Summary:  Given an operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $c\in\mathcal{H}$, we consider operators $\Lambda_{A,c}$ defined on analytic functions $f$ by $\Lambda_{A,c} f = f(A)c$. Special cases of $\Lambda_{A,c}$ include vectorial Hankel operators, Carleson embeddings and weighted composition operators. For certain $A$, we determine conditions under which $\Lambda_{A,c}$ extends to an operator of Schatten von-Neumann class on the Hardy or Bergman space of the disc. These conditions involve only the action of $\Lambda_{A,c}$ on reproducing kernels and their derivatives. We also give corresponding results for operators on the Hardy space of the half-plane.
