Automat­ing your Word­Press site doesn’t have to feel like rock­et science.

Tools like Make.com are pow­er­ful, but for many begin­ners, they can feel over­whelm­ing. Between extra con­nec­tion steps and com­plex setups (like web­hooks), it’s easy to get stuck before any­thing actu­al­ly works.

That’s where a plu­g­in like Uncan­ny Automa­tor makes a big dif­fer­ence. It lets you build Make.com–style work­flows in Word­Press using a sim­ple set­up that feels famil­iar and easy to follow.

You can con­nect your favorite plu­g­ins, trig­ger actions based on what users do on your site, and even add AI-pow­ered tasks in just a few minutes.

In this guide, I’ll show you how I auto­mat­ed my Word­Press site to work like Make.com.

The goal is sim­ple: spend less time on repet­i­tive tasks, keep things run­ning smooth­ly, and focus more on grow­ing your site instead of man­ag­ing it.

Why I Moved Away from Make.com (And You Can Too)

I moved away from Make.com because it became hard­er to man­age as my site grew. While it’s a pow­er­ful automa­tion tool, the set­up and main­te­nance can feel like too much if you just want things to work inside WordPress.

Make.com is a visu­al automa­tion plat­form that helps you con­nect dif­fer­ent apps and ser­vices using work­flows called scenarios. 

You build these work­flows by drag­ging and con­nect­ing blocks, so when some­thing hap­pens in one app, it trig­gers actions in another.

It’s a great tool, but for many Word­Press site own­ers, it can feel dis­con­nect­ed from how Word­Press actu­al­ly works day to day. 

Over time, I want­ed some­thing sim­pler and more tight­ly inte­grat­ed with my site.

3 Chal­lenges That Made Me Switch Away From Make.com

Make.com stopped work­ing for me once every­day automa­tions began tak­ing more time to set up and main­tain than the tasks themselves.

Here are the three biggest rea­sons I decid­ed to move away:

Chal­lenge	What It Means	Why It Matters
Steep Learn­ing Curve	Even sim­ple work­flows require hours of tuto­ri­als to under­stand mod­ules like Routers, Iter­a­tors, and Aggregators.	Begin­ners can get stuck before automa­tions even start working.
Unpre­dictable Pricing	Costs depend on “oper­a­tions,” which means you pay for every sin­gle inter­nal step, fil­ter, and log­i­cal check—not just the final result. Pro­cess­ing the exact same 500 WooCom­merce orders can cost sig­nif­i­cant­ly more if you add a sim­ple filter.	Hard to bud­get as your site traf­fic or sales grow.
Extra Com­plex­i­ty with WordPress	Inte­grat­ing Make.com requires APIs, web­hooks, and third-par­ty con­nec­tions. Work­flows can break when plu­g­ins update,	Ongo­ing trou­bleshoot­ing slows you down and adds stress.

At that point, I real­ized I need­ed an automa­tion solu­tion that felt sim­pler, more pre­dictable, and built specif­i­cal­ly for WordPress.

What Make.com Does Really Well

In plain Eng­lish, Make.com is great when you need lots of ‘if this, then that’ paths and you’re con­nect­ing many apps out­side WordPress.

For instance, it has:

• A visu­al flow­chart builder that lets you design automa­tions by con­nect­ing steps visu­al­ly, mak­ing it easy to under­stand how data moves from one action to the next.
• Built-in branch­ing and rout­ing using Router mod­ules, so dif­fer­ent actions can run based on con­di­tions you set.
• A large inte­gra­tion library, with access to thou­sands of apps and ser­vices that you can con­nect with­out build­ing every­thing from scratch.
• Advanced automa­tion log­ic, includ­ing Iter­a­tors and Aggre­ga­tors for work­ing with lists of data, plus fil­ters to con­trol when actions run.

These fea­tures are great when you need detailed con­trol over com­plex work­flows. How­ev­er, for many every­day Word­Press automa­tions, they can feel like more than you actu­al­ly need.

When Does Using Make.com Still Make Sense?

