Setting Up the Pipeline

Wiring up the connectors and tools required to run a pre-meeting prep brief routine — configuring Calendly to capture LinkedIn URLs from bookings, installing both the Calendly and Apify MCP connections, and verifying that both are working before you build anything on top.
Before you build a routine, you set up the data sources. This chapter is the scaffolding phase — the unglamorous but essential work of making sure your tools are talking to each other. Calendly captures the booking and the LinkedIn URL. Apify provides the LinkedIn scraping capability. Once both are connected to Claude, the routine becomes possible.
When Claude tells you something is not available, it is worth asking it to look again. Tools that are not in the official Claude connector registry can often still be installed as custom MCPs. The first answer is not always the right one.
Update your Calendly booking form to require a LinkedIn URL. You can also collect additional context, such as meeting goals or topics to discuss.
Describe the automation you want to build to Claude and let it identify the required connectors and implementation approach.
Install and authorize the native Calendly connector through Claude.
If Apify is not listed as a native connector, configure it as a custom MCP integration using its MCP endpoint.
Run a simple test to confirm both Calendly and Apify are connected and returning data correctly before building the automation.
Ask Claude to generate a diagram of the workflow so you can verify the overall design before implementation.
Before building your automation, watch out for a few common mistakes. Avoiding these issues will make your setup more reliable and easier to maintain.
