label from BulkPublish, which keeps your list of tags short once a campaign or a client is over.

When to use it
a project gets archived in your management tool and its label no longer serves any filter.
Watch out
the doc says nothing about restoring a deleted label, so treat it as final and test it with Run once on a throwaway label first.
BulkPublish4

Delete a post

ActionIn the docs only

Takes a post out of BulkPublish for you, handy when content gets pulled after a legal or brand review somewhere else.

When to use it
someone marks a planned post as cancelled in your calendar and it must disappear from the queue too.
Watch out
the doc mentions no way to restore it, so treat the deletion as final. Map the post identifier carefully, ideally from Search post, never from a guess.
BulkPublish5

Delete media

ActionIn the docs only

This one clears a file you uploaded to BulkPublish, which keeps your media library from filling up with visuals nobody will reuse.

When to use it
a visual gets rejected during review and you want the stored copy gone as well.
Watch out
check that no scheduled post still relies on the file first; the doc mentions no way to get it back.
BulkPublish6

Get analytics summary

ActionIn the docs only

Returns an overview of your BulkPublish analytics in one pass, so you can send the big picture to a sheet, a dashboard or a chat message.

When to use it
a manager wants the overall picture after a launch, not a post-by-post breakdown.
Watch out
the Make documentation does not describe which figures come back, so run it once and read the bundle before mapping anything.
BulkPublish7

Get post metrics

ActionIn the docs only

Reads the numbers of a single post, which lets you track how a specific piece performed without opening BulkPublish.

When to use it
after List posts, to write the result of each post into a reporting sheet row by row.
Watch out
it runs once per post it receives, and each run is one operation on your plan; filter the list first so you only measure what matters.
BulkPublish8

Get quota usage

ActionIn the docs only

Tells you how much of your BulkPublish quota you have used, so a scenario can check the room left before it posts in volume.

When to use it
place it ahead of a large batch of Create a post modules and stop the run when the margin is thin.
Watch out
the doc does not detail the quota itself; read the returned bundle with Run once to see what it holds.
BulkPublish9

List channels

SearchIn the docs only

Lists the channels connected to your BulkPublish account, which gives you the exact values to pick when a post must go to one network and not another.

When to use it
as a first test of a fresh connection, or to route posts by channel.
Watch out
as a search, it can return zero, one or many bundles, and every following module then runs once per channel.
BulkPublish10

List labels

SearchIn the docs only

Pulls every label of your account into the scenario, so you can check what exists before creating, applying or cleaning anything.

When to use it
just before Create a label, to skip a tag that is already there.
Watch out
an empty result is a valid answer, not an error; add a filter after it so the next module knows what to do when nothing comes back.
BulkPublish11

List posts

SearchIn the docs only

Brings your BulkPublish posts into Make as separate bundles, the starting point of any report or bulk update.

When to use it
ahead of Get post metrics, to measure a set of posts in a single scenario run.
Watch out
a long list multiplies the operations of every module placed after it; narrow the results with a filter as early as you can in the flow.
BulkPublish12

Make an API call

ActionIn the docs only

Opens the whole BulkPublish API to your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, for what the listed modules do not cover.

When to use it
you need a BulkPublish feature that none of the other 15 modules exposes.
Watch out
you will need the BulkPublish API reference to know the endpoint and its parameters, since Make's own documentation for this app stays limited.
BulkPublish13

Publish a post

ActionIn the docs only

Sends a post live on BulkPublish, which turns an approval somewhere else into content your audience actually sees.

When to use it
right after Create a post, or once a draft already stored in BulkPublish gets the green light in your review tool.
Watch out
a published post is public; keep the scenario off until one test with Run once confirms the right post goes out.
BulkPublish14

Search post

SearchIn the docs only

Finds the post you are looking for among your BulkPublish content, so later modules act on the right one instead of a guessed identifier.

When to use it
before Update a post or Delete a post, when your other app does not store the BulkPublish post identifier.
Watch out
a search may return several matches; limit the result or add a filter before any change or deletion.
BulkPublish15

Update a post

ActionIn the docs only

Edits a post that already exists in BulkPublish, so a correction made in your source tool reaches the queued version too.

When to use it
a typo gets fixed or a link changes in your content calendar after the post was created.
Watch out
map the identifier from Search post or Create a post; updating the wrong post is easy when two drafts look alike.
BulkPublish16

Upload media

ActionIn the docs only

Stores a media file in BulkPublish from another app, so your posts can use it without anyone downloading and uploading the file by hand.

When to use it
a designer drops the final visual into a shared folder and it should be ready for the next post.
Watch out
on the Make Free plan, files are capped at 5 MB, which a heavy visual can exceed.

FAQ

BulkPublish and Make: common questions

01Is the BulkPublish Make integration free?
Yes, BulkPublish is a standard app in Make, so you can use it on the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Your BulkPublish subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect BulkPublish to Make?
A BulkPublish account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no other prerequisite. You add a BulkPublish module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either authorize Make on the BulkPublish page or paste the key BulkPublish provides, and click Save. The documentation is limited for this app, so the easiest check is to run List channels once: if your channels come back, the connection is ready for every other module.
03Does the BulkPublish Make integration have a real-time trigger?
No, BulkPublish has no trigger module in Make at all. A scenario therefore starts in one of two ways. Either you put the trigger of another app first, for example a new row or an approved card, and it launches the BulkPublish modules after it. Or you start with a BulkPublish search such as List posts and set a schedule on it; a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go below 15 minutes.
04What if a BulkPublish module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API call. It reaches any endpoint of the BulkPublish API from your scenario with the same connection, so a feature absent from the 15 other modules is still within reach. You will need the BulkPublish API reference to write the request, because Make says its own documentation for this app is limited. When a module behaves unexpectedly, run it with Run once and read the returned bundle before trusting it in production.
05Should you use Make or n8n for BulkPublish?
It depends on what exists on each side. In Make, BulkPublish comes with 16 modules and a Make an API call module for the rest, but no trigger. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check whether one exists for BulkPublish and compare the operations it offers with the list on this page. Choose on coverage of the actions you need and on the tool your team already runs, not on a general ranking.
