Claude

Use Claude when you want Drip Drop to power AI-assisted writing and analysis with Anthropic models. Claude is used for text generation features, not for sending messages directly to contacts.

Note
Claude is an AI provider, not an email, SMS, phone, or inbox integration.
  • You want AI-assisted template generation or template improvement in Drip Drop.
  • You want structured text analysis features backed by Anthropic models.
  • You want to choose a default Claude model for AI actions in your account.
  • Confirm you have Anthropic API access and a valid Anthropic API key.
  • Decide whether your team has a preferred Claude model or whether the default recommendation is fine.
  • Understand that model availability can depend on your Anthropic account, permissions, or billing status.
  1. Open Dashboard → Admin → Integrations.
  2. Click New Integrationand choose Claude.
  3. Enter the Anthropic API key.
  4. Save the provider.
  5. After the credentials validate, choose a default model from the model selector.

The Claude provider form only asks for the API key first. Once the provider is valid, Drip Drop loads available models and lets you save a default model for later AI actions.

Drip Drop fetches available models from Anthropic for this provider account and caches them for later use. The exact list depends on what the Anthropic account can access.

  • If Sonnet models are available, they are the recommended general-purpose choice in the current product flow.
  • If a specific model later becomes unavailable, a provider that was previously connected can still fail on that model even though the API key is valid.
  • The default model affects later AI actions at a high level, including text generation and template-related workflows that use this provider.
  • Template generation can create new email or text-message drafts from instructions.
  • Template improvement can revise existing drafts based on requested changes.
  • Text analysis can return structured results from a block of text.

These features rely on JSON-shaped responses under the hood, but the docs should stay user-focused: what admins and teammates get back, not the raw API format.

  • Create or copy the API key from the Anthropic console before connecting the provider.
  • Review Anthropic model availability if you expect a particular Claude model to appear in Drip Drop.

Helpful Anthropic references: API key management and model documentation.

API key and authentication problems
  • If the provider does not validate, confirm the Anthropic API key is correct and still active.
  • If the key looks right but access still fails, check whether the Anthropic account or workspace has billing or access restrictions.
Model availability problems
  • If no models appear, confirm the provider validated successfully and the Anthropic account has access to model listing.
  • If the expected model is missing, it may not be enabled for that Anthropic account or it may have been renamed or retired.
  • If a saved model later stops working, choose a different available model and retry the action.
Rate limits and provider errors
  • If AI actions fail intermittently, Anthropic rate limits or temporary service issues may be the cause.
  • If the provider returns permission or bad-request errors, re-check the API key and selected model rather than treating it like a generic network problem.
  • See Integrations for the shared provider setup flow and provider management basics.
  • Compare ChatGPT if you want a similar AI-provider workflow using OpenAI models instead of Anthropic models.
