Substack stats report in Codex
Codex used Computer Use to open the author's Substack dashboard and pull figures for every published post into a newsletter report.
The author uses Codex daily for reports, editable designs, video editing and this newsletter, which still needed plenty of corrections.
Overview
How it was set up
Codex desktop app with a project folder, GPT-6 Astra model, and the Computer Use plugin (server and skill enabled) for browser clicks.
Worth knowing
Newsletter output still took plenty of corrections. Full access permissions should be limited to what the job needs and checked afterward.
A prompt to start from
Open my [Substack dashboard], pull the figures for every published post, and build a report in this project folder. Check what saved before finishing.Written by Agentic Feats from the source. Not the author's exact prompt.
