Use Case: Creating Posts in ContentStudio with Claude

You can ask Claude to perform a wide range of actions in ContentStudio — from fetching your accounts and workspaces to generating ready-to-publish content. The process is simple: give it a command, and it handles the rest automatically.

As an example, let’s walk through how you can ask it to create social media posts inside ContentStudio.

Start a new chat in Claude Desktop and give the command:
"Create 10 social media posts for ContentStudio."

Behind the scenes, Claude first validates your API token, then fetches your workspace and connected social accounts before creating posts.

Claude automatically generates the posts and prepares them for publishing inside ContentStudio.

Go to your ContentStudio account and visit the Publisher section to review your posts and publish them.

That’s it — with just a single command, your posts are generated and ready inside ContentStudio.