Even though I moved away from Make.com, there are sit­u­a­tions where it still works well:

• For Apps Out­side Word­Press – If you need to con­nect tools that Uncan­ny Automa­tor doesn’t sup­port, then Make.com gives you access to thou­sands of apps.
• Already Heav­i­ly Invest­ed – If you’ve built a lot of work­flows in Make.com, then switch­ing every­thing might not be worth it right away.
• Advanced HTTP Mod­ules – While Automa­tor Pro han­dles most web­hook needs, some very advanced HTTP requests might still be eas­i­er in Make.com.

In most every­day Word­Press use cas­es, Automa­tor han­dles every­thing smooth­ly, but it’s good to know Make.com can still be use­ful in these scenarios.

🌟The Solution: Why Uncanny Automator Feels Like Make.com But Easier

After run­ning into too many chal­lenges with Make.com, I final­ly found a solu­tion that checks all the box­es: Uncan­ny Automa­tor.

It is the best Word­Press automa­tion plu­g­in that lets you con­nect your favorite plu­g­ins, Word­Press fea­tures, and hun­dreds of exter­nal apps. You build workflows—called Recipes—using a sim­ple visu­al builder. 

It works like Make.com, but every­thing hap­pens inside Word­Press, so set­up is faster, man­age­ment is sim­pler, and scal­ing your site is easier. 

With Automa­tor, you get the pow­er of advanced automa­tion with­out learn­ing new mod­ules, deal­ing with bro­ken work­flows, or watch­ing your month­ly costs spike unexpectedly.

How Uncanny Automator Saves You Money

One of Uncan­ny Automator’s biggest advan­tages is cost-effec­tive­ness. Because you pay a flat annu­al fee for unlim­it­ed Recipes and actions, you avoid the unpre­dictable per-oper­a­tion costs that Make.com can add up to.

Usage Sce­nario	Make.com Est. Year­ly Cost	Automa­tor Pro Year­ly Cost	Annu­al Savings
500 com­plex WooCom­merce orders/month	$183	$149	$34+
1,000 form submissions/month	$348	$149	$199+

💡 Key advan­tage: Automa­tor lets you cre­ate unlim­it­ed work­flows and actions inside Word­Press. While exter­nal tools like Ope­nAI may still charge usage fees, you won’t pay extra to Automa­tor just for run­ning the automa­tion itself.

If you want to see exact­ly how Automa­tor com­pares to Make.com in every­day Word­Press workflows—and why it’s sim­pler and faster—just expand the sec­tion below:

Tech­ni­cal Fea­ture Show­down: Make.com vs. Automator

Fea­ture	Make.com	Automa­tor	Why Automa­tor Wins
Con­di­tion­al Logic	Add a Router mod­ule, con­fig­ure fil­ter con­di­tions, and con­nect paths	Add Con­di­tion → select field, oper­a­tor, val­ue → actions run based on true/false	Eas­i­er to cre­ate rules based on user behavior
Pro­cess­ing Lists	Requires the “Iter­a­tor” mod­ule to split data lists using com­plex mapping	“Run an action for each item in a list” → map repeater field → cre­ate action inside loop	Auto­mates repeat­ed tasks like han­dling orders or form sub­mis­sions quickly
Data Trans­for­ma­tion	Write for­mu­las, JSON, or RegEx	Use tokens ({{user_email}}) + visu­al Data For­mat­ter (split text, math, AI summary)	Lets you change and for­mat data visu­al­ly with­out coding
Word­Press-Native Advantage	Requires API/webhooks → slight delays	Direct data­base access → instant triggers	Faster, more reli­able, less troubleshooting

Real-World Workflow: How to Automate Blog Post Summaries with Uncanny Automator

With Uncan­ny Automa­tor, you can cre­ate com­plex work­flows much more eas­i­ly than with Make.com. You don’t need to wor­ry about APIs or web­hooks because every­thing hap­pens right inside WordPress.

Here are a few exam­ples of what you can do:

• Auto­mat­i­cal­ly add new WooCom­merce orders to a Google Sheet for easy reporting.
• Send noti­fi­ca­tions or emails when­ev­er a new post goes live.
• Sum­ma­rize post con­tent using AI and store it in a spread­sheet for easy reference.

In this arti­cle, I’m going to show you how to cre­ate a work­flow that auto­mat­i­cal­ly gen­er­ates an AI sum­ma­ry and adds it to Google Sheets when­ev­er a new blog post is published. 

