Example Workflow

A typical conversation from discovery to optimized automation:

You:

“Show me my recent posts”

AI:

Here are your last 5 posts. The Claude guide post has 142 comments and no automation yet.

→ list_recent_posts

You:

“Automate that one - DM anyone who says interested, and auto-connect with them”

AI:

Created 'Claude Guide Giveaway' as Draft. Keywords: interested. Auto-connect enabled. Ready to review.

→ create_automation

You:

“Looks good, activate it and enable auto-like too”

AI:

Automation is now Running with auto-like enabled. I'll like comments and DM people who say 'interested'.

→ edit_automation

You:

“Add 'send' and 'want' as keywords, and turn on partially engage”

AI:

Updated. Keywords: interested, send, want. Partially engage enabled — won't reply to comments you've already responded to.

→ edit_automation

You:

“Enable link tracking so I can see who clicks”

AI:

Link tracking enabled. Your DM links will use leads.sh for click tracking.

→ edit_automation

You:

“Add a follow-up DM after 2 hours if they don't reply”

AI:

Follow-up enabled. Will send after 2 hours only if no response received.

→ edit_automation

You:

“How's it doing?”

AI:

284 comments, 156 replied, 142 DMs sent, 89 follow-ups sent, 67 new connections. Top keyword: 'interested' (67%).

→ list_automations

You:

“Schedule a new post for Monday 9am EST with this infographic: https://cdn.example.com/guide.png”

AI:

Scheduled for Monday 9am EST with image attached. Post + automation ready. Automation will activate automatically when post publishes.

→ schedule_post_with_automation

You:

“Pause everything, I'm going on vacation”

AI:

Daily DM limit set to 0. All sending paused across 3 automations. Automations will still capture comments. Set limit back when you return.

→ set_daily_dm_limit
