Claude Cowork

What it is

Claude Cowork is a way to draft articles and posts with Claude (Anthropic’s AI) using ProPresence as the backing store. Claude needs an API key to talk to your account — this step generates one and shows you the configuration to paste into Cowork.

You only need this step if you actually use Cowork. Skip it otherwise.

Step-by-step

If you don’t have a Claude key yet

  1. Click Generate Claude API key.
  2. ProPresence creates a key starting with ppk_live_… and tags it with the purpose claude. Default scopes:
  3. articles:read, articles:write
  4. posts:read, posts:write, posts:publish
  5. Copy the key now. It will only be shown once. After you leave this screen, you’ll only see the masked prefix.
  6. Open the Cowork config snippet tab and copy the JSON block. Paste it into Cowork’s settings.

If you already have a key

You’ll see the masked prefix (e.g. ppk_live_a1b2c3d4****) and a Rotate key link. The config snippet is rendered with <paste your key> as a placeholder so you can re-copy the rest.

How posting through Cowork works

Open the How posting works card on the same screen. Two rules to remember:

Post type What to send What happens
Personal Include scheduled_at (ISO8601). Default: 8:00 AM in your timezone. Post is queued; publishes at that time via your personal LinkedIn token.
Brand (organization) Do NOT include scheduled_at. Push as a draft. Stays in Drafts for review. Adding scheduled_at fires the Make.com webhook immediately and publishes to the company page before you can review it.

This is the single most common cause of “wait, why did that brand post go live?” support tickets. Treat brand drafts as drafts.

Tips & gotchas

  • You can generate additional keys for other tools from Account → API access.
  • Rotate the key any time it’s exposed. Old keys are revoked instantly.
  • For full endpoint reference, see Integrations Guide → Claude Cowork setup.
