Customer Support

What the Respond.io connector can do

Respond.io centralizes customer conversations across WhatsApp, email, SMS, and chat into one workspace. With a Respond.io connection in type.com, a support Space can ask Claude to create a contact, add an internal note to a conversation, or check which channels are connected, keeping customer context next to the team's own discussion.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Respond.io once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Respond.io

Can Claude manage Respond.io conversations from type.com?

Yes. Once a Respond.io connection is shared with a Space, the agent can create contacts, add notes, or check channels directly from a thread.

How do I authenticate Respond.io in type.com?

Respond.io uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created.

Can Respond.io conversation checks run on a schedule?

Yes. A recurring check, like confirming connected channels each week, can be set up as a type.com automation.

Is this the same as a Respond.io MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
