Make Riverside sessions automatically with your Claude
Your own Claude makes, moves and deletes a Riverside session for every podcast booking, on your own Riverside account.
About 8 minutes.
What you need
Business, or your free Business trial. Your Riverside studio guest link saved on the Podcast card. And your own Claude, with your own Riverside account.
Connect Let's Sit Down to your Claude
Open letssitdown.com/account/ai and tap Make my key. Follow the Claude steps on that page. The article on connecting your own Claude walks through each tap.
Add Riverside's connector too
In Claude, add Riverside's connector, in the same place you added Let's Sit Down: Customize, then Connectors. Sign in with your own Riverside account.
Tick the box on the Podcast card
Open your account page. On the Podcast card, tick Make a Riverside session for each booking with my own Claude. Make sure your studio link is still in the box. Tap Save.
Set up the hourly task
In a Claude chat, ask Claude to set up a scheduled task that runs every hour with this instruction. Tap Copy and paste it in.
Check Let's Sit Down riverside_jobs. For each create job, make a scheduled Riverside event in my studio at the start and end times given with the guests invited, then call riverside_done with created and the session id. For each move job, move that session and call riverside_done with moved. For each delete job, delete the session and call riverside_done with deleted. If one fails, call riverside_done with failed and the reason.What happens from now on
Every hour, your Claude checks for podcast bookings. A new booking gets a scheduled session in your Riverside studio at the booking time, with the guests invited. A moved booking gets its session moved. A cancelled booking gets its session deleted.
Guests get their personal link
When the session is made, Riverside emails each guest their own personal join link. Your studio link still works for them too.
Check it's on
The Podcast card shows sessions made by your Claude. After your next podcast booking, open Riverside and look for the new session at that time.
- Everything runs on your own Riverside account and your own Claude. Nobody else's.
- If a session can't be made, your Claude reports it with the reason.
- Want to test it right away? Paste the same instruction into a normal Claude chat once.
