Step 2: Connect Apify to Claude

  • Open Claude.
  • Go to Connectors / Integrations.
  • Connect your Apify account.
  • Authorize the connection.

Step 3: Choose the Platform

Decide where you want Claude to search for prospects.

Examples:

  • YouTube
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
  • X (Twitter)

You can search one platform or all of them together.

Step 4: Use This Prompt

Replace the text inside [ ] with your own business.

Prompt 1

Search across YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.

For every prospect, provide:

• Name
• Profile link
• What they do
• Why they're a good fit
• Best outreach platform
• Personalized first message

Return the results in a table.

Step 5: Let Claude Do the Research

Claude will automatically:

  • Search the selected platforms
  • Filter relevant prospects
  • Identify potential customers
  • Organize everything into one list

Step 6: Review the Results

Keep only prospects that match your ideal customer.

Remove anyone who isn't relevant.

Step 7: Personalize Your Outreach

Don't copy-paste the same message.

Instead, ask Claude:

Repeat for each prospect.

Step 8: Contact Your Prospects

Reach out through the platform Claude recommends.

Examples:

  • LinkedIn DM

  • Find real estate businesses.
  • Find dentists in India.

The more specific your prompt, the better the quality of prospects.

Pro Tips
