FAQ

What file types does this support?

PDF, DOCX, and TXT. For other formats, preprocess with Cloudmersive or convert manually.

Can I customize the prompt categories?

Yes. Modify the AI prompt in the categorizePrompts module to reflect your niche or audience.

Do I need coding skills?

No. This is a no-code automation. Just import, connect, and run.

What if the AI output is messy?

Use a stricter JSON schema in your AI prompt or add a validation step using Make's JSON parser.

Can I use this with Zapier or n8n?

Yes. The same logic applies. Use:

  • Zapier: Webhooks + OpenAI + Formatter + Email
  • n8n: HTTP Request + OpenAI + Function Node + Email

We’ll publish Zapier and n8n versions soon. Subscribe to our blog to get notified.
