Title: October 2024 Make Release Round-up – 25+ New Verified Apps, AI-Powered Modules, and Platform Tweaks You Shouldn’t Miss

Intro
Every month the Make Community publishes a monster changelog, and October’s drop is one of the most feature-packed we’ve seen all year. From TikTok audience targeting to AI-generated video and a brand-new toolbar inside the scenario editor, builders have a lot to unpack. Below is our distilled, third-party view of everything that hit production in October 2024, complete with links, use-case ideas, and quick-fire takeaways you can bring to your next automation sprint.

  1. Brand-New Apps (🟣 section in the community post)
    a) TikTok Audiences
    Link: https://www.make.com/en/integrations/tiktok-audiences
    Why it matters: First-party audience management without leaving Make. Think automatic sync of “high LTV customers” from your CRM straight into TikTok Custom Audiences, daily exclusion of churned users, or one-click reporting on “Potential Audience Insights”. Perfect for agencies running multi-channel campaigns.

b) Runway (AI video, text-to-video)

Why it matters: Pipe product shots from Airtable or Shopify → Runway → MP4 ad creatives in Drive. Trigger auto-captioning, burn-ins or even auto-resize for social.

  1. New Modules Added to Existing Apps (🧩 Jigsaw section)
    • Anthropic Claude – “Make an API Call” module adds a ChatGPT alternative with stronger safety guardrails.
    • BambooHR – four HR analytics triggers/actions (e.g., Watch Updated Employees).
    • Leonardo.AI – Generate Motion (Video) plus reporting endpoints.
    • Pipedrive CRM – 13 brand-new field, filter, and summary modules that finally let builders manipulate custom deal fields without resorting to the generic “API call” hack.
  2. Wave of “Verified” Apps (✅ section)
    Twenty-three(!) apps earned the green check this month. Highlights by domain:

eCommerce & Fulfilment
• Bolesa App – regional shipping automation.
• Tinify – compress product imagery on-the-fly for faster stores.

Marketing & Sales
• TimelineAI for WhatsApp – multi-number WhatsApp messaging at scale.
• WAMM App – visual campaign scheduler for WhatsApp blasts.
• Valuecase – collaborative sales room; auto-create a workspace when a Pipedrive deal hits “Proposal”.
• MightyChat / PingBell – gamified KPI counters and conversion alerts straight into Slack or MS Teams.

Data Enrichment & Risk
• Enrich CRM, Foxentry, Remote Retrieval – three different flavors of contact enrichment and validation.
• Greip – Fraud prevention scoring you can drop into any checkout workflow.

AI & No-Code Builders
• MindStudio, Jodoo – rapid AI “worker” or database app builders that can be orchestrated from Make.
• ChatNode – train a chatbot on your docs and spin up support bots from a Make scenario.

Content Ops
• BookFunnel, CmonSite – ebook delivery & blog-publishing combos you can hook into Stripe, Calendly, or Mailchimp.

  1. Template Explosion – 300+ New Blueprints
    The template gallery (https://www.make.com/en/templates) received 300 new recipes. The ten most-installed templates show where the community’s head is at:
  2. Perplexity AI Research → Google Sheets
  3. Personalized News Digest (RSS → Email)
  4. GPT-3 Tweet Generator
  5. Google Sheets → WordPress auto-posting
  6. WhatsApp Template Messages via Webhook
  7. Google Forms → Sheets sync
  8. RSS → Twitter auto-tweeting
  9. Lead intake email w/ CSV summary
  10. Notion database watcher/updater
  11. WhatsApp messages for new Sheet rows

  1. Platform Enhancements & Quality-of-Life Tweaks (🔧 section)
    Custom IML Functions (developer beta)
    • You can now ask Make Support to re-enable custom functions in your private or partner apps. 600 existing apps were migrated in October alone. Docs: https://developers.make.com/…/custom-iml-functions

New Scenario Toolbar
• The editor’s top bar was overhauled (better zoom controls, immediate run history access). Early feedback from power users: fewer clicks when troubleshooting failed executions. Docs: https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/scenario-editor#scenario-toolbar

  1. Quick-Glance Takeaways for Automation Teams
    • Ads & Attribution pros: The TikTok Audiences connector + Pipedrive’s new “Deals Summary” module opens the door to fully automated ROAS dashboards.
    • AI & Content shops: Runway + Leonardo.AI + Tinify = a zero-touch creative pipeline from prompt to compressed asset.
    • RevOps / CS: TimelineAI, Valuecase, and PingBell let you automate the entire post-demo process—send WhatsApp follow-ups, open a collaborative workspace, and cheer when the deal closes.
    • HR Leads: BambooHR’s new triggers finally bring two-way sync parity to HR data pipelines.

What Happens Next?
According to Make forum staff, app migrations for custom IML functions will continue “in the upcoming weeks,” so expect even more granular modules in November and December. And if your favorite tool didn’t make the list (looking at you, gotoHuman fans), remember to skim previous monthly posts—September’s release covered it.

Wrap-Up
October 2024 shows Make’s accelerating push into AI content generation, enriched data, and omnichannel messaging. For agencies and in-house teams alike, the new connectors and modules remove a ton of “API call” elbow-grease and open doors to fresh revenue streams—whether that’s selling TikTok retargeting packages or bundling WhatsApp nurturing sequences.
