AI automation tools let you connect apps and add intelligent processing to repetitive workflows. On aidowith.me, the Automation in Make route walks you through 12 steps to build a working automation using Make (formerly Integromat) with AI modules. You'll pick a workflow to automate, connect your apps (Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, CRM), set up triggers that fire automatically, add AI steps that process, classify, or generate content, and test the whole thing with real data. The route covers common automations: lead routing from forms, email response drafting, report generation from spreadsheets, and social media scheduling. Each step builds one piece of your automation. AI helps you write the logic, but the route also shows you how Make's visual builder works so you can modify and extend your workflows later. The full build takes about 2 hours, and your automation starts running immediately after.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a route

  • You copy-paste data between three apps every morning and it takes 45 minutes
  • Make has hundreds of modules and you don't know which ones to connect
  • Your automation attempts break at step three because the data format is wrong

With aidowith.me

  • A working automation that runs daily without you touching it
  • 12 steps that show you exactly which modules to use and how to connect them
  • AI processing built into your workflow: auto-classify, draft, summarize, and route

Who Builds This With AI

Ops & Analysts

Summaries, process docs, and structured output from messy inputs.

Managers & Leads

Reports, presentations, and team comms handled faster.

Marketers

Content, campaigns, and briefs done in hours instead of days.

How It Works

1

Pick your workflow and map the steps

Identify the repetitive task you want to automate. Map the trigger, the data flow, and the output before building anything.

2

Build the automation in Make

Connect your apps, set up triggers, add AI processing modules, and wire the data flow. The route walks you through each connection.

3

Test with real data and activate

Run the automation with actual inputs, fix any data format issues, and flip it on. Your workflow runs on schedule from now on.

Questions

The route focuses on Make (formerly Integromat) as the automation platform, with AI modules from OpenAI and Claude for intelligent processing. Make connects to 1,500+ apps including Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and Notion. You'll also see how to add AI steps that classify, summarize, or generate content within your workflow.

Make's free tier includes 1,000 operations per month, which is enough to build and test your automation. Most simple automations (daily email processing, weekly report generation) fit within the free plan. If your automation runs frequently or processes high volume, the paid plan starts at $9 per month for 10,000 operations.

Yes. Make is a visual builder where you drag, drop, and connect modules. No coding required. The route shows you how to set up triggers, map data fields between apps, and add conditions. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can build automations in Make. AI helps you write any custom logic you need.
