Use 12Bot in Claude & ChatGPT

Connect your workspace and manage leads, chats and automations by simply asking. Anything customer-facing needs your approval first.

Rolling out soon. The 12Bot connectors for Claude and ChatGPT are going through each store’s publishing and review process. Until 12Bot appears in their directories, the steps below may not be available in your account yet — check back soon or contact us for early access.

Overview

What the connector can do

The connector uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), the standard way AI assistants plug into business tools. It works on your behalf using your own 12Bot account and permissions.

Look things up

Search your knowledge base and read conversations, leads, connected channels and call history — just by asking.

Build flows

Browse templates, create draft flows, let 12Bot’s flow-builder AI build them from a plain-language request, and test with a dry run.

Comment automations

Create and manage Instagram and Facebook comment-to-DM automations, including the follower gate. New rules start paused.

Act with your approval

Send replies, place calls and publish flows — only after you approve each action in the 12Bot dashboard.

Get started

Connect in four steps

You need a 12Bot account, your 2FA code if enabled, and a Claude or ChatGPT plan that supports connectors.

Claude

01

Add 12Bot

Find 12Bot in Claude’s connector directory and add it (Settings → Connectors).

02

Sign in on 12Bot

Claude opens the 12Bot sign-in page. Log in with your normal 12Bot email and password — Claude never sees them.

03

Enter your 2FA code

If you turned on two-factor authentication, enter the code, then allow access.

04

Start chatting

Try: “List my open leads from this week.”

ChatGPT

01

Add 12Bot

In ChatGPT open Settings → Apps / Connectors, find 12Bot and add it.

02

Sign in on 12Bot

Log in on the 12Bot page that opens and enter your 2FA code if prompted, then allow access.

03

Enable it in a chat

Start a chat and turn on the 12Bot app for it.

04

Ask away

Try: “Show my latest conversations.”

If an app asks for a server URL, use https://mcp.12bot.io/mcp

Things to ask

Look things up

  • “Which leads came in today and what stage are they in?”
  • “Summarize the last conversation with this customer.”
  • “Search our knowledge base for the refund policy.”
  • “Which channels are connected, and are they all healthy?”

Build automations

  • “Create a flow that greets people who message “admission”, asks which course they want, and saves their phone number.”
  • “Run a test of that flow with the message “hi”.”
  • “Set up an Instagram comment automation: when someone comments “price”, DM them our price list.”
Stay in control

Approving actions

Drafts, searches and dry runs happen freely. Anything that affects real customers — replies, calls, publishing a flow, turning an automation on or changing a live one — needs your approval. New automations always start paused.

01

The assistant shows its plan

It tells you exactly what it wants to do — the message, flow, call or automation — and gives you an approval link.

02

Open the approval page

The link opens 12Bot’s approval page. Sign in if asked.

03

Review and approve

Check the details, then click “Approve this action”.

04

Paste the one-time code

Copy the approval code back into the chat. It works once and expires in about 10 minutes.

05

The action runs

The assistant retries with your code and the action goes through.

Privacy & security

Safe by design

Your password stays private

You sign in on 12Bot’s own page. The assistant never sees your password or your 12Bot login tokens — only limited, revocable session tokens.

Your role, your workspace

The assistant can only see and do what your 12Bot role allows, inside your own workspace. Connector activity is audit-logged.

Human approval for risky actions

Replies, calls, publishing flows and turning automations on all need your explicit one-time approval.

Disconnect anytime

See every linked app under Settings → Connected AI apps and disconnect any session instantly. Admins can switch AI assistants off for the whole workspace.
