Here's exactly how to set it up yourself:

1. Sign up (for free) at airtable.com.

2. Click "Build an App on Your Own."

3. Name it “Content Calendar.”

4. Go to Claude. Click on Connectors, find Airtable.

5. Connect Airtable & give it access to your bases.

6. Start a new chat in Claude and paste this prompt:

"Search Reddit, Substack, and recent news for the top trending topics in [your niche] from the past 7 days. For each topic, generate 2-3 fresh content angles a LinkedIn creator could take. Write each one as a new row in my Airtable content calendar.”

Claude does the research. Writes the ideas. Populates your base.

7. In Airtable, click the "+" icon to add a new field.

8. Select "Create Custom Agent."

9. Toggle on “Automatic Generation.”

10. Click "Edit with AI."

11. Paste this prompt:

"Act like a Senior LinkedIn Content Strategist who writes value-driven posts that stop the scroll. Your goal is to turn a single topic into a full post draft ready to edit and publish.

For the provided topic, write a complete LinkedIn post using this structure:

Part 1 - The Hook (2 lines max)

Line 1: A bold, specific claim that creates a curiosity gap.

Line 2: A follow-up that makes the reader click "see more."

Constraint: Never open with "In today's fast-paced world" or any generic opener.

Constraint: Never use "Unlock" or "Master" or "Game-changer."

Part 2 - The Setup (2–3 short lines)

Describe the problem or the old way of doing things. Be specific.

Bad: "Many people struggle with productivity."

Good: "You open 4 tabs, 3 tools, and still copy-paste everything manually."

Part 3 - The Value (3–5 key points)

Each point is one actionable insight or step.

Short. Punchy. One idea per line.

Include specific details - tools, numbers, exact actions.

Constraint: No filler. Every point must teach something.

Part 4 - The CTA (1–2 lines)

End with a reason to save, share, or comment.

Conversational. Not salesy."

12. Click "Update Agent."

Now every new topic Claude adds to Airtable gets a full post draft. Automatically.

I do the Claude research step once a week.

Takes 2 minutes.

I come back to 30 drafts. Ready to post.
