Connect Claude & ChatGPT to TimelinesAI

Ask your AI which WhatsApp chats are waiting for you, what a customer wrote, or to send a reply from your connected number. It can search chats, read messages and their delivery status, add internal notes and labels, assign chats to teammates and use your saved templates. Your team's WhatsApp inbox becomes something you can ask questions about.

Try asking

“Which unread WhatsApp chats are assigned to me?”
The AI searches chats that are unread and assigned to you, and lists them with contact names.
“Summarise the latest messages from Maria Jensen.”
It finds Maria's chat, reads the newest messages and sums them up.
“Reply to Maria that her order ships tomorrow.”
It sends the message in her existing chat. Maria receives it on WhatsApp right away.

What your AI can do

Chats

Search chats by name, phone, label or teammate, open or close them, mark them read and assign them.

Messages

Read chat history, check delivery status, and send messages in a chat or to a new phone number, with files if needed.

Notes, labels and templates

Add internal notes, add or replace labels, and read or create saved message templates.

“Add a note to the chat: customer wants a call back on Monday.”
It adds an internal note that your teammates can see and the contact cannot.
“Label the chat VIP and assign it to Sofie.”
It adds the label, keeps the existing ones, looks Sofie up among your teammates and assigns the chat to her.
“Has Peter read the message I sent him this morning?”
It checks the message's delivery history: sent, delivered and read.

Questions

What can the AI do in TimelinesAI?

The AI can read your connected WhatsApp numbers, teammates, chats, messages, delivery status, labels, templates and uploaded files. It can send messages, update and assign chats, add notes and labels, create templates and upload files from a URL to send in messages.

Does the AI see my TimelinesAI API token?

No. Your TimelinesAI API token 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 by only reading chats. Sending a message reaches your contact immediately, so the send tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP 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?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own TimelinesAI account.

Will the AI send WhatsApp messages on its own?

Only if you let it. Messages are sent only when a send tool is switched on, and you can require your approval for each one. Sent messages go out from your connected WhatsApp number and use your TimelinesAI workspace's message quota.
