TL;DR: You can now connect your Ignite Funnels account directly to Claude, the AI assistant from Anthropic. It takes about five minutes, needs no API keys or code, and lets you look up contacts, check your pipeline, review appointments and more just by asking in plain English.

Why connect Ignite Funnels to Claude?

Most business owners don't have a CRM problem. They have a time problem. The data you need is already sitting in Ignite Funnels: who enquired this week, which deals are stuck, who hasn't been followed up. Getting to it means clicking through filters, tabs and reports.

Once Ignite Funnels is connected to Claude, you just ask. Claude reads your CRM and, with your permission, can update it too. Think of it as a sharp assistant who already knows your account inside out.

Here are a few things you can ask once you're connected:

• "Show me every lead that came in this week and where they came from."
• "Which opportunities in my sales pipeline haven't moved in 14 days?"
• "What appointments do I have tomorrow, and what do I know about each person?"
• "Tag everyone who attended Saturday's webinar as webinar-attended."
• "Draft a friendly follow-up for contacts tagged quote-sent who haven't replied."

What you need before you start

• A Claude account at claude.ai (Free, Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise).
• Your Ignite Funnels login, the same email and password you use for your dashboard.
• Admin access to the Ignite Funnels account you want to connect. If you can't see your business during sign-in, ask your account admin to give you admin rights.

Step-by-step: connecting Ignite Funnels to Claude

1. Open Claude. Go to claude.ai and sign in.
2. Go to Connectors. Open Customize → Connectors (on some versions it appears under Settings → Connectors).
3. Add a custom connector. Click the + button and choose Add custom connector.
4. Enter the details. Name it Ignite Funnels and paste this server URL:
   https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/anthropic/v2
   Leave Advanced settings empty.
5. Click Add, then Connect. A sign-in window will open.
6. Sign in. The window will say LeadConnector. That's expected, as it's the technology Ignite Funnels runs on. Log in with your usual Ignite Funnels email and password.
7. Choose your business and approve. Pick your account (sub-account) from the list and click Approve.
8. Test it. Start a new chat in Claude and type: "Find the last 5 contacts added in LeadConnector." If you see your latest contacts, you're connected.

Good to know

• One business per connection. Each connector covers one Ignite Funnels account. If you run more than one business, add a separate connector for each.
• You stay in control. Claude can only do what you approved at sign-in, and you can revoke access at any time.
• Sensitive actions are double-checked. Irreversible or sensitive operations come with extra confirmation before they run, so nothing important happens by accident.
• Team and Enterprise plans: the workspace Owner must first add the connector under Organization settings → Connectors. Team members then just click Connect.
• Free plan: Claude's Free plan allows one custom connector, so make it count.

Troubleshooting

• I don't see my business in the list. Your user probably doesn't have admin access to that account. Ask your admin (or the Ignite Funnels team) to update your permissions, then try again.
• The connection failed. Remove the connector, add it again with the exact URL above, and make sure pop-ups aren't blocked in your browser.
• Claude isn't using my data. Start a new chat after connecting, and check that the Ignite Funnels connector is switched on for that chat.

Start small, then build

The best way to get value from this is to start with questions, not tasks. Ask Claude what's happening in your pipeline, who needs a follow-up and where your leads are coming from. Once you trust the answers, move on to updates like tagging contacts and moving deals.

Your CRM already holds the answers. Now you can simply ask for them.
