Kadra for Claude and ChatGPT

Your own Claude or ChatGPT can check your email each weekday morning and forward your vendors’ order emails to Kadra, so your orders keep themselves up to date. It reads from Kadra and never changes anything.

What you need

  • A Kadra studio that you own
  • Claude or ChatGPT, with Gmail or Outlook connected to it
  • Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, or higher, for the weekday morning check. Connecting works on any plan.

Set it up

It takes about five minutes, once.

1. Connect Claude to Kadra

  1. Open Claude’s connectors.
    Open Claude
  2. Search for Kadra and click Connect.
  3. Sign in to Kadra if asked, and click Allow.

2. Turn on your email in Claude

  1. In Claude’s connectors, connect Gmail or Outlook, whichever your vendors write to.
  2. Sign in with that email account and allow it.

3. Add the morning check

Use the Kadra connector to get my order email address, vendors and open orders. Then look through my email from the last 3 days. Forward to that address each email that mentions one of those open orders' products or order numbers, whoever sent it. Skip anything already labelled "Sent to Kadra", and label each email you forward. Don't forward anything else, and don't reply to anyone.

  1. Copy the morning check.
  2. In Claude, open Scheduled and click New task.
  3. Paste it and pick Weekdays at 8:00 AM.
  4. Set the task to Run without asking, so it works while you’re away.
  5. Open Claude’s connectors and click Kadra. Set its tool to Always allow.
    Open connectors
  6. Click Gmail. Set Forward, Create label and both Add labels to Always allow. Leave the rest as they are.

What “Always allow” means: Claude does that one thing without stopping to ask you first, which a task that runs while you’re away needs. Claude still asks before it replies or sends a new email, and every email it forwards shows in your Gmail Sent folder.

Once each weekday morning is enough: order emails rarely need a same-day answer, and each check looks back 3 days, so weekends and missed mornings are covered. Needs Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, or higher.

What it can see

It can see

  • Your vendors and the addresses their emails come from
  • Approved products still on their way: name, vendor, SKU, order number, status and expected date
  • Your Kadra order email address

It can’t

  • Change anything in Kadra
  • See clients, projects, prices, costs or notes
  • See your team or billing

Your AI app reads your email under your own account with Claude or ChatGPT. Kadra never sees your chats or your inbox, only the emails your AI app forwards. Read more in our Privacy Policy.

Things you can ask it

  • “Which of my Kadra orders are still on their way?”
  • “What's my Kadra order email address?”
  • “Forward this week's vendor order emails to Kadra.”

Disconnect

In Kadra, open Settings > AI apps and click Disconnect. Your AI app loses access right away. You can also remove Kadra from your app’s connectors or plugins.
