Building Your No-Code Automation: Step-by-Step
Let us divide the process of building this automation into reasonable portions.
Step 1: Setting Up the Content Scraper with Apify

The first step is configuring Apify to scrape viral content from your niche:
Create an Apify account and navigate to the Store
Search for "Instagram Scraper" (or TikTok Scraper if that's your preferred platform)
Configure the scraper by adding URLs of influencers in your niche
Set parameters like maximum number of posts (10 is a good starting point) and date range
Copy the JSON code provided and save it for the next step
This part is crucial as it determines your content analysis. Strategically monitor successful creators in your niche or adjacent niches whose content style you admire.
Step 2: Creating the Make.com Workflow (Part 1 - Trigger)
The Make.com workflow is split into two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Triggers the Apify scraper to collect viral content
Scenario 2: Processes the collected data through various tools
In the first scenario:
Create a new scenario in Make.com
Add the "Apify - Run Actor" module
Connect your Apify account
Paste the JSON configuration from the previous step
Set up a schedule (weekly is recommended for most use cases)
Step 3: Creating the Make.com Workflow (Part 2 - Processing)
The second situation is where the magic occurs.
Starting with "Apify - Watch Actor Runs" to observe when the scraper is accomplished.
Add "Apify - Get Dataset Items" to retrieve the scraped content
Use "Cloud Convert" to transform video URLs into MP3 files for transcription
Implement array and text aggregators to collect and format comments
Use OpenAI's Whisper model to transcribe audio to text
Create assistant modules for:
Summarizing the content
Creating viral scripts according to your style
Creating attention-grabbing hooks
Scoring virality potential
Analyzing sentiment in comments
Store everything in Airtable

Step 4: Configuring the AI Assistants

The AI helpers are responsible for transforming raw data into actionable content. Here's how to put them up.
Transcription Assistant: Uses OpenAI's Whisper to convert audio to text
Summarizer Assistant: Condenses transcripts into key points (35 words maximum)
Viral Script Generator: Creates full scripts based on successful content
Hook Generator: Develops attention-grabbing hooks based on proven formulas
Virality Score Assistant: Evaluates content against key virality factors
Sentiment Analysis Assistant: Analyzes audience comments for feedback
The most important assistant is the Viral Script Generator. For best results:
Add context about your brand, personality, and target audience
Upload stuff that reflects your tone of voice.
Specify reading level (14-year-old comprehension is recommended)
Organize scripts using hooks, context, and value sections.
Pro tip: Customizing assistants with your brand's voice and content makes outputs more personalized and valuable.
Step 5: Setting Up Your Airtable Database

The final step is to create an Airtable basis to store everything.
Create a new base in Airtable
Set up columns for:
Influencer name
Post date
URL
Summary
Views count
Likes count
Comments
Generated script
Viral hooks
Virality score
Sentiment analysis
Full transcript
Status (e.g., Posted, Rejected, In Progress)
Connect this base to your Make.com workflow
Map each output to the appropriate column in Airtable
Once complete, your Airtable will become a treasure trove of viral content ideas, complete with performance metrics and ready-to-use scripts.

Fine-Tuning Your Automation for Maximum Impact
Consider these optimization tactics to get the most of your viral content automation:
Filter for Quality Content Only
Add filters to ensure that you're only looking at high-quality content.
Filter out posts shorter than 10 seconds (these are often just photo reels)
Focus on posts with above-average engagement rates
Set date ranges to capture only recent content
Customize AI Prompts for Your Niche
The default AI questions work fine, but tailoring them to your sector makes a tremendous impact:
Add examples of successful hooks in your niche
Include industry-specific terminology
Specify content structure that works for your audience
Analyze Patterns Over Time
After running the automation for a few weeks, search for patterns:
Which topics consistently generate high engagement?
What hooks perform best with your audience?
What criticism appears in the comments?
Use these insights to further refine your content strategy and AI prompts.
Putting It All Into Action
Here's how to use this automation in your content pipeline now that it's set up:
Review the Generated Scripts: Not every script will be perfect—review them for relevance and quality
Adapt to Your Style: Use the scripts as starting points, adding your unique perspective
Test Different Hooks: Try multiple hook variations to see which performs best
Track Performance: After posting content based on the system, record the metrics and compare
