Module 2: Connectors, Plugins & Real Workflows

Welcome to Module 2! You've mastered the fundamentals. Now it's time to connect Claude to your real tools and build workflows for your actual job.

What Changed

In Module 1, you worked with local files — reading, analyzing, and creating documents. That's powerful on its own.

Module 2 unlocks the next level: connecting Claude to the tools you already use (Slack, Notion, Google Calendar, HubSpot, and more), installing plugins that give Claude domain expertise for your specific role, and building a real workflow you'll use every week.

What You'll Learn

Prerequisites

You should complete Module 1 first. The skills you learned there (file exploration, working with files, agents, document creation) are the foundation for everything in Module 2.

You'll also want at least one external tool to connect — Slack, Notion, Google Calendar, Asana, or any of the supported services. Don't worry if you're not sure which one; Claude will help you pick in lesson 2.1.
