Objective case when noun is subject of infinitive

I'll have Claire and me help immediately.

I suspect we use the objective case here, as 'help' is an infinitive... Can someone please confirm.

The objective case is correct, but it's not natural to say "I'll have me do it."

You could say, "I'll assign Claire and myself to help immediately."

"I'll have him/them do it immediately" is a clear example of the objective case.
