Important Considerations

  • Authorization is one-time per client. Once connected, Claude keeps access until you revoke it.
  • One instance of Claude can be connected to one Thinkific site only.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to reconnect every time I start a new conversation?

No. Authorization is one-time. In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, you might need to turn the connector on per conversation from the + panel, but you don't need to re-authorize with Thinkific each time.

How do I know the connection worked?

Ask Claude something about your school — for example, "List my courses" or "What school am I connected to?" If the connector is active, Claude returns your school data. If not, see Troubleshooting the Thinkific connector for Claude.

Can I connect multiple Thinkific sites to one Claude instance?

No, at the moment, one instance of Claude can be connected to one Thinkific site only.
