Custom Make.com integration that handles Sync/Async usage

[emmaly]

Because it's not really that trivial to make a polling function within a Make scenario, I've made a custom Make integration (aka Custom App) that allows the user to perform the run-ffmpeg-command call synchronously. Effectively what it does is poll the commands endpoint once per second within the module, so it only returns back to the scenario when either it has completed or if there was an error, rather than simply returning a command_id and having the user deal with it themselves.

If you would like to take ownership of that, let me know who to send this information to.

The command looks like this in Make:

It's more user friendly in my opinion as the user doesn't need to supply in_# and out_# variables themselves, and it handles the unfortunate Make handling of {{ }} by allowing the user to supply the variables in the string as { } instead, and it converts it properly.

The output looks like this:

The output is automatically converting the out_# keys in output_files back to an array, so the user can iterate over it naturally with a Make array iterator module.

Hi Emmaly,

Nice stuff!
We would happily add this to our official make.com integration - continuing discussion in email