Here’s how it will work:

Even if you nev­er store blog sum­maries in Google Sheets, this work­flow teach­es you the exact pat­tern you’ll use for automat­ing forms, WooCom­merce orders, email reports, and AI con­tent across your site.

Once you under­stand this set­up, you can reuse the same steps for almost any oth­er automa­tion on your Word­Press website.

Step 1: Install and Activate Uncanny Automator

The first thing you need to do is set up Uncan­ny Automa­tor on your Word­Press site. 

Start by sign­ing up for an account on the Uncan­ny Automa­tor web­site. Just click the ‘Get Uncan­ny Automa­tor now’ but­ton and fol­low the steps to cre­ate your account. 

Next, go to your Word­Press dash­board to install the plu­g­ins. First, install the free core plu­g­in from the Word­Press repos­i­to­ry. Then, install the pre­mi­um plu­g­in using the ZIP file you can down­load from your Uncan­ny Automa­tor account. 

The pre­mi­um plu­g­in unlocks the inte­gra­tions you need for Ope­nAI and Google Sheets. If you’re unsure how to do that, check our step-by-step guide on installing Word­Press plu­g­ins.

Upon instal­la­tion, it’s time to acti­vate your license. Go to Automa­tor » Set­tings in your Word­Press dash­board and enter the license key from your Uncan­ny Automa­tor account.

Click the ‘Acti­vate License’ but­ton, and your web­site will be ready to start cre­at­ing automa­tion workflows.

Step 2: Connect OpenAI to Uncanny Automator

For this work­flow to work, you need to con­nect your Ope­nAI account to Uncan­ny Automa­tor. This allows Ope­nAI to auto­mat­i­cal­ly gen­er­ate sum­maries of your blog posts before they are added to your Google Sheets reports.

The good news is you only have to con­nect it once.

To get start­ed, you’ll need your Ope­nAI secret key. A secret key is a unique code that tells Ope­nAI it’s real­ly you using their ser­vice. It keeps your account secure and allows Uncan­ny Automa­tor to access Ope­nAI safely.

To find your secret key, log in to your Ope­nAI account and go to the ‘API Keys’ tab in the left-hand menu. Here, click the ‘Cre­ate new secret key’ button.

You’ll be prompt­ed to give it a name—this is just for your ref­er­ence, so you can iden­ti­fy it later.

Once you’ve added cred­its, click ‘Cre­ate Secret Key’.

Ope­nAI will gen­er­ate the key and dis­play it in a popup. 

Copy this key and store it some­where safe, because you won’t be able to see it again.

Next, go to your Word­Press dash­board and open the Automa­tor » App Inte­gra­tions page. Then, switch to the ‘Ope­nAI’ tab on the left and paste your secret key into the ‘Secret Key’ field.

After that, click ‘Con­nect Ope­nAI Account’. Once this is done, your Uncan­ny Automa­tor and Ope­nAI accounts are connected.

Now you’re ready to add trig­gers and actions using Ope­nAI in your work­flows. This con­nec­tion allows you to auto­mat­i­cal­ly sum­ma­rize posts or per­form oth­er AI-pow­ered tasks when­ev­er a work­flow runs.

Step 3: Connect Uncanny Automator to Google Sheets

The next step is to con­nect Uncan­ny Automa­tor to Google Sheets. This will allow all your blog post sum­maries to be added to your cho­sen spreadsheet. 

To get start­ed, go to Automa­tor » App Inte­gra­tions in your Word­Press dash­board and select ‘Google Sheets’ from the left-hand menu. 

Click the ‘Sign in with Google’ but­ton and choose the account you want to link. If your account isn’t list­ed, you can add it using the ‘Use Anoth­er Account’ option.

Next, Google will ask for per­mis­sions so Uncan­ny Automa­tor can access your spreadsheets. 

This is com­plete­ly nor­mal, and the plu­g­in only uses these per­mis­sions to add new rows to the spread­sheets you select.

Once you approve, you’ll be redi­rect­ed back to your Word­Press dash­board with a con­fir­ma­tion that your Google account is connected.

Final­ly, click ‘Select new sheet(s)’ and choose the spread­sheet you want to use for stor­ing your post summaries. 

You can add mul­ti­ple spread­sheets if need­ed, and all con­nect­ed sheets will appear in the recipe edi­tor when build­ing automations.

