How to create an AI-powered content inspiration library with CometAPI + Make

Content creators and social media managers face a constant challenge: continuously generating fresh, engaging content ideas while managing multiple platforms and campaigns. The pressure to maintain an active social presence can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you're juggling client work, strategy development, and day-to-day operations.

The solution? An automated content inspiration library that generates, organizes, and stores unlimited social media content ideas using AI - all without manual intervention.

By combining CometAPI's powerful AI capabilities with Make's automation platform, you can create a system that continuously feeds your content pipeline with Q&A-style posts, engagement tips, and trending topic ideas, automatically organized in Google Sheets for easy access.

Let's build a complete workflow that transforms your content creation process from reactive to proactive.

Why automated content generation matters

Traditional content planning involves manual brainstorming sessions, scattered notes, and inconsistent posting schedules. Modern AI-powered content automation offers a dramatically different approach:

• Consistent content flow that maintains your social media presence 

• Diverse content formats tailored to platform-specific engagement patterns 

• Real-time trend adaptation based on current topics and hashtags 

• Seamless organization through automated spreadsheet management

When connected to Make's automation platform, AI content generators become even more powerful, populating your content calendars, triggering social media posts, and maintaining comprehensive content libraries for future campaigns.

Now, let’s break down how to integrate Make and CometAPI for the Content generation workflow effectively.

Step 1: Setting up the CometAPI + Make integration

Before diving into specific workflows, let's establish the connection between CometAPI and Make. Setup between the two platforms is straightforward, giving you an array of options to choose from to build the exact automation you're looking for.

Obtain your CometAPI key

1. Sign up or sign into your CometAPI console.

2. Create or navigate to your API keys page and copy the sk-xxxxx key for the project you’ll use. Store it securely for the next steps.

Create a Make scenario

1. Log in to your Make account

2. Click on "Create a new scenario"

3. All that's left is to add your API key from CometAPI and Make.

Step 2: Content generation workflow

Below are the specific parameters for each module in this automated content creation workflow:

Module 1: CometAPI - Create a Chat

To ensure the correct output format for the next Parse JSON Module, we recommend using a more advanced LLM like GPT-4 or Claude for optimal results.

Content Generation Prompt

This is the optimized prompt that generates structured Q&A content for social media automation. You can copy and paste this for immediate use:

You are a content generator that creates short Q&A style ideas for Twitter automation with Make.

Always output in valid JSON format only.

Do NOT include markdown, explanations, or extra text outside the JSON.

JSON format example:

{

"Question": "What's one quick tip to boost your Twitter engagement today?",

"Answer": "Always use visuals like images or short videos to grab attention.",

"Tag": "#SocialMedia #Marketing #Tips"

}

RULES:

• Follow the JSON structure exactly: Question, Answer, Tag.

• The Question must be short and engaging.

• The Answer must be a concise, actionable suggestion.

• The Tag field should contain 2–3 relevant hashtags.

• Do not add any other keys or text.

Module 2: Parse JSON

This module extracts the structured data from the AI response, making individual fields (Question, Answer, Tag) available for the next steps in your workflow.

Module 3: Google Sheets Integration

Prerequisites Setup

Before configuring the Google Sheets module, you need to:

a. Connect your Google account and ensure you grant proper access permissions during authorization 

b. Prepare a spreadsheet in your Google Sheets with the following structure for optimal organization:

Module Configuration

Back in Make's Google Sheets Module setup, you need to bind the correct values based on your Parse JSON configuration:

Field Mapping:

• Question Field: Maps to the parsed "Question" from JSON

• Answer Field: Maps to the parsed "Answer" from JSON 

• Tag Field: Maps to the parsed "Tag" from JSON

Step 3: Testing and deployment

Now we can test our automated content generation workflow. Click "Run Once" to execute the scenario:

After the run completes, check your Google Sheets. You should see that the AI has successfully inserted a new row of structured content data.

Advanced workflow variations

Here are several ways to expand this basic content generation workflow for different business needs:

1. Multi-platform content adaptation

• Modify the prompt to generate platform-specific content (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram) 

• Add conditional logic to format content differently based on platform requirements

• Include character count optimization for each social media platform

2. Content calendar automation

• Schedule the workflow to run multiple times daily 

• Add date/time stamps for content scheduling 

• Integrate with social media scheduling tools like Buffer or Hootsuite

3. Performance tracking integration
