Who came back
Every person gets their own link to this page. Journey shows who opened it, when, and who came back.
One came back three times. One opened it once. Two haven't opened it yet.
You send it. Then you guess.
Weekly updates get lost in long email threads.
Your client doesn't see how much work is happening.
Feedback on candidates arrives late or not at all.

The prompt for Claude
ChatGPT coming soonBuild a weekly search update page in Journey for the [ROLE] search at [CLIENT]. Include pipeline numbers, what we're hearing from the market, three candidates to watch and the decisions we need from them. Make a link for each person on the client's team.
Why send a search update with Journey
Searches slow down when the client stops reading updates. One page you update each week, with a link per client contact, shows you when that starts to happen.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I update the same page each week?
Yes. Edit it and every link shows the latest update.
Can I keep candidate names private?
Yes. Add an email gate, or a password in the Journey app, before anything opens.
Can I control who opens it?
Yes. Require an NDA, an email or a password, set the link to expire, or limit it to approved emails and domains.
What does Claude do, and what does Journey do?
Claude drafts the search update and builds the page. Journey hosts it, gives each person their own link, applies the gates and turns opens, time and clicks into signals you can ask Claude about.
