# Automating Make.com Documentation with Custom GPT

*Streamlining Your Documentation Workflow: *

Documentation is Essential. But let's be honest—it's also tedious. If you're like me and use Make.com for automations, you're probably familiar with how important yet time-consuming good documentation can be. I found myself repeating the same manual documentation tasks over and over and decided it was time for a change.

### Starting the Journey

I got inspired by a [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4meLXCKwAZ8&t=242s) showing how to automate scenario documentation directly using Perplexity. It was a great starting point, but after experimenting, I realized ChatGPT produced clearer and more consistent documentation in a way I preferred. Since I was already using ChatGPT regularly, this was a no-brainer for me.

### Creating a Better Process

My goal wasn't to document every scenario, just the ones fully tested and ready for production. Here's how I initially set it up:

1.  Clearly name each scenario and webhook in Make.com.
    
2.  Once a scenario passes testing, an automation triggers from Make.com:
    
    *   Extracts the scenario's blueprint JSON.
        
    *   Sends this JSON through a ChatGPT module.
        
    *   Posts generated documentation directly into Confluence.
        

The Challenges
--------------

Everything seemed smooth until I encountered two significant issues:

*   **Character limits:** OpenAI has limits on input size, so larger scenarios required multiple processing rounds.
    
*   **Formatting frustrations:** The documentation generated in Confluence Markdown often needed manual tweaks to look right once it was published.
    

Creating the Custom GPT
-----------------------

To permanently eliminate formatting headaches, I developed a custom GPT designed specifically for documenting Make.com scenarios. The new workflow became straightforward:

1.  Download your scenario's blueprint JSON from Make.com.
    
2.  Upload it directly to the custom GPT.
    
3.  Instantly get clean, well-formatted documentation output.
    
4.  Copy-paste directly into Confluence—no editing needed.
    

This streamlined the whole process down to just a few minutes.

Sharing and Collaborating
-------------------------

I strongly believe in open-source solutions, which is why I'm sharing this custom GPT openly. I hope it simplifies your workflow, enhances your productivity, and allows more room for innovation.

Give it a shot, adapt it to your needs, give feedback if you have any and let's keep automating smarter together!