If you want a more detailed guide, check out our tuto­r­i­al on how to con­nect WooCom­merce to Google Sheets.

Once your spread­sheet is con­nect­ed, you’re ready to start build­ing a work­flow that sum­ma­rizes posts and auto­mat­i­cal­ly sends them direct­ly to Google Sheets.

Step 4: Create Your Recipe in Uncanny Automator

Once you’ve suc­cess­ful­ly con­nect­ed Ope­nAI and Google Sheets, it’s time to cre­ate a recipe in Uncan­ny Automator. 

In Automa­tor, a recipe is what defines your automa­tion. Each recipe has two main parts: the trig­ger, which starts the automa­tion, and the action, which is what hap­pens next.

To start, go to Automa­tor » Add New Recipe from your Word­Press dash­board. You’ll be asked to choose between a ‘Logged-in’ recipe and an ‘Every­one’ recipe. Logged-in recipes only run when a user is signed in. 

For this work­flow, I rec­om­mend select­ing Every­one.

Here’s why: If you sched­ule posts to be pub­lished auto­mat­i­cal­ly in the future, Word­Press pub­lish­es them in the back­ground (using the sys­tem cron) rather than using a logged-in user. Select­ing ‘Every­one’ ensures the automa­tion runs reli­ably for sched­uled posts, too.

Next, give your recipe a name that makes sense, like ‘Blog Post Sum­ma­ry to Google Sheets’. This will help you iden­ti­fy it lat­er when you cre­ate more recipes.

After that, Uncan­ny Automa­tor will show a list of all plu­g­ins and ser­vices installed on your site. Select ‘Word­Press’ as the inte­gra­tion plat­form for your trigger.

Then, choose the event that should start the recipe. For this work­flow, select ‘A post is published’. 

This ensures that every time a new post goes live, the recipe will run automatically.

Final­ly, you’ll need to select the post type. By default, Uncan­ny Automa­tor applies the trig­ger to all post types, includ­ing posts, pages, and products. 

Since this work­flow is only for Word­Press blog posts, select ‘Post’ from the drop­down menu. Once that’s done, click ‘Save’ to acti­vate your trigger.

Step 5: Add the OpenAI Action to Generate Blog Post Summaries

Now that your trig­ger is set, it’s time to add the first action for your recipe: gen­er­at­ing a sum­ma­ry of the blog post using OpenAI.

To start, click the ‘Add Action’ but­ton inside your recipe.

This will open a list of inte­gra­tions for your action. 

Since you’ve already con­nect­ed Ope­nAI, click on it to select the platform.

You’ll see a list of actions Ope­nAI can perform. 

For this work­flow, select ‘Use a prompt to gen­er­ate text’. This tells Ope­nAI exact­ly what con­tent to create.

Next, choose the Ope­nAI mod­el. I rec­om­mend the lat­est avail­able mod­el, as it pro­duces the most nat­ur­al and accu­rate summaries.

Now, set the Tem­per­a­ture. This con­trols how close­ly the AI sticks to the facts ver­sus how cre­ative it gets. For a blog sum­ma­ry, you want the AI to be pre­dictable and fac­tu­al, so I rec­om­mend set­ting the tem­per­a­ture to 0.

Set the max­i­mum num­ber of tokens next. Tokens are the units Ope­nAI uses to mea­sure text. Rough­ly speak­ing, 1 token is about 1 word or 4 char­ac­ters. So a 200-word sum­ma­ry would need around 300–350 tokens.

Tokens also affect pric­ing. Keep in mind that Ope­nAI charges for both the text it reads (your blog post) and the text it writes (the sum­ma­ry). Set­ting the Max­i­mum Tokens to 300 ensures the sum­ma­ry doesn’t get too long, help­ing you con­trol your costs.

Final­ly, set your prompt. A good prompt clear­ly tells Ope­nAI what you want. For this work­flow, you could use some­thing like:

‘Cre­ate a con­cise sum­ma­ry of the fol­low­ing blog post con­tent in around 200 words. Focus on the main points and key take­aways: {{Post Con­tent (For­mat­ted)}}.‘

If you’re new to cre­at­ing prompts for AI, please take a look at our guide to the best AI prompts for blog­gers, mar­keters, and social media.

