Connect Claude & ChatGPT to FlippingBook
Ask your AI which flipbooks you have, where a flipbook's public link is, or whether the latest PDF upload has finished processing. It reads your publications, their uploaded PDF versions, tracked links and custom domains in FlippingBook Online. The connection only reads data, so nothing in your account changes.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
