How to do it
- Draft from the approved case study Give Claude Desktop the approved case study; it drafts LinkedIn and X posts that only use approved quotes and figures.
- Lock the facts Brand memory lists which customers are public and which figures are cleared, and guardrails block names on the banned list.
- Two-step approval On Pro, require the customer marketer and the account owner to approve. Share the dry-run preview with the customer for their okay.
- Record the sign-off The audit log records every approval with a timestamp, useful when someone asks later who cleared a post.

Proof needs permission
Customer stories work because they are real. That means every detail in the post has to be something the customer agreed to publish. Agents are helpful here because they draft from the approved source instead of from memory, and because they can produce several angles from one case study. The approval step is what protects the relationship.
Setup
- Connect LinkedIn and X.
- Add a public-customers list and cleared figures to brand memory. Put customers who are not public in banned topics.
- Draft from Claude Desktop or ChatGPT, using the case study post template and the customer testimonial template.
- Decide whether you need two reviewers. Multi-reviewer approvals are on Pro and Agency; see approving posts.
Permissions
The customer story agent gets draft only. Scheduling can be done by the approver, because story posts often need to line up with the customer's own announcement. Never promote this agent to auto-publish; stories involve another company's name.
Measuring impact
Customer stories rarely win on likes. Measure them by what sales and success teams do with them: tag the link with the UTM builder and watch visits to the case study page. Per-post metrics show reach where available. Ask your sales team whether prospects mention the story.
Pitfalls
- Numbers that drift. Tell the agent to use figures exactly as written in the case study. Reviewers should check each one.
- Quotes shortened out of context. Keep quotes whole or get the customer to approve the cut.
- Timing. Coordinate with the customer's comms team so both posts go out close together; the audit log shows exactly when yours went out.