Here, the {{Post Content (Formatted)}} token ensures Ope­nAI knows exact­ly which blog post to sum­ma­rize. This is dif­fer­ent from an Ope­nAI API token (the secret key you con­nect­ed earlier).

The Ope­nAI token grants Automa­tor access to Ope­nAI, while these recipe tokens tell the AI which con­tent to include in the gen­er­at­ed text.

You can add these tokens by click­ing the aster­isk in the prompt edi­tor. Uncan­ny Automa­tor will dis­play a list of avail­able tokens, such as the post title, author name, pub­li­ca­tion date, and more.

Once every­thing is set, click ‘Save’ to store the action. Your recipe now has a trig­ger and a first action that gen­er­ates con­cise, AI-pow­ered sum­maries when­ev­er a new post is published.

Step 6: Add the Google Sheets Action to Store Summaries

Now it’s time to add the sec­ond action to your work­flow. This action will auto­mat­i­cal­ly cre­ate a row in your cho­sen Google Sheet and add the sum­ma­ry gen­er­at­ed by OpenAI. 

This is what makes the work­flow tru­ly use­ful because all your post sum­maries will be auto­mat­i­cal­ly stored and organized.

To add this action, click the ‘Add Action’ but­ton again in your recipe. Select Google Sheets as the inte­gra­tion this time. 

Uncan­ny Automa­tor will then show a list of actions it can per­form. For this work­flow, choose ‘Cre­ate a row in a Google Sheet’. 

This tells Automa­tor to add a new row to your spread­sheet when­ev­er Ope­nAI gen­er­ates a sum­ma­ry for a new blog post.

Next, you’ll see a drop­down to select the Google Spread­sheet you con­nect­ed ear­li­er. Choose the spread­sheet where you want to store your blog post summaries. 

Then, select the work­sheet (tab) inside that spreadsheet. 

If your file only has one sheet, you don’t need to wor­ry. But if your spread­sheet has mul­ti­ple tabs, make sure you select the cor­rect one so your data doesn’t end up in the wrong place.

After that, scroll down to the ‘Rows’ sec­tion. This is where you map your blog post data to the columns in your Google Sheet. 

Don’t wor­ry, because map­ping is sim­pler than it sounds. You’re just match­ing each col­umn in your spread­sheet with the right piece of infor­ma­tion from your post or the Ope­nAI summary.

To start map­ping, click the aster­isk (*) icon next to a field. This opens a list of avail­able data that Automa­tor can pull from the trig­ger (your blog post) and the Ope­nAI action. 

Under the Trig­gers sec­tion, you’ll see options like post title, author name, pub­lished date, and more.

Under the Actions sec­tion, you’ll find ‘Ope­nAI Response’, which is the sum­ma­ry gen­er­at­ed by AI.

Make sure to select ‘Response’ for the sum­ma­ry col­umn in your sheet. This ensures the sum­ma­ry is auto­mat­i­cal­ly added to the cor­rect column.

Take your time map­ping each col­umn carefully. 

Once you’ve matched all the fields, click ‘Save’ to store your settings. 

Step 7: Save and Activate Your Recipe

Now that both your trig­ger (a new post pub­lished) and your actions (gen­er­at­ing a sum­ma­ry with Ope­nAI and adding it to Google Sheets) are set up, it’s time to make your recipe live.

Before acti­vat­ing, take a moment to dou­ble-check all your map­pings. Make sure the columns in Google Sheets match the blog post infor­ma­tion, and that the Ope­nAI sum­ma­ry is mapped to the cor­rect column.

This ensures that every new post is added cor­rect­ly with­out errors.

Once you’re con­fi­dent every­thing is cor­rect, tog­gle the Trig­ger and Action switch­es to ‘Live. Then, in the right-hand col­umn, change the recipe sta­tus from ‘Draft’ to ‘Live’.

And that’s it! Your automa­tion is now active.

To test it, sim­ply go to Posts » Add New and pub­lish a blog post (or update an exist­ing one if you set the trig­ger to update).

Give it a few sec­onds, then check your Google Sheet. You should see a new row appear auto­mat­i­cal­ly with your AI-gen­er­at­ed summary.

