LinkedIn Post Scheduler via Buffer + Claude API

What this automation does: You maintain a simple ideas list (in Notion, Google Sheets, or Airtable). Once a week, an automation picks the next idea, sends it to Claude to generate a full LinkedIn post, and schedules it in Buffer for the optimal posting time.

Why it matters: LinkedIn content compounds over time but most reps stop because the weekly writing burden is too high. This automation reduces the active time investment from 45-60 minutes of weekly writing to 10 minutes of reviewing and approving Claude's drafts.

How to set it up:

  1. Create a simple ideas table in Notion or Google Sheets with columns: Topic, Angle, Tone Preference, Status (queued/used)
  2. In Make, create a weekly trigger (e.g., every Sunday evening)
  3. Pull the next 'queued' idea from your table
  4. Pass to Claude API with the LinkedIn Content Engine skill from Promptifi
  5. Send the output to Buffer as a scheduled post (set for Tuesday or Wednesday morning — peak engagement days)
  6. Mark the idea as 'used' in your table

Estimated time saved: 35-50 minutes of writing per week. Consistent posting without the willpower tax.
