Claude + Canva Social Post Service in 10 Phases

Role: you are a senior strategist for AI workflows who specializes in turning creator tools into income.

Context: I have just connected Claude to the Canva connector. My business is selling social media visuals to small local businesses.

Goal: link every capability of the connector to a concrete way to earn money, so I know which service to sell first.

Steps:
1. List every action the connected Canva connector offers, together with the plan it requires (free or paid).
2. For each action, write a one-line description and one sample prompt I can copy as is.
3. For each action, name the freelance service it supports and rate its effort-to-revenue ratio as low, medium or high.

Output:
- A table with the columns: Feature | Plan | Sample prompt | Use case | Effort-to-revenue
- Below it, the 3 actions with the highest revenue potential, each with a one-sentence reason.

Constraints:
- No generic filler.
- Include only features that really exist in the connected connector.
- Check plan requirements before you state them; if you cannot verify one, mark it as unverified instead of guessing.

Role: you are a brand strategist and a senior designer for social media.

Brand identity: take the tone, the color palette and the value proposition from [brand link]. If any of these is missing, ask me before you design anything.

Deliverable: one Instagram feed post, 1080 x 1080.

Audience: [target audience]. One single objective, pick only one: [bookings / sign-ups / awareness].

Copy rules:
- Headline: 7 words or fewer.
- Supporting line: 12 words or fewer.
- Exactly one call to action.
- Everything must be readable on a phone in less than 2 seconds.

Design rules: stay within the brand palette, use at most 2 fonts, keep a clear focal hierarchy and leave safe margins for the feed crop.

Steps:
1. Summarize the brief in 2 lines and point out any input that is missing.
2. Suggest 4 clearly different directions: bold-graphic, minimal, photo-led and playful. For each one give a headline and a one-line reason.
3. Stop and wait until I choose a direction before you create the final design.

Output: first the 4 directions as text; after my choice, render the selected direction in Canva.

Role: you are a design QA editor.

Task: make targeted changes to design number [design number], and to no other design.

Changes to apply: [list every change explicitly].

Guardrails:
- Leave the grid, spacing, alignment and brand colors untouched on every element I have not named.
- Do not reflow the layout.

Steps:
1. Find each element I named and apply only the change listed for it.
2. Check mobile readability: at thumbnail size the headline must be readable in under 2 seconds.
3. Show a before/after summary of everything you changed.

Output: a confirmation of the changes, plus 3 caption options that fit the final visual. Do not save until I approve.

This is a Canva template I have customized: [template URL]

Before you change anything, take it apart completely and describe:
- Layout structure: zones, columns and the visual flow
- Color palette: every color it uses
- Font hierarchy: heading, subheading and body, with weight and style for each
- The position of every element
- The design principles that make this template work

Present the analysis with one labelled section per point above.

Analysis only: do NOT make any changes at this stage.

Role: you are a social media manager who controls publishing.

Pipeline:
1. Export the finished design from Canva and send the Canva export domain URLs straight to [auto-posting service]. Do not host the files anywhere else.
2. Write a separate caption for each network:
   - Instagram: hook first, 5-7 hashtags
   - Facebook: longer and conversational
   - LinkedIn: professional, no hashtag spam
3. Show me the connected accounts and ask me two things: which of them should receive the post, and whether it goes out immediately or is queued for the next optimal slot.

Hard stop: publish nothing until I have explicitly confirmed both the captions and the accounts.

Role: you are a content director.

Input:
- Business: [business]
- Niche: [niche]
- Goal for the next 30 days: [goal]

Task: build an Instagram plan for 7 days.

Use a table with one row per day and these columns, in this order:
- Day
- Pillar: pick from educational / social proof / behind-the-scenes / promotional / engagement
- Format: pick from post / carousel / story / reel cover
- Working headline
- Canva visual brief (one line)
- Main CTA

Balance rules:
- No more than 2 promotional days.
- At least 2 educational days.
- Mix the formats across the week.

Constraint: each visual brief must be detailed enough to paste directly into a single-post design brief without changes.

Publish this Canva design on [platform] for the account [client account].

Schedule: [day] at [time] [timezone]

Rewrite the caption for each platform:
- Instagram: conversational tone, 3-5 hashtags, finish with a question
- Facebook: friendly tone, finish with a question, zero hashtags
- LinkedIn: tone that is professional and focused on business value, zero hashtags

Starting caption notes: [paste your raw caption notes]

If the platform, account or schedule is missing, ask me before scheduling. Once the post is scheduled, confirm the post title, the platform, the scheduled time and the exact caption that will go live.

Business: [business name], a [business type] based in [location]. Audience: [audience].

Plan seven days of Instagram content for this business.

For every day, give:
- Theme of the content
- Objective of the post: awareness, engagement or conversion
- Headline text of fewer than 8 words
- Visual direction, covering colors, mood, style and what the image shows
- Caption copy, 50-100 words, optimized for Instagram
- Call to action

Follow this content mix exactly:
- Day 1: an educational tip (builds trust)
- Day 2: a product or service feature (shows the offer)
- Day 3: behind the scenes (builds connection)
- Day 4: a customer testimonial (builds credibility)
- Day 5: a promotional offer (drives sales)
- Day 6: a community or local connection (builds belonging)
- Day 7: an engagement question or poll (drives comments)

Present everything as a table, finished to the point that I can send it to the client for approval without editing anything.

The export is blocked because the Canva export domain is not on the allow list. Do not try to download the file directly; give me the Canva public sharing link for the design instead.

In this design, use the image I uploaded to Canva with the file name [exact file name] for this role: [background / hero image / logo]. If you cannot find a file with that exact name, tell me instead of using a different image.
