Hey, GTM Engineers,

The vast majority of marketers and LinkedIn Influencers repurpose content.

Repurposing content that performs well can supercharge audience growth, reach, and ROI on the time you spent developing that content.

However, it takes time to create variations of your content.

So, let’s get down to building some Clay automations & prompts that help you do this at scale whenever you drop a new post or piece of content.

I’ll be setting this up both for [Claymation](http://www.claymation.io/?utm_source=www.claymation.io&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-viral-content-automator) and [The Augmented Seller](http://www.theaugmentedseller.com/?utm_source=www.claymation.io&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-viral-content-automator).

## **The 5 Step Viral Content Engine Claybook**

### **1\. Setup Webhook Monitor in Clay**

Our goal is to automatically send a new post from Beehiiv into Clay to create additional content to repurpose in Clay.

We first need a destination (Webhook URL) in Clay to send the data.

1.  Create a new ‘Monitor Webhook’ Table
    
2.  Copy Webhook URL (we’ll use this in Beehiiv next)

Creating a Monitor Webhook Table in Clay

### **2\. Webhook Send in beehiiv**

Now we need to setup the beehiiv side of the Webhook.

1.  Go to Settings
    
2.  Go to Webhooks
    
3.  Create Webhook
    
4.  Use the Webhook URL from the previous step
    
5.  Fill out the relevant fields
    
6.  Send test Webhook

### **3\. Table Housekeeping**

There’s a couple of things I like to do on this front

-   Breakout columns so it’s easier to see the data I want to use
    
-   Create a Workbook and add the table to it (makes it easy to organize related automation tables)
    
-   Color code columns
