Turn a finished customer job into a reference story
Give Claude your own summary of a finished job, by company name and without people's names. It writes the story and drafts the request for the customer's approval with no recipient, without reading your email.

Where things are in Claude
- CustomizeConnectors In Claude's left sidebar: connect your email and files.
- /schedule Type it in a new Cowork task to run a prompt on a schedule.
- Scheduled In Claude's left sidebar: what runs, to pause or change it.
- Once for the whole company: your Microsoft admin approves Claude's Microsoft 365 connector and turns on its write tools, so Claude can save drafts and files. If connecting asks for an admin's approval, this is still to do: send them this step.
- Write a one-page summary of the job in a folder named after it, inside a Case studies folder in your Marketing folder: customer company, industry and country, their problem, what you did, the result, and any words they said about it, with people named by their role. No names, email addresses, phone numbers, prices or drawings.
- Connect Microsoft 365 under CustomizeConnectors, and in Cowork connect your Marketing folder in OneDrive or SharePoint (the one synced to this computer).
- Open Cowork, paste the prompt and name the job's folder.
- Add the recipient and their name to the approval email, fill the gaps, and send it yourself. Claude only drafts.
- Publish only after the customer approves in writing, and only what they approved.
Set this up on your computer: the Claude desktop app runs it.
