Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Thinkific

Ask your AI who is enrolled in a course, how far a student has come, or what sold this week, and it reads the answer from your Thinkific site. It can create students, enroll them in courses and bundles, extend or end their access, add them to groups and add coupon codes to your promotions.

Connect Thinkific free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Enroll [email protected] in the Photography Basics course with full access.”
The AI finds the user by email and the course ID, then creates the enrollment with an activation date so she gets full access, not a free trial.
“Who has completed the Onboarding course?”
It lists enrollments for that course filtered on completed, with each student's progress and completion date.
“Create a student account for Mark Jensen, [email protected], and send the welcome email.”
It checks that the email is not already in use, then creates the user and has Thinkific send the site welcome message.

What your AI can do

Students and enrollments

Search, create and update users, enroll them in courses or bundles, change activation and expiry dates, and add them to groups.

Courses and content

Read courses, chapters, lessons, bundles and student reviews, so the AI can answer questions about what each course contains.

Orders, products and coupons

List orders and the products you sell with their prices, read promotions and add coupon codes to them.

“Extend Lisa's access to the Pro course until the end of June.”
It finds her enrollment and changes the expiry date.
“Add the coupon code SPRING25 to our spring promotion.”
It finds the promotion and adds the code to it. The discount itself comes from the promotion.
“What did we sell this week?”
It lists your newest orders with buyer, product, amount and status.

Questions

What can the AI do in Thinkific?

It can read users, courses, chapters, lessons, bundles, course reviews, enrollments, groups, orders, products, promotions and coupons. It can create and update users, enroll users in courses and bundles, change an enrollment's activation and expiry dates, add users to groups and add coupon codes to a promotion.

Does the AI see my Thinkific API key?

No. Your Thinkific API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with lookups only. Actions that change what a student can access, like enrolling a user or changing an enrollment's expiry date, can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Thinkific account.

Which Thinkific plan do I need?

Thinkific only gives API access on the Grow plan or higher, so HeyMyApps needs a site on one of those plans. You generate the API key under Settings > Code & analytics > API and paste it together with your site subdomain.