Next Steps for Building Make.com-Style Workflows Right in WordPress

Over­all, after cre­at­ing work­flows with both Make.com and Uncan­ny Automa­tor, I can con­fi­dent­ly say that build­ing com­plex automa­tions with Uncan­ny Automa­tor is so much easier. 

Oth­er than the blog post sum­ma­ry work­flow I showed above, you can also cre­ate work­flows like these, and they’re much sim­pler to set up in Uncan­ny Automa­tor com­pared to Make.com:

Work­flow Example	Why It’s Eas­i­er in Uncan­ny Automator	Make.com Com­plex­i­ty
Send auto­mat­ed email noti­fi­ca­tions when a user sub­mits a form, places an order, or com­pletes a course	Direct trig­ger from Word­Press forms, WooCom­merce, or LMS, with sim­ple drop­downs for actions	Requires set­ting up web­hooks, pars­ing JSON, and map­ping mul­ti­ple apps
Add new WooCom­merce orders to spread­sheets for report­ing or bookkeeping	Con­nect WooCom­merce → Google Sheets in min­utes, with field map­ping inside WordPress	Needs mul­ti­ple mod­ules, API keys, and data pars­ing for each order
Gen­er­ate AI-pow­ered sum­maries or con­tent for posts, emails, or inter­nal reports	Ope­nAI inte­gra­tion direct­ly inside Word­Press, and tokens han­dle con­tent dynamically	Must con­fig­ure HTTP mod­ules, API calls, and han­dle JSON manually
Sync user data between plu­g­ins (mem­ber­ships, LMS, CRM)	Automa­tor reads plu­g­in data native­ly, and the trig­gers and actions are simple	Each plu­g­in requires a sep­a­rate API set­up and webhooks
Sched­ule fol­low-ups auto­mat­i­cal­ly (mem­ber­ship renewals, course completions)	Native Word­Press events trig­ger actions, with no exter­nal scheduler	Mul­ti­ple mod­ules, time delays, and extra set­up per platform

Once your first work­flow is live, you can con­fi­dent­ly explore and cre­ate new automa­tions that save time, stream­line process­es, and make your Word­Press site smarter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uncanny Automator vs. Make.com

Now that you’ve seen how Uncan­ny Automa­tor can sim­pli­fy Make.com-style work­flows in Word­Press, you prob­a­bly have a few questions. 

To make things eas­i­er, I’ve answered some of the most com­mon ques­tions about AI, automa­tion, and how these tools work together:

Can Uncan­ny Automa­tor han­dle com­plex work­flows like Make.com?

Yes! For work­flows that most­ly involve Word­Press and its plu­g­ins, Uncan­ny Automa­tor can han­dle them just like Make.com—but with­out the extra set­up, APIs, or webhooks.

Do I need cod­ing skills to use Uncan­ny Automator?

No cod­ing is required. The visu­al Recipe builder and tokens make cre­at­ing automa­tions as sim­ple as point-and-click.

What’s the dif­fer­ence between the Free and Pro ver­sions of Uncan­ny Automator?

The Free ver­sion gives you unlim­it­ed recipes with all the basic trig­gers and actions you need to get started. 

The Pro ver­sion steps it up with con­di­tion­al log­ic, loops, sched­uled automa­tions, over 150 inte­gra­tions, and even mul­ti­site support—basically every­thing you need for more advanced workflows.

Will using Uncan­ny Automa­tor slow down my Word­Press site?

Not sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Automa­tor runs actions asyn­chro­nous­ly, so site per­for­mance is min­i­mal­ly affected—mostly lim­it­ed by your serv­er resources.

Will Uncan­ny Automa­tor sum­ma­rize my exist­ing blog posts?

By default, this recipe only runs when a new post is pub­lished. It will not go back and sum­ma­rize your old posts auto­mat­i­cal­ly. How­ev­er, Uncan­ny Automa­tor Pro includes a fea­ture to run recipes on exist­ing con­tent if you need to bulk-update your site.

Can I migrate my exist­ing Make.com work­flows to Uncan­ny Automator?

There’s no one-click migra­tion. You’ll need to man­u­al­ly rebuild work­flows: Router → Con­di­tion, Iter­a­tor → Loop, HTTP → Web­hook. But once set up, Uncan­ny Automator’s Word­Press-native inte­gra­tion makes main­te­nance much easier.
