Troubleshooting

I can't find Connectors in Claude Desktop

Cause

You may be using the website instead of the desktop app.

Solution

Download Claude Desktop from claude.ai/download. Open Settings → Connectors or Integrations.

An app won't connect

Cause

Wrong account or company requires IT approval.

Solution

Reconnect with your work account. If blocked, paste the relevant text into Claude and say "Use only what I pasted."

The output is too long or vague

Cause

The prompt needs a tighter focus.

Solution

Reply: "Shorter — bullet points only" or "Top 3 items only."

Email sounds too salesy

Cause

Generic template language.

Solution

Say: "More conversational" or "Shorter — 120 words max."
