How to Automate Weekly Client Performance Reports Using Claude + ZaneConnect

If you run a performance marketing agency, you know the drill. Every Monday someone pulls numbers from three platforms, calculates deltas, writes observations, and formats a report. Multiply that by your number of accounts and you're losing a full day every week to work that should not require a human.

This workflow eliminates that entirely.

What Gets Delivered

A Claude Routine fires every Monday at 08:00 and emails a fully formatted performance report for any client — automatically. The report covers:

• ✓Week-over-week spend, leads, and CPA across Meta and Google with a delta table

• ✓Best campaigns ranked by leads generated — what to scale and why

• ✓Underperformers — what to pause and the root cause

• ✓8 automated flags: tracking gaps, impression share collapse, CTR drop, CPA spike, Meta going dark, conversion inflation, zero-conversion search terms, change log correlation

• ✓Budget pacing against monthly target with projected month-end figure

• ✓Five prioritized actions for the week ahead with named owner

• ✓Watchlist of campaigns to re-check next Monday

The Stack

1

Claude Routines

Orchestrates the entire workflow on a Monday schedule. Runs unattended — no prompts required.

2

ZaneConnect MCP

Pulls live data from Meta Ads, Google Ads, and GA4 via direct API connections.

3

Zapier MCP

Sends the fully formatted HTML email via Gmail. One tool call — no Zaps to build.

4

Google Drive MCP

Saves a structured JSON checkpoint between phases. Prevents timeouts and acts as a data backup.

Before You Start

• ✓Claude Pro with Routines access

• ✓ZaneConnect connected to your Meta, Google Ads, and GA4 accounts

• ✓Zapier account — free tier is enough

• ✓Gmail authorized in Zapier under App Connections

• ✓Zapier MCP connected to Claude (Settings → Integrations → Add → Zapier)

• ✓Google Drive MCP connected to Claude (Settings → Integrations → Add → Google Drive)

• ✓A folder in Google Drive named exactly: ZaneConnect Reports

One-Time Setup — 3 Steps

Step 01

Authorize Gmail in Zapier

Go to zapier.com → App Connections → Add connection → Gmail and authorize the email you want to send from. This is the only step that requires a browser — Gmail OAuth cannot be automated.

Step 02

Create a New Routine in Claude

Go to Claude → Routines → New Routine. Set the schedule to Every Monday at 08:00 in your local time zone. Paste the master prompt from the section below into the Instructions field.

Step 03

Fill the Config Block

At the top of the master prompt, update these 6 lines only. Everything else stays identical across all clients.

Config Block

CLIENT_NAME: "Your Client Name"CAMPAIGN_FILTER: []MONTHLY_BUDGET: 10000CURRENCY: "USD"REPORT_EMAIL: "recipient@example.com"SENDER_EMAIL: "you@youragency.com"

Adding a Second Client

Duplicate the routine. Change the 6 config lines. Run a manual test. Done. One Zapier Gmail connection handles all clients — no additional Zapier setup per client.

How It Works

The routine splits into two phases with a hard checkpoint between them. This prevents stream timeouts — the most common failure mode when combining 11 API calls with full HTML email generation in a single turn.

Phase 1 — Data & Analysis

• ←Self-setup: Checks Zapier's Gmail send action is ready. Enables it if not found.

• ←Account discovery: Finds your client's Meta, Google Ads, and GA4 accounts by name. No hardcoded IDs.

• ←Meta pull: Account and campaign insights for last 7 days and prior 7 days.

• ←Google Ads pull: 7-parallel-query account summary, campaigns, top 20 search terms, 14-day change log.

• ←GA4 pull: Period comparison, channel breakdown, top landing pages from paid sources.

• ←8 automated flags: Click/session discrepancy, conversion inflation, Meta dark, impression share collapse, CTR drop, CPA spike, zero-conversion terms, change log correlation.

• ←Checkpoint save: All data + narrative written to JSON in Google Drive. Routine prints summary and stops.

Phase 2 — Report & Send

• ←Load: Reads the JSON from Drive. No further ZaneConnect API calls in this phase.

• ←Build: Populates the HTML email template — delta colors, pacing bar, badge styling, narrative text.

• ←Send: Calls Zapier → Gmail. On failure, saves the HTML to Drive automatically as a backup.

8 Automated Flags

Every run checks these conditions. Each flag includes the exact numbers and a plain-English explanation.

🔴 Critical — act now ⚠ Warning — review this week ℹ Info — worth noting

Google clicks vs GA4 sessions gap >20%

Auto-tagging or GA4 tag broken. Conversion data unreliable. Fix before budget decisions.

Conversion event inflation

More than 3 conversions per paid session. Event is firing multiple times. Audit GTM trigger.

Meta completely dark

Zero spend across all campaigns. Confirm intentional pause or investigate budget/payment issue.

Google impression share below 20%

Campaigns severely throttled. Budget cap or bid floor issue — daily spend vs cap flagged.

CTR dropped more than 30% WoW

Match type change, new competitor, or ad copy issue. Change log checked for correlation.

CPA increased more than 50% WoW

Bid strategy, search term mix, or landing page. Specific campaigns identified.

Zero-conversion search terms burning budget

Top negative keyword candidates listed with spend per term.

Change log correlation

Account changes within 3 days of a >30% metric shift are flagged and correlated.

Time Saved Per Client Per Week

Scales with your client count

5 clients = 10 hours saved. 10 clients = 20 hours saved. The time cost does not grow with the number of accounts — each routine runs independently.

The Master Prompt

Copy everything below and paste it into the Claude Routine Instructions field. Only edit the 6 lines in the CONFIGURATION block at the top.

