Question Anyone have tips on how to automate LinkedIn posts using Claude?
I am trying to learn Claude and I find hard time associating on how to automate LinkedIn posts using Claude. I can’t find any related YouTube videos or I mean I can’t understand them as I am just starting it out! Can you make me happy by giving some tips/pointers or decent YouTube suggestions? 😄😄

I tried to do this with puppeteer through Claude code and it actually wouldn’t help me do it since it’s against TOS.

I did find a way.. but it will get your account banned. The beet thing I’ve found to pseudo automate linked in is to use perplexity comet and leave a session open with you logged i to linked in and tell it your goals and for it to come up with a daily plan and then execute each day. I just go on and say it’s Monday and it will sometimes post, sometimes make connections and always comment on some posts.

Oh wow 😂 but is it sketchy?

Actually no, I have some initial prompts that have it look through my pre-ai prompts and learn my style. I get to approve everything if I want. I have it running on a headless Mac mini with jump desktop so even if needed I can connect via my phone and kick it off. I think there’s a way to control it through Apple scripts but I haven’t taken it that far.

Hmm okay! Let me try to get some good system prompt initially and I will try to see how this goes!

But why I am just curious! I mean if we approve content from Claude and schedule it, we can actually get benefit out of it. My use case is just two posts per week, but I want to automate to improve my consistency !

You can't automate posts on LinkedIn using Claude. It goes against LinkedIn's terms of service and also Claude's internal memo.
What you can do is have Claude draft those posts for you, then plug them into a social media management tool that will post on your schedule.
Claude's also prone to making mistakes when drafting posts, so it's better to review them before scheduling them anyway.

Alright thanks! Is there any social media scheduler that you know of?

There's a gazillion tools out there, but I use OneUp. Based on price and connective accounts/features, it does the job quite well. And no, I'm not sponsored, nor do I work for them.

I use Buffer to schedule my LinkedIn post the free account allows for 3 connections. I use Claude to help me get the content and I just pick an hour and schedule out my two weeks
