Connect Flipsnack to Claude to create and manage flipbooks from a chat

Connect Flipsnack from Claude's Connectors, then create, share and track flipbooks from a chat

Overview

Flipsnack is an Anthropic-verified connector in the Claude marketplace. To connect it, open Customize > Connectors in Claude, find Flipsnack and sign in with your Flipsnack account. Claude can then create flipbooks from PDF links, manage your flipbooks, share them and pull their statistics from inside a chat.

👥 Where Flipsnack in Claude is helpful
  • Marketing: Turn a PDF URL into a live flipbook link while Claude writes the promotional email in the same chat.
  • Sales: Pull reader statistics for a product catalog right before a client call to see what the client has read.

You need no API key: you sign in with your Flipsnack account. You can also add Flipsnack from the Claude connector directory. The Flipsnack listing in the Claude marketplace shows what the connector does.

Requirements

  • Plan and permissions: Flipsnack workspace admin access on a paid Flipsnack plan. On Claude Team and Enterprise, an Owner enables the connector for the organization first: about roles

  • Select Connectors and turn Flipsnack on.

The Connectors menu in a Claude chat with Flipsnack turned on

  • Ask in plain words, for example: List my last 10 flipbooks and their views, or Give me the embed code for my spring catalog.

Note: Each Flipsnack action has its own setting under Tool permissions on the connector page, and every action starts on Needs approval. Keep Needs approval on for write and delete actions, so Claude asks you before it creates, changes or deletes anything.

Supported actions and commands

Once connected, Claude can:

  • Create flipbooks: Create a flipbook from a PDF at a public URL. Claude returns the flipbook details, including its link. Example prompt: “Create a flipbook from this PDF link and give me the share link.”
  • Manage and search flipbooks: List your flipbooks, filter them by status or folder, or open the full details of one flipbook. Example prompt: “List my draft flipbooks in the Catalogs folder.”
  • Update details: Change the title, description or visibility of a flipbook. Example prompt: “Rename my Spring catalog to Spring 2027 catalog.”
  • Generate embed codes: Get the iframe code for a flipbook, at a fixed size or responsive. Example prompt: “Give me a responsive embed code for my Spring catalog.”
  • Share by email: Send a flipbook to a list of email addresses. Example prompt: “Email my Spring catalog to anna@example.com and tom@example.com.”
  • Manage reader access: See and change who can read a private flipbook. Example prompt: “Who can read my Price list flipbook? Add sam@example.com.”
  • Retrieve statistics: Get account-wide statistics, statistics for one flipbook, or reader-level statistics. Example prompt: “How many views did my account get last month?”
  • Delete flipbooks: Move a flipbook you no longer need to the trash. Example prompt: “Move my Old promo flipbook to the trash.”

Caution: Claude cannot convert a file you upload into the chat. Give it a public link to the PDF instead.

Troubleshooting

  • I cannot find Flipsnack in the connector directory: Search for Flipsnack in Customize > Connectors, or open the Flipsnack page in the Claude directory. On Claude Team and Enterprise, your Owner must enable Flipsnack first.
  • Claude does not use Flipsnack in my chat: Click + in the message box, select Connectors and check that Flipsnack is on.
  • Claude cannot find my flipbook: Check that the flipbook is in the workspace your Flipsnack login opens by default. The connector works in that workspace only.
  • I get an authentication error: Go to Customize > Connectors, remove Flipsnack, and add it again with the steps above.