Master Prompt — paste into Claude Routines Instructions Claude Routines

You are the ZaneConnect Weekly Performance Analyst for Zane Media. Every Monday morning you produce one complete performance report for the client configured below. You pull live data via ZaneConnect MCP, save a structured checkpoint to Google Drive, generate a fully formatted HTML email, and deliver it via Zapier → Gmail. Read this entire prompt before executing. Then run each phase in order without skipping. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CONFIGURATION ← only edit this block per client ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CLIENT_NAME: "client name" CAMPAIGN_FILTER: [] CURRENCY: "AED" REPORT_EMAIL: "firas@zanemediaco.com" SENDER_EMAIL: "firas@zanemediaco.com" CAMPAIGN_FILTER: [] = include all active and recently paused campaigns found for this client. To restrict scope, list name substrings: ["ATM 2026", "Seamless"] Only campaigns whose names contain at least one substring will be included. Use this when one ad account serves multiple clients or events. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STANDING RULES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Never fabricate a number. If any source returns an error, write "UNAVAILABLE — [source] error: [message]" for that section and continue. 2. WoW always means last 7 days vs the prior 7 days. Never month-over-month unless the client config explicitly overrides this. 3. Budget pacing uses calendar-day math: pacing_gap = (days_elapsed / days_in_month) − (spend_mtd / MONTHLY_BUDGET) Positive gap = underpacing. Negative gap = overpacing. 4. Phase 1 must complete and save its checkpoint to Drive before any HTML is written. Never merge phases into a single turn. 5. Flag, do not decide. All recommendations are prioritized suggestions. The human reviews and approves before acting. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 0 — SELF-SETUP (runs once, skipped on repeat runs) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before pulling any data, verify the email delivery action is ready. STEP 0A — Check Zapier Gmail action Tool: Zapier MCP → list_enabled_zapier_actions params: { app: "gmail" } Scan the results for any action whose name or description includes "Send Email" or "Send". If a Gmail send action is found: Assign its exact action key to: ZAPIER_GMAIL_ACTION Print: "Zapier Gmail send action ready: [ZAPIER_GMAIL_ACTION]" Skip Step 0B. If no Gmail send action is found: Proceed to Step 0B. STEP 0B — Enable Gmail send (only if 0A found nothing) Tool: Zapier MCP → enable_zapier_action params: { app: "gmail", action: "send_email" } After enabling, repeat Step 0A to confirm and assign ZAPIER_GMAIL_ACTION. If still not found after enabling: Tool: Zapier MCP → auto_provision_mcp Then repeat Step 0A once more. If Gmail send is still unavailable after all attempts: Print: "SETUP FAILED — Gmail send action could not be enabled. Go to zapier.com/mcp → connect Gmail → re-run this routine." STOP. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 1 — ACCOUNT DISCOVERY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Do not use hardcoded IDs. Discover all account IDs from CLIENT_NAME. STEP 1A — Find Meta account Tool: ZaneConnectMCP → get_ad_accounts From results, find the account whose name best matches CLIENT_NAME. If multiple candidates exist, select the one with the highest recent spend. Assign to: META_ACCOUNT_ID STEP 1B — Find Google Ads account Tool: ZaneConnectMCP → google_ads_list_accounts Find the account whose name best matches CLIENT_NAME. Assign customer_id → GOOGLE_CUSTOMER_ID Assign manager_id → GOOGLE_MANAGER_ID STEP 1C — Find GA4 property Tool: ZaneConnectMCP → google_analytics_list_properties Find the property whose name best matches CLIENT_NAME. Assign to: GA4_PROPERTY_ID STEP 1D — Log discovery Print exactly: "Accounts resolved for [CLIENT_NAME]: Meta: [META_ACCOUNT_ID] ([account name]) Google Ads: [GOOGLE_CUSTOMER_ID] under [GOOGLE_MANAGER_ID] ([account name]) GA4: [GA4_PROPERTY_ID] ([property name])" If any account is not found, print: "WARNING: No [platform] account matched [CLIENT_NAME]. That platform's data will be marked UNAVAILABLE in the report." Continue with whatever accounts were found. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 1 — DATA COLLECTION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STEP 2 — META ADS 2A.

FLAG 5 — CTR drop google_ctr_last = from google_campaigns_last (compute same way) ctr_change = (google_ctr_this − google_ctr_last) / google_ctr_last × 100 If ctr_change < −30: WARNING / Google / "CTR dropped [ctr_change]% WoW ([google_ctr_last]% → [google_ctr_this]%). Check change log for keyword match type edits or new competitor pressure." FLAG 6 — CPA spike If google_leads_this > 0 AND google_cpa_this > google_cpa_last × 1.5: WARNING / Google / "CPA increased [pct]% WoW ([CURRENCY] [google_cpa_last] → [CURRENCY] [google_cpa_this]).

Troubleshooting

Wrong account found in Phase 1

The CLIENT_NAME doesn't closely match the account name in your ad platform. Check the exact account name in Meta Business Manager or Google Ads and update the config.

Stream timeout

Click Run Now to retry. Re-running is always safe — the checkpoint is overwritten each attempt.

Email fails to send

The HTML is saved automatically to Drive as [client]-[date]-UNSENT.html. Download and send manually. Then go to zapier.com → App Connections to reconnect Gmail if the OAuth token expired.

GA4 shows inflated conversions

The conversion event is firing multiple times per session. Go to GTM and set the trigger to fire once per page or once per session — not on every DOM change.

Meta shows zero spend

Confirm in Meta Ads Manager whether campaigns are intentionally paused, or check for a budget exhaustion or payment method issue.
