TL;DR

What did @GabePetersen use Claude for?

A real estate investor who hosts a podcast replaced an old Zapier setup by planning with ChatGPT, dictating the prompt, and having Claude build a Calendly to Make to Monday.com guest signup workflow. The guest signup part is finished and Claude wrote an onboarding guide for it. Guest prep emails and the rest of the podcast production steps are still to come.

What they did

They used ChatGPT to plan the workflow, then dictated the build prompt with Wispr Flow instead of typing it, cleaned up the text and handed it to Claude. Claude asked clarifying questions before building. The finished Make workflow connects Calendly to their Monday.com boards, where they keep separate Guest Tracking and Episode List boards, and covers email alerts and bookings that already existed. They had to work through a Calendly connection issue along the way.

How it went

The guest signup part is finished and Claude wrote an onboarding guide for it. Guest prep emails and the rest of the podcast production steps are still to come.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

I want to automate my podcast guest signup. When a guest books through Calendly, I want their details added to my guest tracker and the episode list, and an email alert sent to me. Before you build anything, ask me clarifying questions about my current boards and fields, then give me step-by-step instructions to build it in Make.
