Search Skool community posts with Claude and Google Docs analysis

How it works

1. Form Trigger accepts a question and optional settings (folder ID, search depth)
2. Cookie Validation checks if Skool session is still active
3. BuildId Extraction dynamically extracts Skool's build ID from homepage
4. Keyword Extraction uses Claude Haiku to extract 1-2 search keywords
5. Multi-Page Search fetches 1-10 pages of Skool search results
6. Post Aggregation collects all posts with content and comments
7. AI Analysis uses Claude Sonnet to analyze posts and answer your question
8. Google Doc Report creates a detailed research document in your Drive
9. HTML Response returns a beautiful summary page
