Managing social media analytics and content calendars across multiple platforms can eat up hours of your week. Usually, tracking numbers means paying for expensive third-party tools or manually logging into YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn every single day to copy and paste metrics into a spreadsheet.

You can automate this entire workflow directly inside Claude Co-Work without buying extra software or connectors. By pairing Claude’s native browser control with a scheduled task and Notion, you can build an automated, multi platform social media manager that updates itself every morning.

Here is how to set up your automated dashboard step by step:

1. Create Your Documentation Hub in Notion 

Before running any automation, set up a central Notion database. This acts as your AI assistant’s memory hub and dashboard storage so it does not have to keep everything in short term context. Create three primary sections:

• Performance: Platform metrics (followers, reach, engagement, link clicks).

• Content Calendar: Upcoming video topics and status.

• Trends & Ideas: Industry updates and daily content ideas.

2. Enable Claude CoWork MCP on Google Chrome 

Instead of using complex API connectors, let Claude use browser automation to grab metrics naturally:

• Open Claude CoWork and connect the Model Context Protocol (MCP) browser extension for Google Chrome.

• Make sure you are logged into your executive’s social accounts (YouTube Studio, Instagram Insights, LinkedIn Analytics) on Chrome.

3. Set Up a Scheduled Daily Task 

To save your Claude usage tokens and avoid constant manual triggers, schedule a automated daily run (like every morning at 9:00 AM):

• Instruct Claude to read your existing Notion snapshot.

• Direct Claude to open Chrome, navigate to each social media channel’s backend, and capture current numbers via automated screenshots or direct scraping.

• Have Claude cross check your Notion content calendar to fetch upcoming scheduled posts.

• Direct it to run quick web searches for trending news in your niche to auto generate content ideas for the day.

4. Auto Write Results Back to Notion 

Have Claude format the extracted data and save it back into your Notion database. This creates a historical record of account growth and gives you an easy dashboard to view on your phone while on the go.

By handing off data collection to Claude Co-Work, you shift from spending hours taking screenshots and filling out spreadsheets to acting as a strategic social manager who simply reviews the numbers and executes fresh content ideas.
