What can Claude Cowork do on Listmonk?
On Listmonk, Claude Cowork can create and schedule email campaigns to a list on your Listmonk. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text and Image posts
Listmonk takes text and image through ClipSpeed. Image: images by URL inside the email.
Limits checked at booking
the title is the email subject. Titles are required and cap at 200.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Claude Cowork books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Listmonk post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Claude Cowork shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best moment's hook on Listmonk with a link to the clip. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on Listmonk are at least 240 minutes apart, up to 2 a day. After a post goes out, Claude Cowork can read back views and engagement where Listmonk provides them.
How does Claude Cowork post to Listmonk through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Claude Cowork makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Listmonk channel
Ask Claude Cowork whether Listmonk is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Listmonk accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Claude Cowork drafts within Listmonk's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.

Listmonk limits and gotchas to know
Listmonk enforces a few rules that Claude Cowork and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- Email is unforgiving: a sent campaign cannot be recalled. Use preview and a test list.
- Listmonk is self-hosted; you connect your own instance with an API user.
- Listmonk is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it posts.
- Pacing is deliberately tight: two campaigns a day four hours apart.
- Templates and personalisation fields are planned.
| Rule | Listmonk |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image |
| Text limit | the title is the email subject |
| Title | 200 characters, required |
| Links in the caption | Kept |
| Pacing | Planned: Text posts on Listmonk are at least 240 minutes apart, up to 2 a day. |
| Formats | Image: images by URL inside the email. Aspect: any |
| Status | On the roadmap; described here, not yet bookable |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Claude Cowork does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Claude Cowork picks by score, writes the post from the transcript, and books the best moments as links on Listmonk. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Claude Cowork shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on Listmonk. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Claude Cowork can make an image with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; links are kept clickable.
