Hey, GTM Engineers,
The vast majority of marketers and LinkedIn Influencers repurpose content.
Repurposing content that performs well can supercharge audience growth, reach, and ROI on the time you spent developing that content.
However, it takes time to create variations of your content.
So, let’s get down to building some Clay automations & prompts that help you do this at scale whenever you drop a new post or piece of content.
I’ll be setting this up both for Claymation and The Augmented Seller.

1. Setup Webhook Monitor in Clay
Our goal is to automatically send a new post from Beehiiv into Clay to create additional content to repurpose in Clay.
We first need a destination (Webhook URL) in Clay to send the data.
Create a new ‘Monitor Webhook’ Table
Copy Webhook URL (we’ll use this in Beehiiv next)
Creating a Monitor Webhook Table in Clay
2. Webhook Send in beehiiv
Now we need to setup the beehiiv side of the Webhook.
Go to Settings
Go to Webhooks
Create Webhook
Use the Webhook URL from the previous step
Fill out the relevant fields
Send test Webhook

3. Table Housekeeping
There’s a couple of things I like to do on this front
Breakout columns so it’s easier to see the data I want to use
Create a Workbook and add the table to it (makes it easy to organize related automation tables)
Color code columns
4. Research
Perplexity.ai is my go to for research & prompt hacking. If you’re not familiar with what makes a LinkedIn or X post good, then you can ask it and you get something back like this:

You can also have it continue by typing in “Add 10 more best practices” or continue to ask it questions about the content.
