How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts with Claude
You are working in Claude when an idea for a LinkedIn post comes up. Instead of copying it into another editor, you can turn it into a Postiv draft, review the post, and ask Claude to schedule it.
To schedule LinkedIn posts with Claude, connect Postiv through MCP, create a draft for the right profile, review the final copy, and give Claude a date, time, and time zone. Then check the scheduled post in Postiv's calendar.
This guide follows one post from draft to calendar entry. If you have not connected the accounts yet, start with How to Connect Claude to LinkedIn, then come back here.

Before you start
You need a Postiv workspace, the intended LinkedIn profile or Company Page connected to it, and Postiv's LinkedIn MCP enabled in Claude. The connector needs permission to create and schedule posts, and you need permission to manage the selected profile.
The setup article covers connecting the accounts and testing access. There is no need to repeat that setup for every post.
1. Choose the LinkedIn profile and create a draft
Start with an idea you have already discussed, source notes, or finished copy. Ask Claude to save a draft through Postiv. A paragraph in the chat is not yet a saved post.
If you manage multiple profiles, first ask Claude to list the connected LinkedIn profiles and Company Pages. Choose the exact target before drafting, especially when your workspace includes teammates or clients.
The following requests are examples you can adapt, not verbatim transcripts of the video:
Use Postiv to list the LinkedIn profiles and Company Pages available in my workspace. Do not create or schedule anything yet.
After choosing the target:
Turn the idea we just discussed into a LinkedIn post for [exact profile name]. Use the facts from this conversation and my saved writing style. Save it as a Postiv draft and show me the full text. Do not schedule it yet.
For finished copy, ask Claude to save the supplied text unchanged. Either way, check that it reports a saved Postiv draft, not just a suggested post.
2. Review the post inside Claude
The walkthrough shows a LinkedIn-style preview inside Claude. Read the full post and check the profile name, factual claims, links, and any attached media before scheduling.

You can revise the draft conversationally:
Shorten the opening to two lines and keep the concrete example. Update the existing Postiv draft, show me the revised text, and leave it unscheduled.
Make sure the saved draft contains your latest changes. If your Claude client does not display the inline card, ask for the full saved post text and review it in Postiv before continuing.
3. Schedule it for an exact date and time
In the video, the scheduling request uses tomorrow at 4 p.m. For your own posts, include an exact date and time zone so the intended publishing time is clear.
Schedule the draft I just reviewed for [exact profile name] on [day month year] at [time] in [time zone, such as Europe/Amsterdam]. Use the latest saved version. Tell me the scheduled date, local time, target profile, and whether any approval is still required.
Replace the brackets before sending. Choose a time at least two minutes in the future, which is the minimum for this Postiv MCP scheduling workflow.
Scheduling places the post in Postiv's publishing queue; it does not publish immediately. If Claude reports that approval is required, the post still needs the configured approvers. Your review in the conversation does not bypass that workflow.
4. Confirm the post in Postiv's calendar
Open Postiv's calendar and find the date you requested. In the video, the newly created post appears at the selected time.
The calendar view at 4:34 in the walkthrough, before opening the scheduled post.
Check these details before considering the task complete:
- Profile: the correct person or Company Page.
- Content: the final draft you reviewed, including any media.
- Time: the intended date and time, accounting for the calendar's displayed time zone.
- Status: scheduled, or still waiting for approval.
If you cannot find it, check the selected profile and date, then ask Claude to retrieve the existing post and confirm its status. Avoid creating another copy until you know whether the first scheduling request succeeded.
If you need to change the scheduled post
To move the time, ask Claude to reschedule the existing post with a new date, time, and time zone. Confirm the updated calendar entry afterward.
To change the copy, first ask Claude to unschedule the post and keep it as a draft. Update and review that draft, then schedule it again. This avoids trying to edit a post while it is already in the publishing queue.
If Claude can read your workspace but cannot save or schedule, check the API key's permissions in Postiv's Settings > Integrations. The setup guide's troubleshooting section covers connection and permission problems. Keep your API key and full connector URL private.
You now have a repeatable path from an idea in Claude to a reviewed post in your calendar. To compare this with scheduling directly on LinkedIn or inside Postiv, see How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts.
