Summary  
This chapter covers built-in utility functions for math and date/time operations, including random number generation and rounding, basic statistical calculations, number parsing/formatting, and date arithmetic with parsing/formatting.  

General domain of usage  
Workflow automation

### Math Functions

Math in **Make** is rarely about complex formulas. It is mostly used to control randomness, clean numeric values, and format numbers for real users.



### Date and Time Functions

Dates appear everywhere in automation, from reminders and billing to check-ins and renewals. Date functions help keep timing predictable and accurate.


These function families cover most automation needs in a practical order of importance:
**text**, **arrays**, **math**, **date and time**, **logic**, **system**.

Once these functions are familiar, building automations becomes less about fixing edge cases and more about deliberately shaping outcomes.

Which function would you use to automatically schedule a follow-up date 7 days after a purchase date?

Learn how to build powerful, real-world automation systems using Make.com and AI. Start with the fundamentals of scenario building and flow control, then master data handling, functions, APIs, and webhooks. Move into advanced workflows that combine RSS feeds, AI agents, and multimedia processing to create intelligent content pipelines. Finish by assembling a complete automation system, managing AI outputs, and exploring expansion ideas for scaling your workflows.

Learn the core foundations of Make.com automation, including platform basics, scenario building, AI-assisted workflow creation, integrations, and multi-path data routing logic.

Learn how Make stores and processes data, master built-in functions, work with arrays, and apply logic helpers to transform and control information inside your workflows.

Explore how APIs and webhooks work in Make, including sending requests, receiving data, and building real-time automation scenarios.

Learn how to combine RSS feeds with AI agents in Make to collect, process, and transform content into fully automated, intelligent workflows.

Explore how to design multimedia automation workflows, assemble a complete AI-driven content system, manage generated outputs, and plan future expansion paths.
